Yes. So it wasn't only me. Was having breakfast at a so-called famous ipoh kopitiam, price came up to rm 160 for 4 person.

Granted the food is good and we did order quite a bit but some items quite expensive for Ipoh. Curry noodles with seafood rm33. Roti bakar RM6.5.

Not saying we can't afford or food not nice but just seems like KLCC price.

So was tuning into 988 radio this morning, the topic was food inflation and many whom called are from Ipoh saying the local Chinese food/noodle is beyond local affordability.

Is this due to too many KL ppl went to Ipoh nowadays, they push up the food prices there? blush.gif

Ipoh salary nowhere near KL standard right?

I went to Perlis during CNY holiday and the food price has little different compare with Selangor area standard.
Only RM1~3 diff if is noodle, nasi ayam. Drinks is RM1~2 diff

Thats what happens when u have many influencers overhyping up a certain place when even the food is not nice. Many years ago ipoh food was decent. But now really not nice at all and prices have gone up due to the high volume of tourists. Once one shop increases their prices, every other shop will follow suit. Every single dim sum i tried in Ipoh suck so bad.

The same goes to penang. Lousy food but overhyped up by influencers.
