An economic stall in Hougang, has been maintaining its price of $2 for three vegetable dishes and revealed that they do not plan on increasing their prices, according to Shin Min Daily News.
The stall said that they are willing to absorb the increase in costs as many customers are not getting an increase in their salaries.
They have been maintaining their prices for one vegetable and one meat, or three vegetable, for only $2 for the last three years, with the stall also classifying meats like sardines, otah and luncheon meat under vegetables.
They also have a sign pasted on their stall saying “we fight covid-19 together”.
The stall owner, 53-year-old Mr Guo, said that they want to maintain the prices so that their regular customers can continue to afford their food, despite the increase in cost prices.
Hence the decision to absorb the cost price increase for the customers.
