QUOTE(iGamer @ Feb 1 2023, 08:58 AM) 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? Ipoh salary nowhere near KL standard right? should start charging 2x on kl ppl and 3x on pg ppl intruders will stop flocking ipoh by then

QUOTE(iGamer @ Feb 1 2023, 09:15 AM) PG island seldom got noodle below RM5 nowadays. More and more starting at RM5.50-6.00 onwards, but the portion is tiny and not much ingredients compare to KL noodles. if u know where to find still got below RM5 wan tan mee (near my place RM4.50) but yes these day most of the food starting price is RM5 in penang.

QUOTE(iGamer @ Feb 1 2023, 09:12 AM) But ppl who called the radio station complaining is already local Ipoh ppl wor......  ipoh food is made by lazy ppl . The wan tan mee and char koay teow got no fried lard. Eat yong tau fu or pork noodles got no fried garlic. buntong chicken rice uses normal white rice. However they like to charge you premium price for their food. Houses are not well kept. The wall beside the house is not cemented and you can see the bricks even after hundreds of years. The roads are full of potholes. No pavement. Their market is uses zinc rooftop . so old . One of the lousiest major chinese cities in malaysia.

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.

I have been to most cities in malaysia and i can say that ipoh is one of btm of the list. The food is really expensive and the city is really old. U should go to kuching . Their city is well planned and all their house are very beautiful and well constructed.

Kuching don't feel like Msia, we peninsular ppl go there like foreign tourists, not even treated as fellow Msian by immigration.....

How can their own people eat this frequently? Unless they got their own underground cheap kopitiam for Perakians only.
