In the olden days, hawkers boiled their soup stock for hours using genuine stuff such as ikan bilis, pork bones and chicken bones. Retail Price Watch Group’s list of ‘Really Worth It’ hawkers confirms that Singaporean gourmands are willing to pay more for good food that’s ‘worth it’ When it comes to hawker food, Singaporeans have no qualms about paying more for quality mee rebus and chicken rice, according to the results of the “Really Worth It!” Hawker List released today (Nov 8) by the Retail Price Watch Group (RPWG). The online list was collated from the results of the RPWG Hawker Hunt, which was conducted on the RPWG Facebook page from Sept 6 to Oct 18. A total of 60 hawkers were nominated and 2,151 votes were cast for hawkers in four categories: Fishball noodles, chicken rice, mee rebus and nasi briyani. Tian Tian Chicken Rice emerged as the overall leader as the most value-for-money stall, followed by Singapore Zam Zam Restaurant’s chicken briyani, mee rebus from Rahim Muslim Food, and Xin Lu Teochew Fishball Noodles. Each stall was also the most popular in their respective food categories. The list also found that taste was the key factor for voters. Of the 60 stalls nominated, the three lowest priced hawkers were not in the upper ranks. With the exception of Xin Lu Teochew Fishball Noodles, the overall most value-for-money hawkers’ prices fell in the middle to high ranges within their own categories. “It is a little surprising that Singaporeans assigned more weight to taste than price when making their evaluation,” noted RPWG Chairman Mr Lee Yi Shyan, who is also the Senior Minister of State for Trade & Industry and National Development. “I hope this round of consumers’ recommendations forms a good guide to those of us who seek value-for-money food in Singapore. By uncovering popular and good value hawker food around the island, we hope to help consumers stretch their dollar while satisfying their taste buds. “Simultaneously, the List helps to single out hawkers who have worked hard to deliver good value to their customers.” The “Really Worth It!” Hawker List can found on the RPWG’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/RetailPriceWatchGroupSG). Each nominated stall will also be presented with a “Really Worth It!” decal to display on their stall to help the public identify them. The RPWG was set up in February 2011 to keep an eye on excessive price increases of daily necessities and food items, so as to address profiteering, excessive price hikes and anti-competitive practices of businesses in Singapore.
