Is Inflation Hitting Penang Street Food ?

This post is intended to get some feedback from Foodie's fans living in Penang.

Recent visit to a chicken rice stall at Macalister Road :

Sin Nam Huat Roasted Chicken & Duck Rice

took me by surprise.

With the intention of a quick late lunch, I decided to have Chicken Rice - Drum Stick (just the drum side was served not inclusive of the thigh) with a small rice.

Guess how much ?  RM 4.60

Is it expensive or Is this reasonable ?

Down the road just round the corner, there is another stall selling chicken rice - whole drumstick (drum plus thigh) with rice and some spare parts (chicken heart and gizzard) ...

Guess how much ? RM 5.50

Why the difference ?

Any takers for this ?

  1. wow... i think i will choose the second stall which cost RM 5.50. The first stall is kind of expensive.
