Have your cake

Truth be told, this serving of carrot cake is much much larger than what you will get in any Kopitiam Foodcourt. Got it for $3. Kopitiam will charge you at least $4, $5 if it is located in one of the newer malls.

Inflated Mee Goreng

A simple meal of Mee Goreng, bought off an eatery in the Aljunied MRT station, set me back by S$4.00! The MRT is frequented by the low to lower middle-income people, like me. That's runnaway inflation for you!
