      [quote=\"needtoupdate\"]rice sure to go up becos of thai floods,should stock up rice when have special offer and also other tin can produce


      was at ntuc this am, an uncle was putting a few bags of rice in his trolley. should have done the same (didnt think of the floods)................even if it wasnt on offer.

      They will say prices are stable... yet the prices rise slowly but surely...[/quote] 😂 rising price = stable.

      Don't eat rice, eat noodles or bread.

        Yes smurf, you are right.


        hawker centre or zi cha stall expensive!
        yesterday ate 1 plate of hor fun costs $3.50 - not much ingredients, portion also small and reduced, unlike last time served bigger portion.

        i also noticed last time they sell other dishes at $3.50. But now no more, they raised another 50 cents more, so become $4.
        Some vegetable rice stalls, put little minced meat mix into vegetable until never notice. When ordered, is charged as meat dish.

        Ordered meat dish, meat can be counted.

          reminds me of ride bicycle in those kampong days ...


          i missed the past in 1970s.... take public bus costs 5 cents per ticket. The ticket bus inspector board the bus, bellowed in a loud voice 'Ticket please!', then punch one hole in the middle of the ticket.

          Reveals your era lah... Ha ha... Just kidding! 😆 :rotflmao:

              One family of 4 go food court, easily $30. Sorry … I always find paying $5 for a cup of coffee is insane 🙂 local yuan yang is still the best!

                I can’t buy food in food courts in town. Walk 1 round & return to table empty-handed. 买不下手!No wonder DH who works in town always "Cheap! Cheap!" when we eat at food centre in older neighbourhoods.

                  Things are indeed more expensive here. Interestingly, friend from Malaysia who used to think everything in sgp is 2x more expensive than M’sia now remarks that price of food at our hawker is now cheaper than M’sia ! I guess it’s now worse in m’sia.

                    Probably depend on which part of Malaysia.

                        It is so difficult to find food in hawker centers which cost less than $3 for a miserable portion! Not to mention every trip to supermarket cost more than $50 and end up wif so few items!
