Likely during promotion period. Doubt they can survive for long at these prices. The landlords, owners n workers all need pay rise.

landlords and owners need pay rise. As for workers, they are suppose to be cheaper, better, and faster. :cool:

$1.80 is a ripped off. It should cost $0.50.
Well the fact is cheap food do exist even in tiong baru market. So many. Unity chicken rice 1.99. Or $2.50 add sides. Wanton noodle $3.00, nasi lemak $2.50. And the list goes on in tiong baru.
That's the fact. Dont like it? Demand more quality? Morre quantity then pay more. Don't always say only ulu place have cheap food. Like some jokers keep saying. Tiong baru ulu? Then whole Singapore is ulu liao .
$1.80 is a ripped off. It should cost $0.50.
Wat 50c! It's should be free coz ang teng Kee so everything must be free!
$1.80 is a ripped off. It should cost $0.50.
Charity har...:doh:!
Last year, one of the Rochor Centre's coffee shop also selling $1.80 for a plate of chicken rice but now increase to $2 liao, still cheaper than my place (ulu area). 3 different coffee shops selling 3 different prices ranging from $2.30 to $3.00 per plate.
this is just PR bullshit.
3-4 years ago, anana's cafe had been selling dirt cheap chicken rice at $1.50, but can't fill an average grown man's stomach. we didn't see overly enthusiastic grassroots leader or MP taking selfies or making a big hooha, simply because there's no bang in the story.
now........just to counteract the report that SG is one of the costliest city in the world........sigh......
What pr? Get ur facts right. Can u show proof the mp post abt the ANSAN cafe? U are a lot of bull shit.
The fact there are cheap food. !if u say its shit it's shit lor!
Let's not kid ourselves. We know $1.80 is not the average price for a plate of chicken rice. Cafe Anana's $1.50 chicken rice is really sub par, you get what you pay for! And I don't believe $1.80 for the plate of chicken rice will last long (if really looks like the pic). So yeah, it's really PR bullsheet or just marketing!

I don't know anything about PR bullshit or not but I do come across the $1.80 chicken rice at Rochor Centre's coffee shop, the owner is a Malaysian. It lasts for few years and the plate of chicken rice is exactly the same as the picture shown here except that there is no "chicken spare parts" as shown on the picture. But no offence to the PRC, I do find that the food that sold by PRC owners are more expensive than the rest eg. in another coffee shop, a small plate of hor fun / fried rice cost $4 which we can easily get it at $3 at that time. In the end, I think nobody buy, so they reduce the price to $3.50.
To get that plate of $1.80 chicken rice which is not readily available in most other places in Singapore, are you going to spend $4 or more for the transport there, not to mention the 1-2 hours travelling time (and time is worth much more the money saved from that $1.80 chicken rice)!
Why is this so? Simple - Because there is NO cooling measures for commercial property prices!
Because JTC has been selling off their business properties to REITs and REITs jacking up rentals!
Because there is insufficient supply of business properties like coffee shops, hawker centres, retail shops!

GONG DAI! who said that the MP posted about ANSAN cafe?!
you're that stupid that you can't even copy the spelling correctly :banghead::banghead:
anana's cafe had been selling $1.5/1.8 chicken rice since it's inception. in fact, there is one outlet at pasir ris MRT doing so since 4 years ago. same constituency, so why didn't any grassroots leader make a big hooha about it?
kam gong! it's a PR stunt gone awry, just like the $2.50 nasi padang

KAM GONG! no one is whining about michelin meals or chicken rice sets. by the way, there is NO 5-star michelin ratings - WAHAHAHAHAHA. GONG DAI!
so what is the post intended for? if i must explain the context of the post, then please kindly spare yourself further embarassment.
to help promote business for the chicken rice seller? definitely not
a random selfie? definitely not. if you think that our government acts without reason on impulse, please go have your brains examined. oh wait, forgot you don't have grey matter. WAHAHAHAHAH
a grassroot leader posting in a personal capacity is not PR, but when a deputy PM post in an official capacity - it is definitely not for private consumption.
No one say its a average price of chicken rice. But its shows there are cheap chicken rice around and its not like some joker says. only ulu area.
KAM GONG!
$2.5/3 average chicken rice set = 10-12 pieces of decent-sized meat + 1 normal rice bowl worth of rice
$1.8 chicken rice = 5-7 pieces of thinly sliced meat + 1 mini rice bowl worth of rice
to the consumer, what matters most is whether the meal is value-for-money. so what if it is cheap but does not fill the stomach. only a GONG DAI will look at price singularly and sing praises to the sky

The $1.80 chicken rice can fill a person. Just ask for lesser meat (reduce from 5 pieces to 3 pieces) add more rice.

