yah lor... means price will still increase but at a slower rate

anyway, for F&B, most of the time after their prices increase, will not come down one

Anything price increase liao, sure will not come down lo. Except for petrol price always up up down down.

Correct, this chart is ownself bluff ownself la, how to find such price now. Nowadays all food price even at hawker centre also not cheap, default like $5 and above. For zi char rice item, now price is $7 if add one egg, $8, scary siah. If still can find $5.5 to $6, maybe the taste not nice, or portion is small.

Price increase by itself does not reflect the true inflation of these hawker foods.

They should also show how much has the portion of the food shrunk over the years.

For most people in the workforce now (mostly Gen-Y and Gen-Zs) , just stretch out hand and ask moolah from parents.

It is not hard. 😆

Drink kopi-O at a Clementi neighbourhood, non-aircon coffee shop is already $1.30. The extra $1 you paid is for air-con, ambience, location and status of being in an upscale area. 😀
