top reason is import

literally most foods in SG are import thus no choice suck thumb have to endure the price hike.

my uncle at least reasonable he not greedy when he sell to locals since he import meat from Aust , USA Smile unlike others trying to ride the wave

this is why some earn a lot.

but also have to see those individual sellers who get the supply. My Uncle he can afford to sell cheap to sellers but down to sellers they want to increase how much to sell is their own choice, this is why some seller sell expensive some not greedy since supply sell to them is never increase much thus they can sell cheaper.


This is why I see some hawker is BS keep claiming supply expensive so need to increase price, hello there are so many supplier , of course each supplier offer different price.

why some hawker never increase much because they can find the same quality stuffs from cheaper supplier.
I don’t buy usually got foc bk
JB got quite a lot. Didn't see that price as I have given up on eating BK. After eating, the next few days, the gum will be painful.
