Would you pay $6 for this plate of vegetarian food?

STOMPer Winzky was stunned when he was charged $6 for this plate of vegetarian food at a hawker centre in the Whampoa area.

Here's what the shocked STOMPer wrote in an email today (Dec 6):

"Have you ever been charged $6 for a plate of vegetarian so-called 'fish' ,vegetables and 'ngoh hiang'?

"The black things on the plate are simply bean curd skin wrapped in seaweed. They cost $3 apiece.

"This is daylight robbery, would the public accept this?

"Someone should take action on hawkers like this who overcharge customers?"

MIW's will tell you, that it is cheap, the actual price is $8, and $2 had been subsidized...

Master Yoda, why are you wasting your time here? When are you going to complete my training?

boycott also no use...your stomachs calling...

many old hawkers have given up...sell their stalls or rent their stalls...sit back and limkopi while suckers like us patronise their stalls run by FTs or garbage cooks!!!

standard of food drops like shit in singapore!!! the prices are also smell like shit!

what is happening here!

You people think hawkers make a lot of money and enjoy a luxurious life?
Think again! Like us, what they earn goes to the government.

many old hawkers worked until die...now their children simply rent or simply sell their shops or stalls...and many prcians are rushing in....and we hungry customers become suckers lor...

I have some solution on this problem:
solution 1, spend $60k learn cooking in France and cook at home, done.
solution 2, get free meals in temples/churches.
solution 3, tactically sneak in any wedding/7 moon/funeral party to get free meal.....
'there is food, there is you' but dressed up properly like miw, don't let it look small time!
