Eating out at Hawker Centers or Coffee Shop has 7 Risks and EXpensive

Now got so many kitchen gadgets, so cook simple dinner at home is better

This is a packet of $4 dry bak chor mee from Ghim Moh Hawker Centre. I was gobsmacked when I arrived home.

Tried targeting the cost below $2.50 but failed.

Cut corners then might as well eat at home

It is the old elderly that gets cut throat by coffee shop

Because PAP cannot protect the old and vulnerable

I cook my own fried rice with tiger prawn is around $2.75 ( exclude electricity)

I am wondering if CNY home meal can be $2.50

so, here goes . . .








Chinese roll= $7.95 per pkt= $$2

Egg fried with prawns= 21 cents + 20 cents

Japanese hot pot soup= $2.90
-------------------------------------------

Total ( including rice) = $5 +

Everything that is on offer, buy and cook for CNY

Prawns, hgoh heong, japanese pork soup, pork kee frozen pork . . . 

Without promotion, CNY lunch/ pax  will surely be at least $8 at home

Jap instant noodles $2

Lettuce 20 cents

Mince Pork $1.50

What happened to your life when you were yang?

How come you have to scrimp until like this?

Ideally, in old age, you should eat better.

But it's ideal. I know not everybody is born with a lucky star.

Seems like the WP is not doing its job.

 
Likley young got a degree think he is king ... become lazy 
Earn some money spent it all no save no investment
Lster years become irrelevant thinking the world will halt for him and wanna upgrade 
Now old, no money ... have to thrift and skim
