Sitting at parkway parade basement food court...1 small plate chinese rojak and 1 tea cost me $6.80...and i NOT even full..:banghead::banghead::banghead:
Damm...worst part when i use $50 to pay bill stall holder ask me u got small change...:doh::doh::doh:

Now a days spending in Singapore is really expensive.. That is why I don't spend in Singapore.. I only eat hawker food and take public transport in Singapore.. hahaha.. Why? I hate playing tax..
Eat in restaurant means that I never get much service also need to pay 10% service charge.. :doh:
Buy car means I need to pay high COE which is alway tax.:doh:
I think the best way is to work and save in Singapore and spend in other country... hahahaha

btw, u guys notice one Ah Soh always go starbuck drink coffee, read newspaper and nap there every morning bo?

Nowadays I prefer to eat at hawker centers and coffee shops. Cheaper and better quality food than food courts. Restaurants, I prefer those family owned establishments without gst and service charges.
:D
My family sharing home-cooked food, and we are well-governed by finance discipline and ensure the food is properly processed and served.

Since i switched to home cooked meals 99% of the time i havent had any LS for like I think 10 mths!!!!!
In the past when i was eating out mostly, i LS like at least once every month!!

I think it is about infrastructure for 6.9M not necessarily a population of 6.9M.... and not necessarily half foreigners.
Btw, do you mean inflation will be higher or lower with a higher population.? Meaning... putting politics aside, and assume all 6.9m inhabitants are 100% Singaporeans. Is it better or worse wrt inflation?
Your LS abbreviation for Lao sia???
Ya laosai not laksa lol

can eat in good health is the best anyone can ask for. Lets not quibble about food.. :scared-2:

Beijing Yoshinoya serves with unknown source of meat, and Japan Yoshinoya serves with ionized meat. Generally, home cook food is still productive, effective and budgetary to begin with. The minimum expectation is you choose your ingredients and you are responsible for the food that you are going to be cook and serve.

People are getting all kinds of diseases because of eating out too often......
Don't be fooled by all the organic claims of the those expensive joints like Cedele.... they are taking you for a ride.... there are only physcological benefits of thinking that you are eating healthy.......Suckers!!!!!..... for Cedele.... Ka-Ching!
Home prepared and cooked simple fare is still by far the most economical and healthiest
Yowetan's example should be followed

Have you wondered why food taste so good in China?
You know they add plastic bag to boiling oil to make the fried food taste very crispy?
Please do not use olive oil for high heat cooking. This oil is unstable and turns rancid easily when subject to high heat which is cancerous. Any other polyunsatuarated oil is not suitable for high heat deep frying cooking as well. Olive oil is good for light cooking like low heat stir frying and for dipping.
In fact, saturated oil like coconut oil (exclude pork lard) which is deem as unhealthy, is better and healthier for deep frying.
Highly processed vegetable based oil actually does more harm than good. Go for cold pressed olive oil.
Olive oil for cooking (not the green ones) can withstand up to 180 degrees celsius. 180 degrees is good enough to fry garlic, shallots, but will take a longer time.
As for deep frying, you shouldn't be doing that in the first place!!

a research report by MAS say wage inflation in China contributed to Singapore inflation
In general, the results suggest that the recent
wage cost inflation in China has had a statistically
discernable impact on both Hong Kong and
Singapore’s import prices. The estimated
elasticities range from 0.3–1.0 and are generally
higher for Singapore.
While material costs also matter for the
determination of Hong Kong’s prices, the
producer mark-up has a more important role to
play in Singapore’s case.
The implication for global inflation is that if
China’s unit labour costs continue to rise with the
arrival of the Lewisian turning point, countries
importing from China will face higher prices,
in the absence of appropriate policy measures or
exchange rate appreciation.
