Your better off sending your maid or a local, or be prepared to do some research on prices, so that you have an idea if it's too expensive. We are all fair game, but many of the wet market stalls can be relied upon too, so it is a minority that will screw you and not care! It happens!Travailes wrote:With the lack of any published prices evident are the prices determined by the stallholders ? Eg Local prices / Tourist prices / Expat prices.

Funnily enough I was there today buying some school uniform. Took a stroll through the market and thought it was shocking. Most stallholders seem to have abandoned the place and those that were left were battling against the atrocious smell pervading the place - later traced to the Holland Village communal bin area just across the car park. Food in the hawker market was fine though.ksl wrote:Travailes wrote:With the lack of any published prices evident are the prices determined by the stallholders ?

Take Holland Village, just because expats have made it a settlement area, since the British Military pulled out prices have rocketed, property too, it's a common fact that expats maybe targeted with higher prices.
The locals haven't realised that they are responsible for pushing up prices due to their greed, but actually reducing their market too as people will shop else where when they are aware of price sensitivity.