Soon people will tell you have $1.20 per plate chicken rice! Each plate 3 tiny pieces of chicken meat and 3 mouthful of rice!
Anyway, it should be fine since property size has shrunk so small for dwarfs that these people must also eat like dwarfs otherwise can't squeeze into those dwarf houses!

then there's an even cheaper option
2 bowls of rice only - 60 or 80cents max, plus 1 glass of ice water - 30cents
viola! 1 meal that costs less than $1
I'm quite sure most people here can afford normal chicken rice. Very delicious chicken rice with generous serving of chicken parts.

the portion kenna shrunk by shrinking beam. in my undergrad days, the typical set of $4 gave me half a chicken and generous portion of rice. now, it's more like a 1/4 of a spring chicken or pigeon

It still gives generous serving relative to other chicken rice stalls. Chicken feed, labour cost, rental and utilities have gone up after so many years since your engineering undergrad days.

this is called inflation... hahahahaha
So either the developers learnt from hawker or the other way round....
See - for affordability, portions of food shrink and price maintain !!!! Likewise, apartment sizes drop and price remain same...
If someone cannot have enough, top up with extra meat lor...

Some of the dancers at clubs employed by the discos in river valley area are from Taiwan. An a no. Are grads. They have to come Singapore find work coz dancing on stage make them more $$ working back in Taiwan coz there are limited job opportunities for the grads too. I come to know of these conversing with them some time back. Frankly we have it much better here.

well, i don't mind paying more - as long as there is value for money. even if prices went up by $1, it is still relatively cheaper compared to the likes of food republic.
years ago when i was on a study trip to taiwan, spoke to a local working adult about politics and economics and touched on the topic of pay. well, all i can say is they are pretty much held hostage by the cross-straits problem. on the good side, they don't really need to worry much about healthcare costs

and KAM GONG! whether you like it or not, it's a PR stunt gone wrong, as i've stated, as it stirred up the hornet's nest of negative sentiments from commoners.
want to argue - show us how the act has done good.

$1.80 not value for $$$ what you stupid fool want? FREE? or pay you to EAT? Come come! I pay you $1.80 u eat some Shit you want? very good value for you. Wat a joke!
I don't know anything about PR bullshit or not but I do come across the $1.80 chicken rice at Rochor Centre's coffee shop, the owner is a Malaysian. It lasts for few years and the plate of chicken rice is exactly the same as the picture shown here except that there is no "chicken spare parts" as shown on the picture. But no offence to the PRC, I do find that the food that sold by PRC owners are more expensive than the rest eg. in another coffee shop, a small plate of hor fun / fried rice cost $4 which we can easily get it at $3 at that time. In the end, I think nobody buy, so they reduce the price to $3.50.
Still around today? Today is the important timeline. I remember noodle once cost 20c. Ok, say 3-4yrs ago, hor fun from zichar was around $3.50. Now it's $5 and above. Think those who are still selling at $3.50 now are luggie and being stuck in times. They are going to adjust no matter what when rental goes up.

