No I didn't ... not yet, anyway. New blog post come then only I'll change, for now is still chicken rice lol.

To me it's worth it to go once (only) just for the sake of saying 'yes I've eaten at that chicken rice place.' But for a return visit no way

Great blog by the way. Enjoyed reading it

You should try their laksa, rojak and ice kacang. Just as pricey. Bad if you have to pay out of your own pocket, but good if you have a company credit card.

But despite the prices, the place is full most of the time.

All the food outside are rip off anyway. Depend on how much you are already used to being rip off and how much you are willing to be rip off for something new.

seriously I don't know why ppl would pay so much for chicken rice. I tried a number of times, on company expenses, the chicken rice is great but still too expensive.

$32 for a chicken rice? -____- And I thought chicken rice shop was overpriced...

Yea .. Form 8 .. Spass application

Hi, is any one from IT field / programmer work in SG now? How is the software / IT industry there?

I'm a degree freshgrad, and thinking to try some career opportunity at SG. Currently working in a bank's IT department @ KL for less then 3 months period.

How is the salary range for a Msian at there?

the only programmer i know here made $8k/month fresh before bonus... after 4 years, he's making $13k/month for basic, i heard bonus was last 18 months...

So pricey for hawker food at the hotel.. if I go to hotel to eat, I would pay to eat "hotel" food.

For "luxury" hawker food, I would just go to lau pa sat. Price still above average at lau pa sat compared to hawker centres but cheaper than Chatter Box. But no air con at lau pa sat

Yes, outside food is a rip off, nowadays hawkers can charge as much as $10, on the extreme side, particularly when you pick more meat.

Sometime back, this guy was charged like $600 for ordering crabs, something like that.

Even for the cheapest HDB's kopitiam you can get, I would say the material cost price is only 20 to 30 per cent of what you paying if you cook yourself at home. The 70 per cent you paying for the extra oil, salt and unknown chemicals. Only the rich and healthy can dine out everyday hehe.

The 70% is for the time & effort required if you had to shop for the ingredients, cook it and wash up afterwards yourself.

The food is not going to shop itself into your fridge and cook itself onto your plate.

It's a trade off each of us has to decide for ourselves. Is the time required for you to shop, cook and wash - worth more or less than the 70% value add you pay to the stall? If your time is less valuable, then do it all yourself by all means. But if you deem your time to be more valuable, then so be it. Eat out.

it's "lulus sepenuhnya and lulus sebahagian" respectively.. u can check ur stpm cert.
