Izzit? The same few restaurants I frequent haven't really
adjusted the prices drastically yet. Hope they won't.

You're welcome to join us, Tammiemeow! 
I remember when I went into one of the Asian grocery shops along
Victoria St about a month and a half ago, they had run out of their
big sacks of rice.
I think that was during the time when Singapore
and its neighbours had a bit of panic re. a possible rice
shortage.
Now, the large sacks are back in stock, but my favourite Golden
Phoenix brand from Thailand is missing!
Sigh...
Hi Rhonda, Pacific House along Victoria street also increase
their price for steamed rice. I used to go there often. Now, I
tabao dishes home and boil my own rice. Was at KFL supermarket in
Flemington. Those big sacks of rice you mentioned went from AUD25
to AUD 38.
Luckily I am not a rice person...
