$5 Nasi Lemak!

After sending my boy for his piano lesson, I go to Bedok Food Center nearby to have breakfast and past time reading the newspaper. I decided to try out the nasi lemak stall that is not so popular. The food on display look okay to me although not as appealing as the more popular stall. I ordered mutton rendang, sayur lodeh and cuttlefish with nasi lemak rice. I was a little surprised by the price of $5 in hawker center. This is a place for the common man with low income. This is equivalent to RM11.50. The place is hot and basic. The cleanliness is ok, could be better but acceptable. My saving grace is my wife shared meal with me, thus I can divide the cost by 2. We are getting expensive just for basic living.
