Sohai TS, dont know how many people will now rage over this suggestion. London high income, earn uk pound. Your friend either student, convert from myr ofc expensive af. If working, sure income wont be high because transfer from developing country. Alot of locals here quite dim, listen to friend this listen to friend that, end up see the world in wrong way.

Also, you are not local you won't know cheaper places. KL very cheap meh? Outside of coffee shop, none is cheap. All above 10.

This, bersepah je meal set <£10. Memang lah got super expensive Michelin restaurants, but those places are for people who think if you have to ask, you can't afford it.

In KL also can get meal <rm10, ada je medan selera, warung meleis or chap fan, take rice, 1 piece chicken, 1 vege can be <rm7.

Precisely. Anyone complaining must not be earning local there, the kind that have to convert everything back to RM. Torture la liddat, not holiday anymore. Unless...

Speaking of which, I'm currently in Ireland, visiting my relatives here. 750g of red onion at Tesco here 59c, huge chunk of broccoli 49c, 1L whole milk 75c. Times 4.5 to convert back to RM. So yea, if wanna be cheaper than Msia, you can.

Back to UK :



In Msia, i dunno how to shop RM5.50 enough for 3 meals as complete as that. Starbucks, McD Msia don't give milk, can't use creamer like him.

So yea, if so want to, it can be argued Msia is more poor/expensive than UK, TS friend is water fish.

Irish supermarkets bread is ok for European bread eg ciabatta, croissants, baguettes etc, but Gardenia kinda bread, that SG Milk bread looks gooding.

TS friend will die of starvation if go Switzerland lol.

I cannot even imagine how to finish £100 in 1 go if shop normally, and that is for at least 4 people's worth of groceries lol. Even if wanna splurge with lobster, some caviar, still doable!

Yea, for that price, i think people rather buy breads at bread shop eg Lavender, Komugi, The Loaf.

Ah, i remember that Italian variant, so they've stopped, damn shame.

Malaysia food is cheap.

#truestory

Sorry to hijack ts thread for a little.

For mak cik nih, if one has been working for 30 years. Even with a just average pay up to 5k at retirement they can still rake in at least half million savings if they don’t yolo like the way you mentioned.

Usually those who can’t sustain are those...
1. Living frugal life but give their char siew whatever they want. So end up even poorer. Self no spend. All char siew spends. Top kek.
2. Gambling god. Self explanatory.
3. Investment that went wrong. Can kesian. But mlm then deserves it.
4. #YOLO throughout.

And don’t rage sangat. Treat yourself a happy mekdi meal 😂

Day day cook at home surely saves a lot. I’m feeding 3-4 pipu with monthly groceries worth 400. That’s with minimum one meat. Cooking 5 days a week.

While many people says Malaysia food is the cheapest, my Indian friends (from India) say Indian food is cheaper than Malaysia's.
