She did not realize that some of the residents cannot even afford or able to spare the money to eat $18 pasta.
Of course, she does not know any one of them for sure.

It is like explaining poverty to some one who have not struggle or starve in her own entire lifetime.
Why do the residents want to keep more of these unfeeling beings around ?

How often do the average person patronise restaurants vs hawkers?
The meal in a restaurant is an occasional treat, not a daily necessarily, unlike meals at hawkers ( unless you cook)
Ya

Really out of touch nonsense
Should make her lose votes

This type probably can drink $7 or 10 coffee daily
Whereas the regular Joe drinks his 80 cents coffee at coffee shop

Probably why she thinks 5 cents per plastic bag is a non issue

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

Can u give examples of government prohibit ppl to cook at home ?

Your comments insinuated that.

long queue at restaurants everyday at shopping mall during meal times.

$5 for wanton mee is not unreasonable. Anyone who still expects $2-$3 meals are unrealistic.

Not really I don’t think it prohibits people to cook but if you got dual income you’re working and it’s a lifestyle habit thing.

so what you are saying is all hawker food should be $20 becoming like inelasyic giffen goods?

lets talk about cooking for two. Fresh - chicken parts per pack is 5-8$
- Veg is 2.50 - $3.50
- Rice is about $14 per x.kg
- soup prep is $15-20 per pot if you cook properly

it only make sense if you have economic or scale.

please point out how fight to bottom of cost make sense when top line keeps going up

Who the F pays $18 for pasta regularly????

I think I have paid ZERO $18 pasta before
Unless pasta comes with a huge chunk of steak on top.of it

Really out of touch elitist

Herself? She is really out of touch in her ivory tower.
