Since the days food courts arrived,the food standard also drop.For profit and survival to pay ridiculous rentals ,we get shit standard food.Normal stuff like
Mee Pok Tar,Chicken Rice,Mixed Vegetable rice don't even taste like the real thing-all fake stuff and expensive.You taste from one food court in the East and it taste the same in the North of the island.All the stuff from central kitchen.Same shit different place only.How to eat like this?Hawker centre ?
Nowadays,still got some that has edible stuff but how many hawker centres now available.Mostly the older HDB estates has the hawker centres.The new estates are food courts manned by people who can't cook(taste will determine) and only want to earn dollars.
The old days where normal food taste right and reasonable are gone.
I rememberyears ago eating Lontong costing $2 from the oldest HBD estate and I feel filling and satisfied .Last week I took Lontong from some store in the North and it taste like shit and cost $3.50.The vegetable not even cooked!
Looks like I may open up some food joint where you can get real stuff.
While eating the food,you think about the years where life was so much better.
