Rm15 you eat at Nasi Kandar, mamak and whatever it is.That not even fancy restaurant too. And Malaysia really loves KFC despite the high cost living. Snack Plate easily Rm15 there.

Diner condition got nothing to do with it. Japan typically have small and narrow city area. One ramen diner can only fit 10 people at the same time. But their food is the best. Lunch box food at 200yen(Rm2.00 if direct value). Can get half price cheap when supermarket want to close down.

Its literally cheap everywhere in Japan unlike Malaysia. My place can get Rm1.50 nasi lemak. Quite big portion but too bad only open at night.

Property no need to tell lah. Increase price every year. You got heard house price turun harga meh?

Food, car, gadget price 10 years ago no different lol. Anyone can tell me how much Myvi price out in 2005?

120k was 1996 price la
Not that cheap la 2006 around 250k+
Now about 500k min
But food in 2006 is already same expensive since then
Others more or less the same

I bought my 2006 myvi around 45k only
Phone back then 1k+ lousy function also
Internet crawls but as expensive
Calls are charged by minutes...

why u treat 200 yen as rm2?
like that then Universal studio Osaka ticket costs only rm75 lo?

in JP the cheapest bento in convenience store only cost 300 yen with rice, food pricing wise there isn't that expensive, just like Singapore, the expensive part goes to housing

anothing thing in JP which is expensive is the mobile data plan, even tourist SIM Yasoko 3.5 GB costs rm120, other electronic gadgets are cheaper in general though, where it is easier for tourists to get waived from VAT

some people only think to maximize their profit. They think spacious and comfort will attract most of the client, ended up paying much more for their facalities, this will increase the food price and reduction of quantity.
janji sedap and keep healthy.

work klang vally but no 3k?

food portion larger meh? their bento so small portion only compared to zhap fan here
speaking of 4 season.. malaysia don't even need to invest in thick winter clothings and electricity for heating.. that already cost a lot of money..


you funny.. take RM15 go eat Nasi Kandar... KFC snack plate also around RM12 where got RM15..you see KFC full everyday doesn't mean everybody is eating KFC everyday.. you think it's the best cause you hardly eat japanese food mah.. you try eat ramen every other day for 20 years and see...

who ask you stay so atas place.. you think if you staying at Roppongi you can get cheap food ka? maybe have to dig those really back alleys lah

Myvi 10 years ago 45k, now still 40k++
Malaysian still kena ripoff by Perodua. They still not realized.

10 years ago = pay so much on sms and phpne call
10 years later = pay so much on data plan internet

Its changing but still not changing.

hadoi see my previous post. You will see what I mean.

Tourist in Japan now can rent Pocket Wifi. Unlimited speed and price less than Rm100.

ya hor heating , winter clothings can last long ..
then malaysia quality of life >japan

Knn mistaken snack plate with dinner plate. Oh well, I dont go KFC anyway.

What I trying to say Tokyo while considered as one of expensive city in the world, the food cost is cheaper, the basic food there is affordable.
If they can why cant we too?

You think Japanese food only consist of ramen?
They got katsudon, miso, soba, sushi, sashimi etc.
Their food variety is larger than Malaysia food.

Malaysian every day eat nasi lemak no complaints what? They even miss it when in overseas.

i limit my eating at rm12 at most a day. usually spend around rm8 for lunch.. i dont take breakfast or dinner. only lunch. will take dinner only once in a while.

rent quite cheap 150, house near to office, no parking fee but far from public transport.

after a month using mom's car, she call asking for her car back. i plan to buy second hand car.. (dunno how to ride a bike)

er... this one.. macam betul jugak.


ps: recommend me a car.

apa side income
ayam also fresh grad

People keep having misconception living in Japan cost a bomb. Ive travelled there and i can honestly say the expensive part is just getting a place to live. Otherwise their food and facilities are better and much more affordable

Average cost per meal is easily 500-1000¥ which to their salary is like spending RM5-10

The one who said winter clothing cost a bomb, dey so hang every winter buy new clothes issit?

My website. I've explained it here

now ayam still dont have soulmate, good for saving, but..

there was my hard time when I need to cut that nugget into 4 pieces, then each pieces were put into cekodok... we fried it, and try to thinking we eat chicken now lol... we got 8 cekodok, so 4 for me, 4 for my housemate

excluding recycle the 4 days rice, cooking near spoiled chicken, go to any university campus so i can have student price lunch/dinner

Dont convert?

Then Msia food more expensive then Singapore, London, NewYork..... Malaysia ke arah high income nation yo!

your winter clothing have to wear at least 3-4 months minimum a day every year. give or take 2-3 years also need to change d gua

Nope the food cost is expensive, it's just that their currency is very strong that's why it 'appears' to be cheap for raw materials. you cannot just at food price per say. if two people earning 3k in Japan and KL, the one in Japan probably already burn 1-1.5k on rental compared to one in KL and doesn't own a car.

Yes it is quite limited. Our zhap fan alone got at least 20-30 probabilities liao of difference dishes liao. Nobody will say i miss zhap fan in social media

apa RM400 for car? fresh grad must drive god car already

RM1000 per month for 9 years

2 years ++ ,some expensive 1 worth rm600 above.
after 2 years it will start to degrade.

in package malaysia slighty cheaper then japan? i miss nasi lemak!!
