      Depends on the portions. Some maintain price but reduce the portion.

      Anyway, that lavender wanton noodle is best - raise price and reduce portion (I ate the $5 one long time ago and distinctly remember more than 2). Business still good, they are lucky to have good formula.

      Still love my farrer park prawn noodles (Ah Wah...famous also). Auntie never reduce portion, price maintain (a bit steep though), quality still the same. She's usually grumpy but is the type who will repay courtesy and respect with a thousand-fold niceness.

      Somehow or rather, I still prefer malaysia's wan tan mee. cheap and nice as compared with most stalls in local. Haven't try this 'famous' wan tan stall that is mentioned...after hearing all this steep price and not much ingredient, is in my personal \"ban\" list. :yikes: $5, can eat about 5 bowls of malaysia's wan tan mee, and they have 3 wantons.

          [quote=\"smurf\"]maybe the $4 one dun give any wanton at all!


          i tabao wantee noodle before (not lavender stall, its just a usual stall at a coffeeshop), dry one. usually the wanton is in the side soup right, so when you tabao the dry one, they dun give wanton at all, coz they dun give soup. only got char siew (2-3 pieces, noodle and 2-3 pcs of veg.

          Tis is madness....wanton mee no wanton?!! :roll:

          may be ! may be only lah ...... or is it 完旦 noodle !

          wait till you try the prawn noodle at Adam Road hawker centre for S$5 .....[/quote]why? prawn noodle no prawn? or they give baby prawn (hae bee)? :shock:

          I'm still loyal to my farrer park prawn noodle. somehow after them, I dunwan to eat from other stall...must conserve my cholesterol quota lah.

            i’m surprised i could still get pork porridge at $2 from a coffeshop at blk126 toapayoh lor 1. The stall owner looks unfriendly, but the porridge is quite good–even for me who dont fancy porridge. Another surprise is that it’s same $2 price with or without egg

                  Very rare rite! Think for some stores, it's a strategy to lure customers while some might believe to earn lesser but greater volume.

                  Guess it's only reasonable if increase price maintain portion or maintain price reduce portion but never BOTH!

                  Ever since returning from HKG, no wanton mee is nice!

                      $2 is cheap, the stall near by place charge $2.50 + egg $0.50 + plastic container $0.20 for tabao = $3.20 and this is the cheapest porridge

                        the fish ball noodles soup at the food court of Raffles City sells at $4.50/bowl. Very little noodles and after eating, still need to buy curry puff or something else to eat. So lunch is very expensive here in town. At least 5-7 dollars per day just for lunch.
