old chang kee standard drop alot liao ...esp curry puffs .. i thinnk they came out with too many other stuffs thus causiing their food standards to drop ... when OCK first came out o quite liked the taste of their curry puffs ... now the size (of the curry puff) seems to have shrunk n the taste wasnt as good as last time .... n oso now more ex liao .. rmbr the curry puffs were going at $0.80 each .. now its 1.10 to 1.20 ...

I used to like the curry puffs, but last year, ate one that tasted almost flat, got no kick at all, so haven't bought since then.
May give them one more chance today and try again at 80 cents! -
I have boycotted them since their last price increase
Chicken wings up from $1 to $1.20
Curry puffs up from $1 to $1.10
Some of the other items like sotong up from $1 to $1.20
Yet, I see so many people still eating from them.
I once spoke to a friend about price increases. He said up 10cents 20 cents, never mind, its only 10 cents 20 cents. He got the fiercest of tongue lashing from me.
In a company, they look at their revenues. If they increase price and find that not only do they not lose customers, but their revenues go up, they will do it the next year again.
Every year, 10 cents increase. Idiots will continue to patronize saying its only 10 cents increase.
That's the problem with Singapore. Our citizens don't know how to boycott. -
food at OCK is too oily for me
-
I dont think many people will dare to buy their IPO since a lot of pple are boycotting OCK already. There are too many outlets around and their customers base dont seem to be increasing.

Then you do not understand the issue about this.Originally posted by Hello Kitty:u ok one anot de.

if you support a retailer's increase, then he will do it the next year, and the year after next. Each time its only 10 cents mah (so you say), so every year, 10 cents go up.
Assuming an item is $1.00, $0.10 is 10%. That's an inflation of 10%!
If you don't understand this, then you are contributing to inflation rates around. And don't start complaining you don't have enough money, because you brought it upon yourself. -
Their curry puff indeed drop standard le. If the old standard comes back, aha maybe I will eat more often. If not, I still like AMK de. SHIOK!!
Sotong head still nice. Bit oily though.
Just hope the heydays will come back ba... -

This is not called evolution. This is called plain stupidity.
So its your job to help them increase their prices eh? Thanks hor, I hope they will be grateful to you for be such the ever willing party to price increases. You probably are a role model for the govt
So don't complain if your salary don't increase, but inflation increases all around the place.
Thanks to people like you, we have seen inflationary prices never seen before in Singapore because they don't think one step further on this. -
no more... wad for buy something not filling
add 90 cents from the curry puff and u get a macdonald double cheeseburger -
Reheated oil very carcinogenic.Originally posted by Spartans:Firstly I must say I like Old Chang Kee food. Tasty abeit unhealty.
But I notice they have being steady increasing their prices. When there is GST hike, they increased the prices. When there is no GST hike, they also increase their prices. (most of the time by 10cents, 20cents each time)
A curry puff now costs S1.10. When I think about it, the food no long justify the cost. Hence I rarely patronise Old Chang Kee nowadays.
How about u guys? or u all cannot resist the food by Old Chang Kee.
I seldom eat these days.
DEEP FAT FRYERS
DANGERS: These pose a high risk because a deep-fat fryer will give off high EMFs as the oil is heated. Regularly reheated oil is likely to contain carcinogenic compounds generated at the high temperatures, which will then attach themselves to the fried food.
SOLUTIONS: You should avoid deep-fat frying.
RISK RATING: 5

Question:
I have some oil for deep frying -- used only once -- that has been in the refrigerator for eight months. Can I still use it? - Barbara Leonard (4/19/01)
Question:
We use vegetable and canola oil in our home for cooking. I'm disabled and on a very small budget and would appreciate any advice about cleaning the oil for re-use, hopefully to remove sediment, discoloration and odor. Thank you. - Mike and Brenda (11/05/06)

Answers:
I, personally, never reuse cooking oils. The foods you cook the oils in will cause the oils to go rancid faster.
A recent study found that a toxin called 4-hydroxy-trans-2-nonenal (HNE) forms when such oils as canola, corn, soybean and sunflower oils are reheated. Consumption of foods containing HNE from cooking oils has been associated with increased risks of cardiovascular disease, stroke, Parkinson'?s disease, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, various liver disorders, and cancer. Once absorbed in the body, HNE reacts with DNA, RNA and proteins affecting basic cellular processes.
That being said:
Reusing cooking oil has been done for ages. There really isn't a problem, if done properly. The greatest hazard is allowing the fat to become rancid (spoiled) and deteriorated to the point it produces undesirable flavors and odors. Besides ruining what would have been a perfectly good meal, rancid oils also contain free radicals that are potentially carcinogenic. Rancid oil has fewer antioxidants but is not poisonous.
