Why prata so expensive?

[ed643]

Just in case go toilet forget to wash hands.

Even if they wash their hands, it's just rinse and wipe with their own towel and back to flipping pratas.

 

[ed643]

It’s the rental of the stall which is expensive

Eggmy say that stall rental does not affect food prices, who is she kidding??

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.

May I know what brand you usually buy. Tried FP and Chinatown brand, not good.

TS then why not make yourself ?

Can setup a home business too.

If government can allow people to make inn home and sell, sure will bring down price.

Salary and cost of production most likely not much change. Except the stall rental unless the seller bought the stall.

[mryongtan]

those other brands all tasteless but the Giant one dun know add what in the dough. Fragrant & very 好吃 sia!
You can eat it on its own.

the ingredient is in the outside packaging. all the premade paratha uses this ingredient, just that Giant added more. don't wanna rain on your parade of enjoyment, so discover it yourself if it's good or bad.

The ingredients are cheap, the skills to make prata not as impressive as pizza also.

Try opening a shop to sell lor and sell cheap to the bros here. 造福人群。

 

[fade_white]

Then just say no
I was at a coffeeshop, plain and not famous

The guy said $2 for the cheapest one
I said no and walk 3 minutes to next coffeeshop and had it at normal price
