Grace Fu: "I always think that if you're prepared to pay S$18 or S$20 for a pasta, why are you not prepared to pay S$5 for wonton mee?"

[junlove]

Actually, I am not sure why. Malaysian (specifically southern Johor) income is 1/3, right? Yet they are already paying 20+ to 30+ MYR for pasta. Wonton noodles 8 to 10 MYR. Why can't Singaporeans do so......? These prices won't kill you, as shown in Malaysia.

By paying these amounts, you keep the restaurants alive. And you have places to eat when you want to.

We msian? How to compare when so many cost of living items different, housing, cars, education, entertainment, etc etc.

She should pay more for her pasta, now resturants are closing faster. How can she still pay $18 dollar for pasta when the price of hawker food has hike 30% or more.

If you expect peasants to pay $5 for wanton mee, grace fu should pay $24 or $30 for pasta

I know it's kinda overpriced to pay $18 for a carbonara when i can get it made for like $6, ingredients inclusive. Yah, using GUANCALE!

The tiong NCs will feel at home very soon cos all their food franchise will be coming over.
Saw a long queue for a new stall opened in Nex a few months recently last month.
When I went pass the same store this week, the queue is gone.
I did not take a close look of what they are selling last month and was thinking that it is some BBT.
End up it is some steamed sweet potato.

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

Whatabout the time taken to make the pasta if doing from fresh?

Isnt everyones job just "flour with sauce" , why have to pay so much for anything?

A Member of Parliament's (MP) annual salary in Singapore is S$192,500, which breaks down to approximately S$16,041.67 per month (S$192,500 divided by 12 months). This amount includes the base salary and the Annual Variable Component (AVC).

With salary like this, i eat $10 Wanton mee also ok for me.

Sigh...

$18 - $20 for pasta is a rip-off.

The 35% only want 3 meat + 3 veg = $5 cai fan
