      Yes, making your own may not be that cheap. I was toying with the idea of making my own curry puffs ala OldChangKee but after doing my calculations - shortcrust pastry block, potatoes, chicken, gas, oil, effort etc, i decided to just buy one for my gal. Buying one is better than making so many and being forced to finish such unhealthy stuff.

            Yes, everything is expensive now…a basket of food like ham, eggs, ice cream for eg can cost a shocking amount compared to few years ago for same thing.


            The poor will suffer, the middle class will be squeezed.

            Supposing the hawkers at food centre or coffee shop do not increase price, the quality used will be of lower grade. The oil used to cook may be of inferior grade too. This is unhealthy especially for couples who eat out for 3 meals. How can people be healthy eating such food on daily basis ?

              Inflation is inevitable.

              Problem in SG for many is wages r not keeping up with inflation.
              Only way to beat dis is to earn more.
              Don’t be over dependent on dis gahmen.

                        there have been a few cases recently of fathers taking on 2 jobs or working long hours/7 days a week to make ends meet and died of heart attacks/exhaustion... :sad:
