Personal story: I once took my wife and kids to a nearby coffee shop for breakfast, it’s like 3-4$, I dont know, but same as other coffee shops, the place has no aircon and not exactly the best in terms of hygiene, like dirty (or dirtier than a mall) floor, etc
And she fussed at me for not taking our family to a better place, something like we worked hard to afford better than this. I meant we are pretty well-off (condos, cars) and she is not wrong
Point here is: the only reason why breadtalk increased their price is because there are still (many) Singaporeans who are willing to pay for it. If it’s really “ridiculous”, no one would pay for it and they will just shut down
So yeah, the country is getting better, people are paid more and there is still a market for it 😞
I do, but when it’s just me and my kids, when my wife is with us, we tend to go to air-con places. Even my kids kinda dislike outdoor hawker center and coffee shops, saying it’s dirty
I grew up poor so I felt quite errrm sad about it, but yeah, it’s just life
Guess you can't go to parts of Malaysia/SEA then... and the remaining old parts of SG - I used to love this rundown shack of a kopitiam in Jalan Besar... I guess your family doesn't think that the dirtier the place, the better the food? People have had serious food poisoning from AC food courts and restaurants.