Hawker centre's food are cheaper than coffee shop and coffee shop's food are cheaper than food court. It depends on where you patronise. Few months back, I'm still able to get $3 hor fun with lots of ingredients, (prawns, pork, fish, sotong & vegetables). Now it cost $3.50, portion is still the same as $3 with the same ingredients. If I happen to go there for my lunch again, I'll try to take a photo of it to share here.:cheers1:
The crowd follows the crowd. One person increase, the other will follow. Just like previously, GST only increased by 2% but food sellers started to increase by at least 20%. Increasing of prices is an excuse that everything are expensive, they are actually earning more profit.:2cents:

Few months back, I'm still able to get $3 hor fun with lots of ingredients, (prawns, pork, fish, sotong & vegetables). Now it cost $3.50, portion is still the same as $3 with the same ingredients. If I happen to go there for my lunch again, I'll try to take a photo of it to share here.:cheers1:
The crowd follows the crowd. One person increase, the other will follow. Just like previously, GST only increased by 2% but food sellers started to increase by at least 20%. Increasing of prices is an excuse that everything are expensive, they are actually earning more profit.:2cents:
I have problem uploading the photos using the manage attachments in this forum.

The $3.50 horfun looks nice! Back to topic, I was actually referring to zichar so hawker centrer is obviously cheaper. Hawker centers are owned by govt and rental is largely kept in check (they only have to deal with increasing food prices). However, zichar (coffeeshops) have to deal with increasing rental from greedy coffeeshop owners. Also must depend on where lar but it's safe to say that on the whole, prices are going up at an unsustainable rate. Can't expect everyone to travel around hunting for cheap food right?
Very soon hawker center also will increase price. Why leh? You said greedy syndrome what!

one thing you need to also take note is labour . zichar store typically is pretty labour intensive. Since the complain of no FT.. the labour crunch is causing many to close shop coz they just cannot get enough hands to run the ZiChar or increase price due to labour.

For me, I will not go round hunting for cheap food just to save $0.50 or $1. Provided the food is very nice, then maybe occasionally will patronise the stall even though it is far away. Is just happen this stall is near my office and is always very long queue during lunch time, you must be patient and have time, sometimes can wait up to 30 mins.
Portion looks very small (with such shallow plate)... :mad:

Though looks little but is not little at all. Is more than enough for me. The gravy cover all the kuay teow and the Kuay teow are all in big pcs. Not Ipoh hor fun type hor.
I tot I saw quite a number of S$1.80 range of chicken rice with good servings in Johor. S$1.80 in Singapore is very difficult. You have to pity the staff for accepting low pay but serve many customers so that the boss can cover his costs.
Funny times we are in. People want cheap food. expect large large all u can eat portion, expect gourmet standard, expect local chef n waitress n also expect they be paid well.
I really wonder how this can happen?

lower rental?
lower rental?
why must the landloard take a hit? landlord also have mouth to feed.? lower rental dont mean stall owner will pass on the lower cost either.
There are many food stalls or food business who own their own shops or stalls. I dont see $1.50 food from them either.

how much rental does a landlord needs to feed the mouth?
I suppose most of us here are landlords. Are we willing to rent out our units at so much lower than the market price unless for special reasons. Only govt will subsidize the rental, I don't think private sector will do that unless they are very generous, rent out their units, wiling to earn lesser and help others to earn more profit. Like was mention earlier by someone, even the rental is reduced, will the tenants willing to share the benefit with the consumers but one thing for sure is, when the rental goes up, the cost will pass it to the consumers, likewise we always see the price of the food goes up but never see it comes down.
One thing I'm puzzled with, can FW consider as cheap labour, if it is, why is there inflation, labour cost is cheap leh. I came across a stall, within 1 year, adjust the price twice. Isn't this is man-made inflation? If it is caused by weather that causes the shortage of food, then is acceptable but currently it doesn't seem to be the case. But looks like from Jan'14 this year, I come across, lots of the food stalls have adjusted the prices, why? Last year adjust, this year adjust again.
You must understand, there is so-called policy-induced inflation, like "foreign workers levy", "foreign maids levy" etc! All these not only resulted in higher costs to us BUT yet ensure that for the additional amount we paid, we get less-skilled and lousier workers! All these levies should actually be removed once and for all and these levies amount should be paid to workers to ensure we get more efficient and more skilled workers! This will raises productivity and be better for the economy as a whole!
Similarly, there is also policy-induced inflation/price increases for property, like the ABSD ranging up to 15% for property purchases. When buyer have to foot the 15% ABSD, do you think they will sell their property in future without factoring in the 15% ABSD? No right? Then, you expect future property prices to be up at least 15% + their expected profits or down? If this is not policy-induced inflation then what is? :rolleyes:

