No money to eat CAI FUN then go "exercise" by collecting more cupboards.

There are no journalists in Sinkieland, only propagandists. This one is no exception.

It's no longer economical to eat economic rice. With the plethora of charges and definitions at every stall, helpers need to have a really good memory in order to charge correctly. Those who don't know the charges by heart will err on the side of caution by overcharging diners. This accounts for the high prices.

Many of us home cooks are capable of producing tastier and far more nutritional meals at lower prices than hawkers. However, workers simply don't have time to return home to cook and there is not a lot to do on weekends apart from eating out and window shopping.

The simple answer is to buy cai png from neighbourhood coffee shops and hawker centres and not foodcourts, especially those in Orchard Road.

Real kopitiams and not those owned by F&B crony franchises e.g. Koufu, S21, Kim San Leng, Kopitiam Group, Chang Cheng Group.

Real hawker centres and not fake hawker centres.

A list of fake hawker centres:

The charges at those upmarket food courts in Orchard Rd shopping malls are priced to meet their rental.

People should be prepared to pay $8 for a meal at Orchard Road. It's not fair to expect hawkers to offer low prices in such an swanky area.

I can't understand those diners at the food court at MBS complaining about the high prices while enjoying their meal in aircon comfort in a swanky downtown mall.

Or complaining about kopi costing them $1.50 while they buy $7 coffees a hipster cafes

That's what annoys me. When customers think that a hot and dirty kopitiam shouldn't charge more than $1 for a coffee, but feel that $7 is reasonable for a coffee served at Starbucks or Coffee Bean. Basically, we pay for what we get, and that is not confined to what's in the cup, but the ambience, comfort and experience we enjoy while drinking it.
