I think hawkers should not raise price and have the same portion of meal. Because when the prices of meal rises, some poor people won't be able to buy food to eat and if they can't buy food to eat, their lives will be more difficult. And if the portion get smaller, we will waist money to buy more meal to eat. So i prefer it to remain the same both portion and prices of food and it is also better to remain the same because people don't need to walk about alot of time just to get bigger portion.
Yes, Hawkers should raise prices and serve better meals because everything is still the same, small portions comes with paying little money and big portions come with paying more money. everything is still the same and i say getting big portions because maybe later if you want somemore and you got a small portion you have to walk back there and get another bowl it just seems like so much work.
I think they should keep the same prices and give a small portion with a half empty stomach.But change the portion of the food to bigger portion.We should leave the the same prices even if we are hungry just buy the small portion then the big one.Eating the small portion does not mean that its not enought only buy the prices that is high and better food if we are hungry.
hi, i am alicia,i wonder how can such floods be prevented?By preventing such floods we have to stop littering so the litter will not block the drain and there will be no big floods if we still continue to litter there will be even bigger floods then all those dirty things will flow out of a smelly and dirty dustbin and also most concerned abot me is that sometimes drunk people has a soul mood and also when they drink too much beer they mind will go crazy so they will start breaking the glass bottle which is use to contain beer.Then one they if floods come people will accidentelly step on thebroken part and maybe they can have a very deep cut that they need to go hospital and go take pot the glass and it is real painfull i should say very painfull that you will scream ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Hawkers should raise prices and serve better meals because the food will be nice and people will like it.When it is expensive the food may be nicer.When the food is cheaper it may be not really nice.If the food is not nice people may not be coming to the shop.Sometimes if we pay more the hawkers will give us lesser food.If the food is nice people will come but if the food is not nice people will not come.Sometimes if hawkers give smaller portions when people pay more because they want to earn money.
i think hawkers should raise prices and serve better meal because if we eat to little portion of food,u will get hungry again.people will also not come to your stall and u will not make much money.so if u make the food more expensive and the portion bigger,people will like it and they will come again.but if the food is not nice,people will not like and they will not come.Sometimes,if u pay more for the portion of food,hawker will give u lesser portion of food so they can earn more money.
Yes,hawers raise prices and serve better meals.If the hawkers raise the price and give smaller portions is not worth.And if they sell fresh fish,meat and seafoods.If the anything turn bad they should not sell.And they shoould give us more vegtable and meat then is worth.
I choose to raise price and serve better meals because the better the food taste the more money they should get.Ones the people try the food they thick its delicous and they will tell their friends
to try it and so on and so on.The more custermers that come the more money they will get.
I think hawkers should raise prices and serve better meals because when hawkers keep the prices the same and the portion smaller,people will buy one portion if they don't get full they will have to buy another portion.Its like buying two packets but not getting full.When hawkers raise price and serve better meals,people will still buy because the food is delicious and you will at least get full.
i think that they should keep prices the same but give smaller portions.this is because when the children eats the food sometime they did not finish the food.all over the world thousand of food are waste.some village are so poor that they are starving tom death.so i prefer to eat less and pay less.
I don't think we should serve better meals because if some young fellows which means young people do not finish the food it will be such a waste and the vegetable took some overseas farmers to grow them for at least 1 or 2 years time to grow them they work so hard working everyday under the sun some farmers are 60 over years old and they still work so hard for their survival they also have to transfer the crops they grow to sell it to overseas we got pork from overseas strawberry jam from overseas and also some other vegetable which is so hard to grow never mind if our stomach is half fill only we should not waste food too .Now a days some young fellows don't care they waste food anot they just do whatever they want some are even more unreasonable they only ate half plate/bowl of rice that's why i support to keep the prices the same but keep the portions smaller
Hawkers should raise prices and serve better meals because you can eat better food.Money is not a matter to you as long as the food is good.You will say that it is expensive but the food is nice,so,you deserve to give them money!Eventhough hawkers is against in raising prices and serving better food,we should not complain!You should be grateful to the hawkers for food!Imagine,if you eat nothing for days,will you die?So,you have to be grateful to them!Hawkers need money to surpport their family and buy the ingredients for you!you gave them money for food!This is a win-to-win situation.There is no free launch in the world,so,do cherish it!!! ^__^
I strongly agree with you,Alicia.You are right that the farmers work very hard for us.Farmers that are 60 over years old are not retired yet.I do pity them though.And we should not waste food!
I think hawkers should raise prices and serve better meals because a restraunt serve more portion and better food but a whole diffrent level on money.A hawkers should also give more food because two meat and one vegtable is not good enough to star working again.They should also put in more rice or a fried rice.Even if a meat portion is bad maybe the fish price could go down a bit and give more fish.
yes hawkers should raise prices and serve better meal because people also need food to survive and children has to eat alot to grow fast if they pay same and get lesser portions children who are small have to eat a lot and grow so i prefer the more expensive one as long as i am healty.and if you eat less and less everyday you will get sick and you will get thinner and thinner until your clothes is to big for you and you will be very unhealthy.maybe if you eat less and eat more fruits than you will also be healthy.
I think that if they give lesser portion and the prices the same is good because if people only can eat very little they can finish the food and if people can eat alot they can buy another meal.The people who eat lesser food can finish the Hawkers less portion they will be full when they eat finish the less portion.The hawker just want to get more profits.
Hawkers should keep prices the same but give smaller portions because I think people want to save money to pay their taxes.For novice officers,they want to change more as they are still not familiar with it.Those working adults who are on budget would want to lower the prices.If we pick the speciality foods,we will have to pay higher prices such foods like snow fish and herbal chicken.Mysterious alchemy are also working on the portions too and shinking them.The hawkers will usualy buy cheaper rice to serve to customers.Even the water,electricity,oil and fuel bills are also going up but we cannot blame the hawkers.When people buy meat,it will cost more than vegetables.The worse thing is that when price trickles down,a plate of economical rice is going up.When we go to NTUC and Shop'n Save, you will see that the soaps and shampoos are going up.In the olden days,a plate cost very cheap like 30 cents.If you do not believe this,you can ask your parents ot see if the prices has gone up.

