Dou Miao got season?
I can grow my own and wait 18 days to harvest
Why do we need 5 Mayors and 80 PAP Ministers?

Inflation ....what do you expect.
I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Even with inflation the cost of the vegetable dish should not cost $72.00........

Yah, this is damn easy to grow. If I recall correctly can harvest after 1 week or so. Looking at this price, I better start growing again.

Lesson Learnt-
Go Hawker Ctre & Coffee Shop, never order fish
Eat in restaurants, do not eat vegetables!

Knn... $72 bucks for one plate of veg is nothing more than treating customers as cabbage head...
Consumers should all gang up to boycott such restaurants. Come up with a listing to show some consumer power since CASE and our govt will not step in to address such stuff...

I ordered 6 dishes in a restaurant in Chengdu. Got meat, 2 veg, century eggs, peanuts and soup. The portion is so huge can easily feed 10 person instead of just me and gf. Oh plus 2 soft drinks.
Bill RMB 60. That's just $12!
Only in SG every business try to fleece consumers.

The price is many times more than usual but the person taking the order did not even inform the customers only when the payment was made. This is totally unethical and should be made known to the F& B Restaurant Association.

Actually those frequent such restaurant would have know kailan tend to be overcharged one so normally will avoid.
Don't say restaurant, even those wanton and cheeken rice stall that got offer oiled kailan dish, also ish charge quite exp. 1 pax portion in a small plate can easily cost $3 or more.
There was a time when the country asked ordinary men to do extraordinary things.
But now, they'll only do it for money.

looks like eating meat is cheaper these days
but anyway, should check and clarify on the spot and not when you have already finished the meal...