Well everyone want to benefit why the landlord cannot benefit leh? Anyway a good example is like the east coast Hay Mee shop famous 1 no need to say where. they own the place. Their Hay Mee got $2 a not? BO mah!. actually its even more ex than coffee shops!
So? landlord or not dont guaranteed cheaper food.

so u smart alec is suggesting what? let the stall get free flow of Foreign work force? or U mean u ok with lowe FT so call depressing Singaporean pay? all fo the sudden you not XENOPHOBIC LIAO?
dont PRATA leh.
Let's be clear about this: I am just pointing out policy-induced problems and mistakes here, and you can't deny that I am stating real facts about real problems caused by policies implemented.
As to your question about I will suggest to solve the problems, that is the typical reply I expect from lacky like you as though I am paid several millions $ a year to do the job to solve their problems, especially ones that are caused by their own implemented policies? No right? So please go ask them to solve the problems themselves! :p :rolleyes:

So all u can do is critic. What solution can u offer may I ask Mr wise ?
What is the problem with being a critic since I am just pointing out facts about policy-induced inflation and problems? You not happy? Then, there is nothing much I can do since I am just pointing out facts, which are too hard for you to bear..............................
And my reply to the ridiculous question "What solution can u offer" I hear from lacky like you is:
Why do I need to offer solution when I am not paid to do the job? :tsk-tsk:

wats wrong point out ur critics are just nonsense noise without solution? Cannot handle it? Can be a critic abt cannot accept people asking questions on ur critics?
I am also pointing out facts u cannot tahan?
LOL!
You have asked 2 contradictory questions here:
1) Your critics are just nonsense noise
2) Without solution
If your statement (1) is true, then please point out why foreign workers' levy and ABSD are not causing policy-induction inflation/price increases (for nothing) as your counter-argument.
If your statement (1) is true, then there cannot be solution and you are such idiot to ask me for solution for (1)?
Regardless of whatever you say, foreign workers' levy and ABSD existed and is and will continue to cause problems. You can point out facts but do not twist and turn and point to your own personal opinions and statements as "facts". :rolleyes:

I am sorry you feel that way. I gues s you are those 5 a dime critic. All noise for the sake of noise sort?
Policies are all intertwined. So you are suddenly non XENOPHOBIC? I thought your Critics was in the past no FT? can you 1st sort out ur critics before just picking 1 or 2 items to critic then prata again and critic again for sake of critic?
Pretty confusing to read ur critics. Oh sorry my expectations perhaps was too high for a 5 a dime sort criticism right? My apologies if my expectations far exceed what you can critic.

The statement have a point . . . .
Typical of no-brain lacky statement, what can we say?
Implemented policies that result in other problems, then the lacky will say "Policies are all intertwined" to justify that their mistakes.
Then, turn around and ask us for "solution" otherwise do not "criticise", as though we must have "solutions" to the problems they themselves created then we can criticise.
Ask you: Is "problem" not a "problem" unless we have "solution" to your problem? Why must have solution then can criticise the problems caused? So typical of responses from no-brain idiotic lacky like you! :tongue3:

But the levy for FW and foreign maids is there since day 1 and there doesn't seem to have inflation during that time, only recent years, sellers start to adjust prices again and again, giving reasons that everything goes up, so where actually the inflation comes from? Does ABSD applies to commercial ppty and hawkers stalls or is it that it applies to residential ppty only?

Oh really? Don't see value in ur critics means lackey? Are then the crazy one barking ard problems and no solution.
BTW What the hack maid levy have to do with cost of food? Ur maid go work in food stalls?
And ABSD what do that have to do with food? Coz its not apply on commercial properties and industrial properties. You are just trying to confuse people with your usual BS critics.
again its show the shallowness of your critics just for sake or critics ? framing its not even a critics. more like trying to confuse people.
Frankly your noise are not even critics. I apologize I retract. They are just whinning noise. for sake of whining. you are not even worth a Dime !
its like noise.
