QUOTE(iGamer @ Feb 1 2023, 09:53 AM) Nowadays ppl seldom vote with their wallet anymore. They feel it's expensive but they will just swallow it, and wonder why greedy sellers keep pumping up the prices every few months. ya lar ppl lazy mah a lot store selling same item but cheaper price can be found if u look.

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? Move to Typing, Anson or Kuala Kangsar then. Still cheap in those places

QUOTE(iGamer @ Feb 1 2023, 09:16 AM) In that case really pity Ipoh lah, no reason why any youngsters would even consider work in Ipoh, might as well just work in KL or go SG. There’s no MNC in Ipoh, maybe Finisar or Unisem Ipoh yau normally lou pin or do own business

QUOTE(iGamer @ Feb 1 2023, 09:05 AM) If you have ever bought pre-packed meal from any hypermarket, you will realize most of them not very appetizing. The rice surely not nice, cold and hard. The meat/vege mostly also don't taste nice. Eat occasionally maybe okay, but won't be your meal of choice daily.  These meals are for B40 and those cannot afford to buy higher quality meals. This not for those with M40 and T20 quality stomach.

QUOTE(iGamer @ Feb 1 2023, 09:48 AM) Won't remain long in a world of socmed...  QUOTE(imperia70 @ Feb 1 2023, 09:53 AM) Ofc got let me intro to mekdi, kepsi, burger king. All price standardized  Even on holiday that place have only local customers. I won't say they are better than others but they are equally good; without the tourist factor.

That day went kudat eat fried rice and fried noodle . The seafood they give is worth it. Sabah is seafood heaven and the fried noodle is the best in my. Even cooking from suluk and indon taste good. Crazy. This post has been edited by tankerbell12345: Feb 1 2023, 11:07 AM

The rise of Ipoh as food heaven relieves some pressure off PG though...
