Hawker Who Sold Viral $11 Cai Png With Fish Explains Why It is So Expensive

[TerrexLee]

Cai Png is a favourite of many Singaporeans, mainly because it is super convenient and affordable.


This man ended up buying $11 cai png and labelled it as robbery, and the hawker has since responded.

$11 For Rice, Fish and Yong Tau Foo Dish​

Reddit user Dagachi_One shared on 15 June that he paid $11 for cai png at an Ang Mo Kio coffee shop.


Sharing a picture of the lunch he got, it consisted of rice, fried mackerel fish, and a yong tau foo dish.

His post read, “I paid $11 for lunch this morning. I bought this from a neighbourhood market. I know fish is expensive but come on is this too much. Inflation or robbery?”


For some context, a cai png meal usually costs around $3 to $4. If one orders a seafood dish, it is expected to add a couple more dollars to the total.

When someone is saying, we didn't even charge for this and that, i call it bullshit.
As a business person, you charge for everything to recoup your cost.
It was overcharged. End of story.
The fish cost $4 maximum and veg $3. Total should be $7 at the higher end.

Owner says the stall buys fresh fish only that's why so expensive but why need to buy fresh fish to deep fry?
