The claim that the taxpayers funded Hawker Centre at Changi bided by the stall owner for using Basmati rice is disingenuous & thus justification for such exorbitant fleecing of taxpayers.

The insignificant nobody me had the privilege & honor to attend a seminar & even taste tasting for both Basmati & Jasmine rice.

1. Basmati rice was developed thanks to advancement in agricultural science in India, to feed its immense citizens living in poverty, where the rich & opportunities of life are a given & are insanely rich, while the poor with little opportunities in life & education are kept insanely poor.

Thru such, the grain rice is only a few MILLIMETERS longer than normal or Jasmine rice. Thus, with longer grain size, it would be able to feed MORE, based upon grain size & size of harvests upon mere plots of fertile lands presumed.....


2. However, during taste testing, Basmati rice taste course & hard when compared to normal & more cheaper aromatic rice such as Jasmine rice from Thailand. Perhaps, out of Nationalism, Indians would prefer Basmati rice, afterall - much of their meals are often dosed with spicy aromatic curries to know any difference in rice textures....


3. Ultimately, grain for grain, a cup of Basmati rice would have lesser rice grains than to a cup of Jasmine rice, as the Basmatic rice would be longer & thus take up more space within the cup.

To put it simply:- when a village moron is asked which will fall faster - 1 Kg of feathers or 1Kg of stone - the moron's answer would be 1kg of stone, as he presumed that stone is heavier than feathers, WITHOUT realizing that based upon Newtonian science & laws of physics, both will fall at the same time at the speed of gravity, as such is based upon weight or mass & not quantity.....

You are not obliged to buy if you find the portion unfair if you have not consumed it and have not left the stall I.e during payment time. Once you leave the stall then you cannot get the refund.
Always pay first then eat is the safest way.

In the chinese economic rice scenario, customer first order the dishes, then move onto their register for payment
Thats when the bill shock comes .... at that point of time can the Customer refuse payment, walk away to other stall.
Because usually customer won't make a scene, just pay & remind themselves not to patronize again.

Usually if the item is of a very different pricing eg fish they will upfront tell the customer first when they point at it.
It is also better for us to ask first for fish, sotong, anything we feel it can overprice.
During payment, I suggest we don't own it first i.e still on the hand of the seller. If we find shocking price we can ask them nicely to list out, and last resort is to walk away. I did that several times and telling them nope this is way above market rate. They cannot do anything becos I have already walked away and I didn't even get to hear any cursing. if they curse loudly and everyone hears it, I will not hesitate to tell them, hey I have not even touched the food and is too costly.
