Serious Sinkie Outraged That His Chinktown Breakfast Porridge Cost $8.50!! Used To Cost $8 Only!

[JohnTan]

Would you pay $8.50 for a meal of porridge, minced meat, braised pork and cabbage?

That was the question posted by Stomper Foo after he learned that his friend was charged $8.50 for her breakfast at Hong Lim Market & Food Centre last Thursday morning (Aug 3).

Foo, who works in the vicinity of Chinatown, said: "My kaki and I meet for breakfast on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays so she has bought from this stall on the ground floor several times."

According to the Stomper, the same dishes from the same stall cost $8 on July 17.

Strangely, this cheaper meal had sweet potato in the porridge unlike the more recent $8.50 meal.

i remember a samster would waste 6.9 hours queueing at the causeway just to get a cheaper haircut and wanton mee at jb. total cost for him was $16.9 including petrol and not counting time. at that time i paid $6.9 including tip for a haircut by a chiobu at bedok central. wanton mee then only cost $3.69. some sinkies would waste money and time just to save 69c. sinkie math not very good.

When tariffs rise, I simply raise rent and raise prices on my food catering services.

$8.50 for teochew ber with 3 dishes is considered reasonable at current situation.
Stomper need to learn what is contentment.

Do you know why hawker centres are sometimes closed for renovations, even when there is no apparent need to do so?

This is one of the reasons why.

Refer also to: the hawker centres at Marine Parade, Seah Im and Bukit Merah View.

Akan datang: the Tekka hawker centre.

How can anyone swallow braised pork or chicken.

How can anyone swallow braised pork or chicken.

The same way how any decent human being would suck tulang?

 

[mahjongking]

just learn to cook yourself some simple dishes, boycott those hawkers that charge minimum $5 for smallest potions and $7 for normal and $9 for big...
dont let it become the nom, you are only mainly benefitting the landlord, not really the hawker

Compare to Mcdonald or 1 cup of bubble tea, or 1 cup of startbuck drink, for the same price, this meal is truly value for money.
