When I moved to KL for my study, i literally cooked everyday. I could not even afford to buy nasi campur for an everyday lunch meal. They don't even taste as nice as in my town n for the price, not worth it. So i just made my own dish to college instead. But imagine for a single mother who has to cook everyday while having a minimum wage job, like a thousand and a half ringgit and lives in KL. I cannot imagine how the heck can they afford this. Or they just don't.

1.5k minimum wage? Most hawkers, small restaurants cant even pay their waiters that much these days with the crushing economy. Part-timers, hawkers usually just get 600-900 wage monthly.

I’m actually shocked that the price is quite expensive in Malaysia. Imagine a singaporean is earning SGD2000 and a Malaysian with RM2000… you can get $4 cai png in Singapore but Malaysia one is costing around RM9… Huge different

But generally speaking I'm a Wan Tan Mee kia, rarely eat Cai Png and I really can't tell that is much of a price difference when it comes to SG and JB Wan Tan Mee. Just more or less the same.

despite the mixed rice cost more nowadays, but i think it is still the best choice for our nutrition needs. As all the wantan mee/ chicken rice/ nasi lemak(some are even junk food), which cost around rm6-8 now, why dont we pay rm10 for a balance dietary meal, consist of vege, meat and rice.

[@valuabletips560]

The problem is that when inflation is at 5%, the hawkers raise their price by 10%... The math doesn't add up and hawkers are bracing for "future" inflation

These food trucks are making tons of money.

One think i find it interesting is that, for malay community we never see mix rice as some kind of economical food. When we talk about economical food it mostly referring too instant noodle or just plain roti. We do have something call " nasi bajet" but u cant really choose which dish. Nasi bajet mostly just rice, fried egg, taugeh and soy sauce. The priced also fix which less then RM3 during my study time 2014-2017. Not sure the price for today. Btw good job for the experiment. Would love too see more stuff like this. I subscribe now !

[@qingjap2874]

well errr for the chinese we also called mix rice as economical rice. which was initially the point of view [for the cina's] in the past, economical meal. same thing like char koay teow. it's fried koay teow in chinese but turned out it's wet for malay friends, originates from one culture, over the time mixed in the translation and some culture [as u know msia is mixed culture] and each became their own thing. same concept, but came out different versions not trying to argue who is the founder of mix rice but you get what i mean.

[@ikky_mkb]

Economical rice is barely even economical in this day and age, I’d argue that they’re even less cost efficient than fast food. Now if you go into a mixed rice stall and get anything meat related that isn’t using minced meat, you’re not even getting any meat, you’re basically just gnawing on scraps on bones, and they still charge you what they charge for “meat”. And if you were to really get actual meat, like chicken thighs or breast, you’ll end up doubling your budget, at that point might as well take fast food, at least you get a burger with an actual piece of chicken.

[@duncanlau6782]

Okay hear me out. Try it with different races. My uni mates & I tested this in Kajang. As a Chinese, I was consistently charged RM1- 3 lesser than my Indian & Malay + Omani friends. We tested this at 4 different chap fan stores and unfortunately saw blatant price hike from 3 different stores. We were all very careful & took exactly the same dishes & quantity. Yet, I was always charged cheaper. Although 1 out of the 4 stores were consistent with their pricing for all of us, but similarly to your test. They also had their prices displayed for customers. Lets be honest, It is clear as day what is happening here, despite being charged lesser, I felt sick to my bones that my closest friends were being treated like this. haih.. wat to do. ☹

No shit that shop in KD next to Kayu charges chapfan price dynamically. absolutely dynamic.

[@kayellai5278]

It could be a better survey, if there is a standardisation. After the first person has taken, a photo should be distributed for the rest of the members to see to memories the portion. Some come with office attires, straight from the bed, casual from home and dress to a party. I find out about the portion in certain particular shop, regardless portion is -/+, the price is the same. That means you pay the same price for half a scoop and a full scoop. The next question is how to determine the full scoop or how many pieces to maximise on the price paid for.

[@jeromechin2701]

You guys based in KD eh? Noticed a few vids shot in that area. I don't know the first shop but I used to frequent the second shop when I used to stay around there. Econ rice expensive now. Order a hot bowl of noodles is likely cheaper.

And one more tips.. if you reguarly go to the same shop.. when the boss already recognize you.. you may get some discount.. if can try to get to chit chat with the boss.. built up connection.. lama2.. the boss will give you discount.

[@davehie]

Another reason of the different prices could be the different people who is counting the price. I notice my usual mix rice place, the Aunty always charge more than the young men there.

Nowadays no longer economy rice. It is now named mixed rice because when you pay, you get mixed feelings when eating the rice.

[@AnwarHaikalRuslan]

I've gotten unfair results before when I went out to a mamak with a girl classmate. Hers was RM7, and mine was RM8.90 for the same thing. So I do think some shops really do charge girls less, especially if the one stating the price is a guy. Another case was when I went to some Chinese restaurant along with a Chinese guy and an Indian guy. The Chinese guy got it like RM2 cheaper, and the Indian was charged the most. Since we came late to the restaurant, pretty much all of us took the same lauk. This might not be scientific enough tho, and I think have to do the same test where the restaurant owner is the one scooping all the items for your mixed rice (should be same portion). If still different, idk what to say la.

[@nobodyspecial5342]

The real test is when the same girl go take the same portion but one dressed nicely with makeup vs with just plain clothes and no makeup
