    I eat at this chicken rice street stall quite often. 70 baht (USD$2) for the plate I am eating.

    I was in there today and they had a sign that because of increasing costs, all menu items will go up 5 baht.

      I ate at my favorite Chinese place last night. Yes, it's Chinese American food (chow mein, etc.), but it's owned by a Chinese American family and the food is cooked to order. Plus, it's not expensive.

      Most of their entree menu prices were up about $3, except for beef, which was about $4. We're not talking about $30 meals, we're talking $17 meals that are now $20 and over.

        Two questions:

        1. No dark colored, soy sauce like substance to go with this dish?

        2. No chicken skin on the chicken meat … did you have to asked the vendor to not serve the skin or does it come standard without the skin?

          1. Nope, that is how it is served. Other restaurants here do include a sauce. This one is actually calls themselves a "Singapore Chicken Ric" restaurant. (See pic below). I cannot remember if when I was in Singapore if they served with a sauce or not.

          2. Sometimes with some skin, but usually very little.

            We are in a recession, and have been in one for a while now. Some shoes about to drop will make that clearer to those who say we arent..

            For example.... mortgage companies have been laying people off left and right for almost a year, and now a wave of mortgage company bankruptcies are about to hit. Real estate sales are slowing way down, housing prices are dropping as time on the market rises. Interest rates are rising... and at the worst possible time. I think we are about to see the housing market implode.
