Not by 10 sen or twenty, mind you .... that being the very common rate of increase in virtually all food these days ... but a whole 50 sen! Yes: half a Ringgit ...
That's what happened recently, when I had the best Char Koay Teow this part of Ipoh: from RM3.00 (which is already a 30-sen increase from pre-Hari Raya prices) in October ... to RM3.50, for a plate of with egg and cockles (no shrimp.) From what I see on the rest of the stalls' price lists - price hikes are across the board for every dish in the shop. The only thing that did not get a price rise are the drinks.
Sorry to say - this will be the last time I'm gonna step foot into this shop until the prices revert back to sanity (if ever) come 2011 ...
