STOMPer Kelvin was shocked when he asked a food store employee why his plate of economic rice costs $12.80, and was told to go eat at a coffeeshop if he wanted cheap food.
The employee also told the STOMPer that HDB Hub have lots of rich people.
Kelvin said:
"On Aug 14, at about 11.30am, I patronized the Chang Cheng Economical Rice at Koufu Food Court located at Toa Payoh HDB Hub.
"While choosing my dishes, the servers used the dirty tongs to scoop the selected side dish and seemed to be super careful of the portions which were less than a normal scoop.
"I told the server that I don't mind paying more for a bigger portion.
"But I was told, 'You think rental free or the stock free u pay double, this is what you get you. If you are not happy, that is your problem. You go complain'.
"I was stunned when they told me that plate of food costs $12.80. I then asked why it was so expensive.
"And the answer I got was, 'This is HDB Hub... alot of rich people. If you want to eat cheap food, go coffeeshop'. "

Sinkies deserve this shit for continuing to eat at the cheebye foodcourts and malls which are supporting the high rentals and yields for the cheeebye pap govt....... Best way? Dont eat there but support the small guys....eat a he hawker centre lr if you cannot tahan the heat...tarpao home! ,


No reason to continue supporting high inflation, high living costs and giving justification for high yields to their fucking bloodsucking reits!!!!

Rental for shop spaces at HDB hub is at least 20% higher than in, say, the Heeren. High prices explained.

You have brought up a very good point, Airport restaurants are cheaper than downtown. I had an overseas fren that makan at the airport during the stopover and he found the price reasonable,

Yes your white masters could well be promoting that soon as prices of even hawker centre food becomes too expensive for the poor sinkies.
I remembered how they ask you to switch to frozen meat when fresh meat became expensive.
Next they could ask poor sinkies who can't afford even frozen meat to become freegans.
Indonesians toppled Suharto then when many were starving and many more had to subsist on instant noodles....I wait for that day to befall sinkieland.
