What is in a plate of rice?
Economical rice-- for young working adults, it's what's for dinner, sometimes breakfast, and the next best thing to a free lunch. At least it used to be. But inflation, and an economy that's still in recovery, seems to be hitting young diners in the stomachs, leaving a group that is sensitive to price charges wanting more.
For starters, novice office workers might be hard pressed to find the quality nutrition that their $3.20 typically used to buy because that packet of rice with two meats and one vegetable is not it once was. Where once I received a generous helping of at least eight pieces of sweet and sour pork at an economy rice stall, I most recently got five measly pieces.
A $3.20 price tag for two meats and one vegetable now applies to only general dishes. If you pick a snow fish or herbal chicken, an economical lunch could set you back $8. While economic oracles are proclaiming the end of hard times, those among the lower-earning ranks are still facing everyday reality. I pay a whole lot more for something I once regarded as a nominal daily expense. Worse still, I am barely full afterwards.I think hawkers are serving more vegetables in meat dishes, to save money and to make their helpings look bigger.
Is this a good thing (because we should eat more vegetables) or a bad thing (because we get less of the meat we are paying more)? What do you think? I think it is a bad thing. We are getting lesser of what we are paying for. I prefer having more meat as I am puny so I need more meat to grow.
