The average cost of a plate of chicken rice was $4.15 in 2023, up from $3.40 in 2019, a new study found.

Hawker food prices rose by 6.1% last year but some cost pressures, such as the price of raw food ingredients, are easing. https://str.sg/kmiG

3.40 to 4.15 is 20+% increase. How did they calculate 6% inflation?

0.01

The bigger the base, the smaller the inflation increase will look. Chicken rice of coz use the Michelin price base of the dunnoe what Shangri la brand ...

Our Govt sneakily excludes accommodation and private transport costs to "better represent the expenses" of S'porean households when calculating core inflation!

If chicken rice is too expensive, order steamed red grouper will do.

Didn’t some macik say fish is cheaper than chicken?

Apart from the sharp price increase, the portions keep getting smaller, the chicken keeps getting flattened more by the hawker's cleaver and the cucumbers keep propping up the meat on top for volume.

Ipoh is a sleepy town, but my parents were not from there even though I have a cousin who retired there with his wife after working for decades in S'pore.
