certain chinese dishes CMI without pork.......find substitute also no use........just like vegetarian dishes........
The jews have that too...better not for hygienic reasons, the place might close down...
Same lah. Nowadays, Malay hawker also taking shortcut in preparing their food. So the standard will drop.
Malay food the ingredients are cheap but the process of preparing it takes time, lazy then it is quite hard to make it nice.
I used to have a Malay gf, went to her house for meals and her mother's Nasi Lemak is the best and still the best I have tasted so far.

Is her "oven' hot? opps! I digress a little!
Malay food depends on the cook, many of their preparations are hand me down, home made concoction...I like the tradional home cook Malay food..sedap!Lonney you got the "sharp-end" of the "shtick".
Crystal is a "Sis" and your remark was uncalled for. She posted what she experience without resorting with any colourful descriptives......

Malays doIng the following has been going on for decades and nothing new.
1) closing shop after few weeks
2) differential pricing for various customers, various days
3) occupying one table infront of their stall to prepare food
4) quality and taste baries
Mainly due to too many family members involved at the start of the business. So the cost is not sustainable for the long run. They occupy the front table because again too many people preparing so no place behind the stall.
Successful stalls is when the machik is the only cook. Once they are successful, they will raise price because they are not keen to expand.
I ever asked my Malay friends why this is so. They laughed and told me that is why there are no well known or established Malay restaurants in Singapore. They told me it will be a disaster. They told me that they any Malay restaurant will collapse overnight as the discounts given to friends, relatives and friends would take over profits. Staff Management is also not their forte.
Any successful Malay or Halal restaurants would have one key family member who is either Chinese or Indian Muslim.

I have seen this topic being discussed in other forums and the m&ds can even excuse that saying malays cannot choose but chinese can choose to eat halal or non halal which is of course the biggest BS of all. Suppose a chinese stall charged m&ds more they would be crying racism racism kill all chinese but when malays charge higher it's fine.

agree with you 100% on this. I like Malay food but have stopped buying from them because of this attitude of theirs.
Actually care to explain to me the correlation between the so called salary difference and chinese ppl being openly made to pay more? Look what you mentioned are just your claims and i have never heard of it before and even if it is somehow true we don't know the reason behind it.
It's good you do that. I'm sick of this country's attitude in regards to "racism" where chinese are always claimed to be discriminating and when minorities do that it's somehow ok.

i had experienced this sort of price discrimination at the bedok south hawker centre next to the market and also at the 'mas rayu ' or something like
that ...this shop is along east coast road opposite the DBS treasures/shell petrol station. Mokmin near the Bedok stadium also not good.
You can also expect unfriendly service at the Malay stalls at the Haig Rd hawker's centre....nasi padang...satay stalls. They are obviously racist there too.
Rather than bitch about this kind of discrimination and service.....i just dont patronise them la.
No big loss to them or me.

ya lah you know they don't like you then just don't do business with them. Their loss. The thing that kind of pisses me off is that somehow they don't have a problem being openly racist like that yet the moment some chinese they perceive commits some small slight to them perhaps stares at them they'll complain to the heavens that all chinese are racist and they are being discriminated and it can even be something small and even imaginary. Yet they can simply openly discriminate chinese ppl and nope no problems there.
oh! I am sorry, my apology to sis Crystal :(
