Food Republic, Vivo City - Yong Tau Foo...........

[Maxus-MIFA9]

Received this from the e-mails and would like to share with all. It is a printout of a receipt and you will be shock for the price of "Yong Tau Foo" cost at the Food Republic, Vivo City. Would you pay $19.20c for a bowl of ordinary Yong Tau Foo..........

 

crispy Tau Kee - 1 pc at $3.00/-

bitter gourd - 1 pc at 90c

 

the rest of the items as stated in the receipt......

[Sfhuang]

But he/she ordered 17+ pcs leh! Usually 7 pcs go for $3.00-$4.00 correct?

[Kingcopa]

U also have to pay for those cheenagal servicing u. I mean serve ur food and clear ur food

[Wt_know]

Total 20 items for $19.20 (approx $1 per item)

 

Normal food court price is $0.50 per item.

 

So, in a nutshell the price is either 'double' or 100% more expensive

 

Did your friend know that Food Republic is not a 'normal' food court ?

You might take a look at the crispy Tau Ke. (second items & last items on the receipt)

 

first crispy Tau Ke at $3.00/-

second piece crispy Tau Ke at 60c.

 

Is this cheating......

This is 1 reason y I do not eat Yong Tau Hoo at foodcourt.

 

Coupled with their rental, their cost per price will be higher. That's y many of them have a min purchase order..

 

My current fave is still at Sin Ming and Kallang. Cheap and

[Wanderer]

Not "normal"?

"i usually buy from wet markets at $0.20 per pc, go home and cook it"

 

 

Ha..ha..., same here, my wife bought it from Lor 7, Toa Payoh market, 7 pieces for $1.00/-

[Toyo]

wow.. yours cheaper leh

[Maxus-MIFA9]

"wow.. yours cheaper leh"

 

 

Yes......... you can pick & choose. Blk.21, TPY Lor 7 market. There are 3 stalls selling it and their competition is [thumbsup]to us and thereby, value for money.

[Curahee]

I nv go there eat before. But from the way its decorated, its ex. Blame it on the rental. It muz be damn high

[Penthousepauper]

This food court is very very expensive....

 

I tried their Yong Tau Hoo and I regretted it 'cos it's nothing special.

 

I also had a bowl of laksa for $12.00!!!!!!! He claimed to be from Depot Road... also nothing special. The actual Depot Road stall is now in Alexander Village and he charges only $6.00 (but no air-con), and he displayed a sign saying that they do not have any other stall elsewhere. So, don't be fooled by the signboard.........

 

I tried the fried prawn noodle and the fried kuay teow in the Wisma Food Republic. It's lousy.

food republic is own by the BreadTalk Group so prices are expected to be steep
