A bowl of wan tan mee, with soup and chopped green chilies.

Average price for a wan tan mee is now RM3.80.

2 years back, a friend who started out her wan tan mee stall together with her husband started selling their hand-made noodles at RM2.70.

Almost 40% increment, in 2 years.

Back in 1993, the stalls alongside Lian Seng Garden’s main road, Ah Sau (???) is only selling it for RM1, with almost the same ingredients.

Almost 380% increment in 15 years, about 25% increment every year.

Government continues to tell her people inflation is at 8.5%.
