Chitchat It's Official! Michelin Fish Ball Noodles Sell For $3, Profit Margin Only 30 Cents! Losers! Might As Well Go Sell Ramen Or Pasta!

Most sinkies have been overeating for years. It's for your own good.

I'm minority in the whole of Singapore, remember? I stand with the 30% who voted against PAP time and again. Ptui! Fuck the PAP!

According to a 2014 study done by the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources (MEWR) and the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI), rental only took up 12 per cent of hawkers’ costs. 76 per cent covered manpower and the cost of raw materials.

Was that a reliable survey? That survey, using 2012 and 2013 data, was skewed towards a primary objective. Furthermore, is the finding valid in today's situation?
Is putting rental and maintenance/services at 15% true? Is raw material not a variable?

 

[Kopi0Kosong]

yes, prices didn't increase that much after the renovation, my only grouse is that the portions were slightly reduced, that's all

Hawkers are usually very understanding and kind. They work hard to earn a DECENT living and many would not hesitate to serve larger portions or even provide free to those in needs. In today's Singapore, many hawkers struggle to make a decent living as managing operators strangle them with high operating and maintenance costs.

besides "cheap" hdb housing, it's sinkie hawkers and spoilt sinkie diners who keep pap in power. the moment sinkie hawkers die out and there are no longer meals costing less than $6.9, there will be unhappiness and anger. pap knows that and has its cooperatives started recruiting jiuhukias to take over the dying generation of sinkie hawkers. they work as apprentices, given blue ic's, cheap housing, and eventually run stalls at hawker centers and food courts. if cannot find enough willing jiuhukias, tiongs are the next alternative. minority food stalls don't pose a danger as they don't have the daunting numbers, and there are always willing suckers and cheap labor from around the region. eventually all hawker centers and food courts will be nationally tampered with and controlled in order to maintain the semblance of the"cheap" or affordable hawker food subculture. it is not just submitted as a nomination for a unesco world heritage candidate, it's do or die survival strategy of the pap. it's that important. but methinks this nationalization strategy of hawker food will backfire.

Better check the fucker story. 30 cents profit out of $3? U have to be an idiot to believe this crap!

Rents only account for 12% of the total costs.

The problem is with perception. Sinkies equate hawker food to be cheap food. Sinkies demand that local hawkers use the best ingredients and charge very low prices.

I see a lot of fresh seafood used in hokkien mee stall, even the average ones. But they cannot charge more than $4 - $5 for a small plate, or else they will be boycotted. I've eaten pasta where restaurants use far less fresh seafood, but because it is pasta, the dish can sell for $15 easily.

There is no future in hawker food except to serve as a magnet for underachieving cooks if prices are forced to be so low for the sake of losers and cheapskates.

Thank the PAP (and its social enterprises, aka PAP cronies) for upping all the other costs.

Hawkering used to be a way for the poor to eke out a living. Now, you will need tens of thousands to be a hawker. If one can afford that kind of money, then one is not poor.

The PAP cronies run hawker centres have other charges that are more than the rental.

The PAP cronies run hawker centres have other charges that are more than the rental.

When a survey states that rental and manpower costs constitute less than 40% of total operation costs, then one should start asking why this is against the established norm.

If the Government is sincere about helping the hawkers, it should conduct a PROPER study on the operation costs between NEA-managed and Operator-managed cooked-food hawker stalls.

The hawkers and most people do not need a survey to know the answer.

Is he backed by Temasick?

How come he can continue to run his business with 30 cents margin from $3? Is he talking cock?!