I strongly agree with you ,Millen.
Hawkers should really give bigger portions and serve better food because if they serve normal food,regulars will be bored of them.
I agree with alicia ong because she cares about people and she always don't want to waste food
i agree with alicia ong because she cares about people and does not like to waste food.she also cares about the farmer who plants the vegetables so i think she is a very kind person.
The hawker should increase the prices and serve better food.The food they used to serve are in small portion.People won't buy if the price is high but the portion is small.If the hawker would like to increase price of the food the must serve better food and in bigger portion.public people usually like cfood in big portion.
hawkers should raise prices and serve better meals because that way people can eat better and they don't have to leave with a half empty stomach.if they raise prices they can get even more money to buy cooking ingredients so they can give bigger portions of food.if they still give smaller portions,they give you more vegetables because its cheap and lesser meat because it's more expensive and if you want more meat they charge you more money.so it's better to raise prices and serve you better meals and bigger portions of food,you don't have to leave with an empty stomach.you will fill your stomach instead of having a half empty stomach.
I think hawker should raise price and serve better meal because if you have better meal(example:good quality food)it will eventually be expensive but if you choose to have the same price and smaller portion you might as well stay in the past.
i Agree with jane because she says that when childrens eats the food sometimes did not finished the food. and i find it true
I think hawkers stall should increase prices.It is because if you get a smaller portion and pay the same price you might as well dont eat at all.So i thing they should increase the prices and serve better meals.
I am Jeanette,the hawkers should raise prices and serve better meals. It is because when the hawkers raise better prices,we give more money. When they serve better meal, we eat more. If we pay up for more food,or save more and leave with a half-empty stomach. We,humans,must not leave our own stomach empty. We should eat our food to full one. Not half-empty orstomach empty. Humans should eat a whole plate of rice,noodles,bee hoon and porridge. We should not leave any rice behind,human must eat FULL ONE!
I think hawkers should raise prices and serve better meals.Raising prices can let the hawkes earn more money and better is more healthy .Serving more vegetables and less meat can also save more money.It is also a good thing that we could eat more vegetables.Eating more vegetables is a very healthy choice.so that is why i support hawkers raising prices and serving better meals instead of keeping prices the same but give smaller portions.
Yes,hawkers should raise prices and serve better meals because if they do that,we can eat better meals.Sometimes,we cannot blame them if they gives us smaller amount of food because the prices of the food has grown up to higher prices.We should not complain when the food is not nice.And we should not waste food too as food is expensive!!!-_-
I think Dylan's comment is a very good one. He has sad that hawkers should raise prices. His opinion is the same as mine. He has written a very good comment.
Yes,I agree with you Vanessa,hawkers need money to support their family.
I agree with kelly's comment. Her opinion is for hawkers to raise prices. I really like her comment. I agree with her opinion.
I agree with Garveens opinion he has told us that hawkers should raise prices. His reason is because if the prices are raised, the food will taste better. He has written a very good comment.
I really like Vanessa's comment her opinion is for hawkers to raise prices. It is because we can eat better food and money is not a matter. She has written wondderful comment.
I think they should raise prices and serve better meals as I am fond of it.
i agree with vanessa's comment raising prices is not a problem we can eat food better.
I like tricia's comment. Her opinion is to keep prices higher, she is trying to tell us that if prices are higher we can get better food. I agree with her opinion. She has written a very good comment.
I like Jenelll's comment. she is trying to tell us that hawkers should raise prices. I agree with her opinion. She has written a very good comment.
Hawkers should raise prices. They should raise prices because we can get better meals. Another reason why they should raise prices is because hawkers need money to support themselves. Hawkers also need money to support their families. I hope hawkers will raise prices. We also need good food to give us energy for the day. If prices are low hawkers will get less money and we will get lesser food. We must always get get what is better for us. Prices should not be low because we will get lesser food and hawkers will get lesser money. There should always be higher prices. It is very important that prices are higher. I hope people will get better meals and hawkers will have enough money to support their families.
I would say raising the price and serve better meals .I said that because people needs food to eat in order to live.I said that is also because if price gone up and the meal portions is more,it will be fair.If price remain the same but smaller portion,it will not be fairand we will eat less.Food will be less and we will need to buy another meal to be full.The price will be higher if we buy 2 food,1 food with more portions will make us full and the price will be lesser than 2 food.

