'Expensive and taste quality drop!' the customer said.
SINGAPORE: A customer took to social media after a stall that sold Chwee Kueh stopped selling a smaller rice cake and came up with an “unorthodox way of increasing price” for the bigger size, making it $0.60 more expensive.
“Just this month they no longer sell small size Chwee Kueh. Big size now priced at $1.20 per pc ,” he wrote, adding, “And still need to buy minimum of 2 pcs. Previously small was $0.80 per pc.”“So the price equivalent is Small for 3 is $1.80. Big for 2 is $2.40. An increase of $0.60.” “Taste is worst off. They are hard and thick unlike the small which is soft and thin. And it is still very oily.”
“Really damn sad.. I always frequent this shop, previously 3 for $1.80 but I cannot finish 3, so I will ask them to just give me 2 pieces. If minimum is 2 pcs now, I won’t be able to finish the 2 pc. Would have liked to be able to only buy 1,” commented another.
