They will say every day different dishes, so pricing also every day different.

Some stall owners will even say, meat and veg buy from market every day different price. Like stock market.

even stock market you also know the full sum + brokers fee before you place order....

every day change the price tag in front of every dish lor....

So do we still think a million bucks is a big deal today?

I think we all agree by now $5k per mth is definitely current poor although $10k per mth is probably the correct figure

 

good luck Sg good luck

If pple can request for their fare price to be displayed when they use SimplyGO when every trip is the same of cos MUST display and SEE before they order loh! whahahahahahaha..

i stay away from cai fai many years oredi.. indian rojak oso same.. wu siang i oso siam.. they can sum up the $$ infront of you then when u go order other stuff at other store they will cut half the lup cheong n hide somewhere.. jin dishonest..

The one thing I want is price lists to be all-inclusive, none of this ++ BS.

See a price, pay it. With ~20% difference between menu and receipt, the menu itself is kinda irrelevant - the difference is too big now.

Went to my regular barber yesterday. Price increased from 10 to 12.  Don't think it's just for the CNY period. 20% inflation!

Mine went from $8 to $10 and same, doesn't look like is coming down again - 25%.

The China guys next door do a roaring trade with long queues still at $6, even during CNY.

Eat out less. Better for health and wealth! 

Yesterday was at a Thai place. Kang kong also wants 16 bucks. Omelette 17 bucks. Really not worth. Of course didn't order these items and went for rice with meats instead.

Agree!

Ownself want to order drink meal without asking for the price, don't complain when the food is served to you.

Dun have the pocket size, don't act big hole.

Pay already don't complain, just make yourself looks stupid only.

Not happy to pay, just don't go back ever..... there are many other sugar cane drink stall/mixed rice/nasi padang stall around...

In Singapore, if your have the money, you will not die of hunger one.

Yalor covid should have been taken as blessing in disguise... came out of covid of cos gotta eat out a bit at first but after that should revert to covid habits... instead most people made their post covid binge eating out permanent 😅

Nowadays most people very busy with work, kids and own things etc, where got time to cook at home. So, default eat outside lo.

Not about affordability. It is about perceived value.

Starbuxx is  known to be a branded coffee chain with a nice environment for people to meet and enjoy their coffee.  People who walk in there knows they have to pay a premium. 

Sugarcane is just another sugar cane drink at the hawker center. There is no brand value or environment to talk about.
