Another point you have to consider (and let me say I agree they are just profiteering to a large degree now) is the increasing costs of raw ingredients, e.g. fuel costs (both in the production of and the shipment of raw goods. (even things like grain have enormous fuel costs for farm equipment just to get it into the fields and harvesting of same). Trucking, shipping all fuel costs are killing the small farmers & seafood producers. Add to that, processed foods having increasing fuel costs as well (power generation costs). And we haven't even talked about wages which have to go up to allow people to complete the vicious circle. "Tail wagging the dog". I actually give the small businesses props for keeping meal costs reasonable for such a long time, as it were. I've been here as a paying adult for over 40 years and have always had to pay 'angmoh' tax when it came to hawkers centres, etc.