I think that hawkers should raise prices & serve better meals rather than doing the opposite way of raising prices & serving fewer meals. Some people may think that the hawkers may be cheating you of your money,some people may think that it is okay because they want to be very thin, so even if they order the chicken rice and paid about $2.50, & the hawker gave them a plate of chicken & some cucumbers, they would still be happy. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you my favourite food is a nice warm plate of Chicken Rice.But recently, the stallholder at bukit panjang hawker center raised the price $3.00 & I only had six pieces instead of ten pieces at $2.00.
I support raising the price sand serving better meals because in my life money is not imbortant but food is more important so i have to stay healthy and strong and to do that i have to eat better meals than smaller portions of food,and I also do not like eating small portions because it makes me more hungrier in a short while of time,it is also unhealthy for your body because little calciums and nutrients go to your body.In Singapore I have been seeing people very thin and also some unhealthy peoples,I should advice them to eat more and stay healthy and exercise regularly.In Singapore I also do have a lot of favourite food like:chicken rice,nasi lemak,maggie noodle soup and also laksa:).

I think hawkers should continue to serve food the same way.They are maybe cheating our money but they are still promoting healthy eating.We can stay fit and healthy still as we will eat more vegetables and less meat.It also helps us to mantain our weight and not loose or gain weight.As you see they are not only promoting health eating but they are also helping us to stay fit.We should not think in a way that they are cheating us but they are actually helping us .They are doing a big help for us.
In my opinion, it's a yes and no. Yes, because I want to be slim and not fat so less meat and more vegetables is alright for me. No. because we paid money mostly for the meat but the hawkers gives us more vegetables instead and it's like they are cheating our money. Hawkers should give equal portion of meat and vegetables unless the customer request on what they want more or less. That is a way to prevent more complaints from the customers.

