  S$4.00 - 1 chicken - 13 plates = bigger portion? or boneless chicken.

  how big or small each chicken? what average weight of each chicken?

  water / electricity? S$700 vs S$1,900.00? different so much? water/electricity = SP services, unlike gas has few other provider, which can different in gas price.

  selling 20 -30 chicken per day can get average S$2,000.00 per month

  selling 60 - 90 chicken per can only received S$1,300.00 per month.

  work more pay less

  Haiya, one seller could be cooking the chickens himself. The other bought from wholesaler. Hence the difference in the bills.

  The information is a bit vague. To sample the $1.30 chicken rice, public transport should be provided for those who live far away and can't afford the bus fare.

  i think that the statisticians purposely show only those stalls selling $2.50 food.

  the coffee shop near my house, minimum price starts from $3...

  maybe at hawker center then you can see $2.50, if u are lucky. but since they stop constructing wet market, how many people actually live close to a hawker center?

  anyway i think only those poor and average Singapore will even bother to kpkb about all these. those rich ones are in charge of doing surveys such as "Cooked food dishes being sold for S$2.50 and below" and then giving themselves a pat in the back for doing such a good job.
