QUOTE(daisuke @ Feb 1 2023, 09:26 AM) cannot imagine those living in melaka, penang, ipoh, go out eat need to deal with jam, fight with tourist, parking lik cb, every weekend also dont feel like going out lucky my hometown seremban not so crazy, but recently lots of KL ppl buy house there, sigh, make sban jam also, but luckily not so may tourist, can still enjoy my childhood foods without fighting with tourist You can ask around those in KL, how many of them is really born in KL. Not many actually, most of them are from other states cari makan in KL only and make KL jam also. |

QUOTE(iGamer @ Feb 1 2023, 09:07 AM) So price hike most probably thanks to tourists from outside Ipoh, mostly from KL/Selangor, maybe some from PG....  I guess Ipoh and PG salary should be around same level  toutist from HK.. you up 2x the price, they still "feel" it is cheap..  |

food price increase is all due to individuals like you and I. kalau mahal, jangan lah pergi situ makan lagi. but if you are willing to pay the price, that means you are supporting that price even though it has increased by 30% or 40%.

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? Before I answer anything, there are 2 questions:- 1) Are the ones who call in non-Ipoh punya ppl? 2) Did they all go to Ipoh on CNY time? |

QUOTE(treblecase @ Feb 1 2023, 10:03 AM) The touristy eateries are really potong leher businesses. Nearlee RM50 for jiken hor fun with taugeh & meat balls? Never again. For 2 person & causes so much rage that i piap my gf real hard 3x later as revenge. Lou wong? Worst case is Tuck Kee. Do batch processing. No matter i order kuey tiau, mee or etc, they do batch processing where the taste like sampah. Never ever go there jor. I rather go find those other kopitiam makan than there. |
