the seller may overcharge the prices. i am sure everyone here who eats economical rice tend to be overcharged many a time. I was once charged 6 dollars for 3 meats sia lol.

Exactly. I can order the same sides on 2 consecutive days and they charge different prices.

can we challenge or ask the seller how come the price differentiates? if the buyer say, I refuse to pay for overcharging, how will the seller react, esp when there are many people queuing behind.

I usually wun ask, because since it's like 20 to 30 cents difference, I will just let them earn. At worse I dun patronise their stall. But the bottomline that we, as consumers, have the basic right to ask.

if its a 50 cents difference, I usually dun ask. but what if the price differential is 1-2 dollars more?
I mean I can afford to pay, but I dun wish to be a carrot for the chopping, or they take me for a ride.

Wah... $1 to $2 more is like extortion to me... I have not encountered that. Well, that dissatisfaction might spur me to ask right at their face then.

I kena $5.70 for vegetarian beehoon with 2 sides.
Terrible.

Come to think of it, a raw fish also costs from $5.
A cooked one cost maybe at most $4.
Hence, sometimes I just buy the cooked fish home.
At home cook some rice and u are ready to eat.
Convenient without the hassle of cooking...
