Do you think things are getting riddiculous expensive?

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.
Sometimes is cheaper to get from outside. I won't want to waste electricity, gas and time to make a meal for only one person... but will try to make a meal for whole family.
but for pastry, get from outside cheaper. -
chicken pie ex now, $2 - small one

Ya a wanton noodle in 313 somerset cost $5.80 n the quantity is pathetic…
-
if you work in Orchard area & makan is so mahan and quantity small & miserable (eat $5.80 wonton also not full, must eat something else) , maybe can packet own lunch like sandwiches, say on 2 days out of 5 days per week (Mon-Fri), to cut down $.
everyday eat lunch close to $6 just for 1 meal - can’t tahan in the long run. -
ditto for those working in shenton way/suntec area/CBD, not only must dress well but have to eat well (n expensive) too :slapshead:
-
but eating in hwker centre also not necessary economical. a lunch at a coffeeshop easily cost $5 also, if u eat with a toddler.
-
even fast food restaurants are not cheap either. We only patronise if they give discount coupons but nowasdays cut down because of health reasons
