I know of places that still sell $2 to $2.50 nasi lemak served on a plate. Why need to pay over $6 for a simple dish? Good riddance to all these "premium" hawkers.

Serious Hipster Nasi Lemak Stall In Tampines Uplorry Because Residents Too Cheapskate To Pay $6.50 For Meal Set! Young Hawkers Lost $45k!

Sell nasi lemak which uses cheap ingredients and selling $6.50..... and still make a loss?!
Blue rice normally means it's nasi kerabu as served in kelantan and southern Thailand. It should have kerisik, sambal belachan, gravy and chopped salad. The above looks like a fusion version with nasi lemak side dish.
Nasi Lemak is abt the rice and sambal, all the added extras won't be an advantage to boost sales. Keep it plain and simple, like on a banana leaf, a slice of cucumber and crunchy ikan bilis with lots of SAMBAL tumis. 2.00 to 2.50 Max.
Nowadays nasi lemak is so fanciful. Whoa got lobster some more !
Many younger hawkers think that charging a premium on peasant food, with the aid of a hipster signboard and some 'food influencer' accomplices, is a good idea.
Or they do some fusion crap e.g. French+Jap cuisine at a hawker centre.
Open a restaurant/cafe/bar/bistro/izakaya of your own and keep that shit out of hawker centres.
These are the puborkias who are helping to push up the prices in kopitiam and hawker food.
If they want to sell food at $6.90, go to high class food court. Don't spoil the market in kopitiam and hawker centres.
Aiya say so much for what. The market will dictate whether to pay or not.
Huh? He’s aged 24, spent a year as an ‘intern’ at The Dempsey Cookhouse & Bar and is described as a ‘professionally-trained chef’. Lol
After digging around, found this video where he stated that he graduated from some culinary institute.
Nasi lemak was almost the standard meal for Malays. The fancy shit like nasi jenganan (rice and satay gravy) and the indon rice platter (dunno what the name is) was only served on special ceremonial occasions. Very high in refined carbo and trans fats. Now people can eat everyday.
Like that how to avoid amputations?
Looks good. As a treat it's ok...
If he had studied harder at his culinary institute, he would be selling pasta, sushi or steak, instead of low SES nasi lemak.
Say is do own business actualee is slaving and contributing all their earnings to the stall owner I.e contributing to the success of other people = ter nao
A small serving of sushi can sell easily for $3 even at such a place.
Low SES people who balk at paying $7 for nasi lemak will easily spend $10 buying cheap sushi without blinking an eyelid.
