Inflation going up and many are complaining that the amount earned is always not enough! If only that, everything is just like 10 years ago when things are considered so much cheaper! Surprisingly, today i accidentally found a hawker stall selling economical rice that is so so cheap.
Although the queue for this stall is unceasingly long, it is very fast moving. There are 1 cashier and 2 stall helpers helping customers to put their selected dishes onto the plate. Simply efficient!

I love the fact that I am letting my eyes feast on the variety before I actually feed my stomach. ^^

Pak Kah Hock means happiness of hundreds families in Hokkien if I am not wrong. I am not sure about the others but it sure brings back some joy to me and my colleagues.

There are quite a variety of biscuits and the starting price is from $1 per packet. Some of these biscuits seriously bring back some very fond childhood memories!

Best of all, the uncle here speaks English so I am sure there is no language barrier for anybody. =)
