The Big Read: Singaporeans want cheap and good hawker food. Hawkers need to make money. How do we square the circle?

“If the public is not open to all these price increases (of hawker fare), I think this is a dying trade,” said Ms Sng Yu Jie, 30, a hawker who added that it is “demoralising” to see some young hawkers give up after just a few months.

Hawkers centres are supposed to be for low income people to have their meals. If you want more expensive stuff pls go food court or restaurants

My wife was sick and not feeling well so I ate at the coffee shop with my son. Guess how much we spent for lunch today?

I ate Economic Rice followed by Mee Soto. While my son ate Char Siew Fan and Mee Soto.

Based on my experience, diners who appreciate good quality food, do not grumble about price, provided they can afford it. There are long queues at certain hawker stalls in spite of the steep prices because the food is tasty, ingredients are fresh and the portions adequate. I boycott hawkers who overcharge and at the same time, dish out children's meal portions to adults. I gave such stallholders a piece of my mind when they tried to hoodwink me.

The poor receive their food FOC from charities like Meals-On-Wheels.
