Diners looking for a taste of Michelin-recommended char kway teow at Zion Road Hawker Centre might have to shell out a bit more as No. 18 Zion Road Fried Kway Teow removes its $5 option.
Posted on 18 September 2024 11:37 am | 13 views | 0 commentsHaving served up his signature dish at the same hawker centre since 2000, Mr Ho even had the honour of catering for Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong's inauguration dinner in 2004. His stall was also featured in the Michelin Bib Gourmand list in both 2022 and 2023.
“Our food prices haven’t actually increased. The last time we raised prices was several years ago. Now, with GST at 9 per cent, it's really impossible to make a profit with the $5 option, so we decided to stop selling it." His wife shared that profits are slim after factoring in ingredient costs, utilities, and rent. She noted that customers have been understanding about the price adjustments, with no noticeable dip in patronage.
