Stall rental up liao lah!  GST 9% started liao lah!

Onions cheapest at sheng shiong.
Ah neh profit like crazy.
Potatoes from China so cheap compare with Aussie and US.
Food wise cannot complain, unless you go for expensive ones. Taiwan imported fruits also cost more.

My Malaysian aircon serviceman also charge more.
Up $10 for 3 aircon servicing.

The frozen roti prata from FairPrice is less oily and fluffier than the hawker produced version. I will usually pack a fish curry kosong gravy to go with the home cooked prata.

You can buy many things from NTUC and cook at home lah!  CheeCheongFun and Bao also lah!

I buy the various sauces, curry and pre-mixed gravy from NTUC, Giant or Cold Storage to produce restaurant or hawker centre quality dishes at home at a fraction of the price.    

In jb, when you order prata, they give you 2 different gravy and 1 sauce...
Here...prata so expensive and gravy just 1 kind...want to top up the gravy, they give black face..
