Hawkers who raise prices AND reduce QC!!!

fudgester SG

Okay, okay, this may be a little whiny.... just a little pissed....

I was having lunch just now..... some curry rice with roast chicken.

Basket.... not only did the hawker raise the prices, the chicken pieces have shrunk as well! The chicken was about half the size of what it used to be!

I don't mind paying a bit more in light of rising raw food prices, provided that quality is maintained... after all, the hawker needs to make a living too, no?

But lowering QC on top of raising prices is not the way to go!!!

welcome to singapore, where price is forever higher than quality

I can fast for any six days in this month.

Knocked three down already. Taking a little break from fasting before I resume tomorrow.

hisoka SG

can you further break down the fast into blocks of hours? like fast 4 hours at one shot?

anyway yes! I hate the downsizing of portions. Too little means you eat a meal but you are not full and eat more later

deathwish SG

Meaning eat already not full but not satisfied with your eating experience

which hawkers don't want to serve big portions and get many customers so that they can earn tons?

with prices increasing, rent going up, what can they do ??

thats exactly what the TS is unhappy about.

either you up the price or shrink the portion, not both!!!

If this happens, I just dont go back to eat again.

You should tell the hawker. tell us for what unless you publish the hawker and location.

You can choose to say something to the hawker:

One more price increase, I think I will only get invisible rice, curry and chicken from you

I go to this Cai Png place. The aunty gey-kiang, tell me that she think I should lose weight so give me less rice. So everytime I go there. I tell Aunty, I never tell her to give me less rice. And look at me, I am happy to be fat. I told her to put the rice back where it belongs, on my damn plate.
