I was at J8 food court, food junction. And is true everytime after renovation, food price soar faster than stock market LOL

Average meal I walked around every stall is $10-15 wtf???

How to sustain. A normal prawn Mee is $12, a normal 1 pax duck rice set with veg is $16????

I had a terrible af pork cutlet for $17 which normal coffeeshop may cost $9 max?

All the businesses are increasing the price due to rental and someone can say not happy can leave sg or rental is not the main problem of fnb business?

Also, what's the point of having CDC vouchers when most places cannot use even many coffeeshops also don't accept????

Food is getting so damn expensive. In before ownself cook, but hello groceries are not cheap either. And for single bbfa like us or couples cooking is not as worth and may even be more expensive than eating out.

In before some jjww their area food is cheap but many new estates or those more ulu area food are expensive or need to travel out by a feeder bus also not cheap caz need pay for transport. Like my place, within walking distance 0 food options I have to take bus out.
After giving chicken wings, they are now taking back the whole chicken and more

Still think got free lunch ah?

Plus businesses are not stupid - they will hike prices once new CDC vouchers are announced cos they know folks initially won't mind cos they are not spending their own money; but once these vouchers run out, then GG lor

Really like frogs in a boiling pot - all still think they are enjoying a nice hot tub

Same here - cook for myself and it's not a chore cos I only eat 1 meal a day

I always aim for 50% discounted meat items from Cold Storage

Can get a very nice steak for less than $10
Those discounted meat not fresh leh, my tastebuds can tell

Think got coffee shop around j8. That saying it is getting more common for food court to reach restaurant prices.

These will drive the prices of restaurants, coffee shop and even hawker center higher. There are correlation to each category to increase after awhile.

Most of us who want cheap food will have to go for those store owners who want to assist the needy. I won't expect them to last another 10 years though.

Sometime I think of it. Hawker or FNB their margin very thin.
We need help them to pay more to earn.
If hawker sells 6.00.for.a chicken rice we should tip them another 2 dollar to help them out.

To tip them or not, personal preference.

With more social entreprise centers and more youngsters venturing, I am wondering how long the hawker centers continue to generate affortable food.

With millions of population and things getting more expensive, only 1 party benefits from it.

TS can consider moving to other countries with low COL and low wages too.

No point whining when you are the minority.

Either live with it or get out

You are right.
They are harvesting now.
The one after that will be paying the dues cos the place will be going down due to all the bad decisions that they made now.
Tis has been replaying over n over again throughout history. In different places oni. Ppl r just naive. If they successfully make u a slave to benefits n monetary gains. Then most ppl will just be swayed all d time towards d wrong direction. N their judgement will be clouded n can't see the truth.

By d time they realised wats going on. Alr too late. Becos they oni see d surface.

Dats why there wasn't shock at the attempt 2 sell Income.
Y will there be shock if ppl aren't loyal n patriotic? When they see it as just a biz deal for gains?
