Chicken Rice Thread II: PAP sez 54% of all stalls sell food cheaper than $2.50

[karmabear]

Sorry I must have been wrong. According to our gahmen body CASE, 54% of hawkers sell food below $2.50. I guess we idiots eating at hawker centres must always choose the 46% that sell more expensive man!!!

No wonder the trains are not crowded, HDB is affordable, plenty of jobs... I think we must be living in a parallel universe?


SINGAPORE: According to a survey by the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE), hawker food remains affordable in April.

The survey focused on chicken nasi bryani, chicken rice, fishball noodles, roti prata, and mixed vegetables rice based on the cheapest single portion available.

611 stalls in non air-conditioned coffeeshops and hawker centres islandwide were surveyed.

The survey showed that 54 per cent of the stalls sold cooked food at S$2.50 or lower.

CASE encourages all stall owners to display the prices of food items prominently so that consumers can make informed choices.

$2.50 or lower lah not lower then $2.50. If they dare claim below $2.50 = majority really can :oIo::oIo::oIo:

$2.50 still the norm at most eating places, I've visited

Where and what you eat? You quite big size wor... $2.50 wantan mee enough? BTW, I am not trying to be kwai lan here. Real question.

If they said 3 dollars, I can still believe. What do Singaporeans eat? Fishball mee, bar chor mee, economy rice, chicken/duck/charsiew rice, wantan mee, laksa, curry mee, char kway teo, yong tau foo... How many stalls offer $2.50?

Lunch most often go to Amoy Food Centre or Golden Shoe is nearest my workplace. Near my house the more famous food centres are ABC Market and Redhill market. Both I visit often and yes many of the stalls still serve $2.50 food. The F**king Bar Chok Mee try to up their price to $3 for no good reason, no one visit then the price go back down to $2.50. Only the more famous ones stick with minimum $3. And yes $2.50 enough to eat. At worse ask for extra rice + $0.30 loh. My problem is not too much input it's too little output

dun worry about my size. sky dropping also not an issue. i love the fact that my body fat reverberates through the air. the sound damn tuakong.

dont eat too much rice if you want really want to cut your weight ...

 

[karmabear]

OK now I understand. Amoy Food Centre, Golden Shoe, ABC and Redhill are all quite cheap. Most champion is ABC, i think cheapest in Singapore. Golden shoe is the nasi lemak lah...

You should try other places. Your sample is among the cheaper ones. ieatishootipost blog got some good reviews and the forum also can give some insight. My opinion is that $3 is more realistic.

I dun believe $2.50 enough for you hehehehe... Anyway, FYI more rice is very bad. Hi-glycemic carbohydrates promote insulin production and appetite. Insulin promote fat storage. Also, carbohydrate is the most efficient energy source, followed by fats and then protein. Eat more protein, less rice.
