We have been having home cooked meal for most of the time in these few years. Occasionally we will have packed food from nearby restaurant which cost a little. If one has opted to dine out, it would cost a family of 4 around RM30-40. That was few years ago. Unfortunately, things changed. The value of Ringgit has depreciated much since last year. We just had Bak Kut Teh for dinner last night. We had a two-pax portion. The price came in at RM50. I was surprised with the cost. Because I think the cost will be much more cheaper in Klang for two pax. Because if we have simple "big fry", it won't cost that much. Even if we go to a decent restaurant for nasi lemak, it won't cost that much either. Perhaps Bak Kut Teh is really an expensive meal? Probably that Bak Kut Teh stall should be blacklisted from my dinning list? Anyway, there was a survey on the purchasing power conducted by a local media recently. The value of RM50 has shrunk. Food is not as cheap as it used to be.

By the way, in my neighborhood, "road side" burger stall is a common view. The usual operation time is around 7pm onwards. Lately a stall in my area has started its business from 6pm, where the sky is still bright. Money not enough?
