Why prata so expensive?

[A Better Tomorrow]

Roti Prada used to be the cheapest food one can find.
Me stop buying long time ago when it was priced 70c for a kosong

The worker have to roll, press and flip the dough may be 20-30 times to make one single slice of prata... If he charges $1 each, he'll suffer some repetitive muscles disorder and don't even earn enough to see a physiotherapist....

Edmwers make $20k month, let the poor hawkers make some money. Else they all retired because cannot survive. Then no one to make pratas for you.

If want to save money, buy those $10+ for 30 slices of prata from supermarket... Frying is super easy even don't need oil if you have non stick pan. My kids don't eat curry anyway.... Just plain prata also very nice.

I stop eating when most places increased their prata kosong to $1.20

Many places refused to sell 1 slice and insisted minimum 2 slices... at whatever prices.

Can just buy the 30 piece prata from NTUC, go home fry cheapest. Want egg prata, fry half way and split it in half then crack in egg and fry the other side.

Yes everything cheaper but prata price is reasonable cheap for locals too

 

[Lchlch]

Nope.. it's the curry, rent and high utility bill.

Look at their curry, usually liquid whole pot , onl6 few meats and tomatoes,

 

[stingray1211]

buy frozen one and make hot yourself lah ...

then make your own curry or fish sauce since you so smart..

these kind of complains are the worse mind. takes how long to make one prata ? more than one minute.

$1 per hr ? then the store how many workers , electricity, rental ,cost price , water , profits?

got chance I will not even serve such stingy person.

India food all pretty much more expensive in sinkeeland for some reason .
Maybe they expect more India expats as consumers .

 

[Zangief]

not ex they how to pay for coe and car.

So that you would buy their more premium chicken curry, fish curry or mutton curry to eat with the prata.
