Errr.....really disgraceful comment.

I am never ready to pay that price for pasta unless there are expensive ingredients in it and really famous.

There is why I always skip the pasta menu 99% of the time.

 

[mgx-alander]

But im not paying 18-20 for pasta??

 

[PaulLevesque]

Vote her out

 

[aarontansp]

Pasta is just flour with sauce. Anything more than $14 is chop carrot.

 

[Lifeinmotion]

Not paying $18-20 for pasta.

she assuming hawker fares needs to be expensive or keep up with times ?

bad analogy. No critical thinking. Which university ? Can't even explain simple things

Basic economics 101: pasta and wanton mee are not perfect substitutes.
Different market, different demand, different supply, different equivalent price and qty.

To make any comparison between them in such a trivial way, i see it as gaslighting designed to foo simple minded.

Grace Foo just cost pappy my vote.

Earn $70 a day.
Then pay $20 x 3 meals.
Is that what she think?

She think people pay $20 for a meal everyday?

Not really. In Italy is quite ex still lol.

 

[iammole]

Ivory tower eats $20 pasta as staple food. while I'm eating $2 cai png as staple food.

 

[eeLoyH]

I always think this is a stupid comparison.

A lot of people rely on hawker everyday

$5 for 2 meals x 20 days as a floor is quite steep if you got family of 4-5 don’t you think

You cannot blame her, the ivory tower is too high up, no wonder PAP has lost touch with peasants and the common man on the street.

the things she said

Chinese pasta is cheap food, but in the hands of the italianos it becomes high ses food after Marco brought it back

 

[Justanewbie]

true to a certain extent. Hawker also doing business cannot expect them to price too low, they are not doing charity.

But some people expect hawker forever must be cheap, but on the other hand willing to go restaurant jiak expensive ramen.

Cost price for hawker also increased over time, fair to have price increase.

One person prepared to pay for high price pasta doesn't means, another person is prepare to pay $5 for wan tan noodle...