I think when hawkers give better meals,it is reasonable to raise prices.But when they keep prices the same,why do they still need to give smaller portions as they should not change anything.But i think that we should make all the food remain the same it would be better.Sometimespeople might be starving so they think that smaller portions are not enough but if they give more people might not finish it up.So it is best to leave it the same or it is not enough they can buy another food or a desert to not keep them hungry.

My favourite food is ladsa.I like it because it is delicious,tasty and very revolting.It also has a lot of vitamins.The hawkers should give what we ask for because they will cheat money from custemers.The people should eat more meals if they ask for.Eating is very good and if you eat or see anything you do not like,try it beforeyou say "I don't like it and i do not want to eat any more ever"!
yes.I think hawkers should give more vegetables and less meat.If we eat more meat the rate of poopulation of meat will decrease and we will not have much animals left.Some people think giving more vegetables increase the price of some food.Now,beause of economic crisis prices have gone up.If we buy more4 poultry,there will be lesser animals.My favorite food is chicken rice because it taste very delicious,i also think that eating chicken and poultry is good because it can make your body strong.
i think that it is a bad thing because the hawkers should serve the customer what they want.if the customer ask for more meat they should give more meat but if the customer ask for more vegetables they should give more vegetables.they may increase the price if they want this is their choice.every hawker should have ggod customer service.if they have good customer service they might have more buissness but if they do not have good customer service they might have lesser buissness.it is important to ask the customer what they want and you cannot just put more vegetables or meat by yourself and even worst if you increase the price that will be cheating the customer.

I think that hawkers should raise prices and serve better food,because food is important for our health.If people is hungry and they buy something to eat but the food is very little and it can keep the person full.The person will have to buy something to eat again,and they will have to spend more money.That is why i think hawkers should raise price and serve better food.

Nowadays , the shpokeepers add more vegetables than meat,for example the chicken rice the y add a dollar for putting more cucumbers and,I think they shouls put the type of vegetables the customer wants ,if they do not want any of the vegetables then the shopkeepers would just put more cucumbers.
My favourite food is the yong tau fu in Chinatown(In Singapore) maybe you would not know what is that as the name of the food is in Chinese.Everytime I go to my mother's office in Chinatown,I would eat yong tau fu at 12pm?12noon the queue for that stall would be very long as many people's favourite too.
Everytime I had to wait for half an hour just for eating the yong tau fu as it is famous for something even me myself do not know too!!The tomato sauce you try is actually a little sour but not sweet right in Chinatown ,the yong tau fu tomato sauce is sweet.You should try it too!!!!
But I have to tell you ,if you want to eat the yong tau fu in Chinatown go and eat it before 12noon and I think about 3pm to 5pm the shop would close and do not go there to early too!
i would say both of it because some people likes better meals and some people like when it is a smaller portion as they cannot eat too much. Alot of people likes it when its cheaper. But if that person is a millionare for example, he or she wouldn't mind if it is expensive. Sometimes, when the shop food looks good, people would want to buy and taste the food. Some hawkers food look clean but it is actually dirty. people might get stomach ache, vomiting and fall ill.If they give smaller portions and the same price, many people would start a arguement with the hawkers. So it is better not to give too less meal for the people.

I think hawker centre should serve less meat and more vegetables because we need to kill a lot of animals for food .If we eat deers' meat ,wolves may die as their prey is deer when there is very little wolves tiger or lion may extinct because wolves are their prey.When animals always extinct our next genaration may not be able to see many animals. We should olso eat more vegetables sa they provides water and vitamin. They are much healthier than meat.Vegatables will not extinct or became lesser, we can also plant more plant if ew want to.
Rice was the most staple economical food for most of the population of Singapore.We used to pay reasonable price for a plate of comes with good amount of meat and vegetables.everyone used to have satisfactory lunch and dinner for reasonable price.due to reccent price hikes for rice,cooking oil meat.and hawkers took this opportunity to increase the price of a plate of meat.I do not support such sharp increase in price with more petite protions.Most hawkers exploit the opportunity to increase price with smaller servings,lower grade or rice but keeping higher profit margins.Knowing the slppage in our average income such acts by the hawkers are most unfortunate for many young adults.My favourite foods are chicken rice,pancakes,satay,sushi and many other kinds.I have many favourite foods.

Hawkers should raise prices and serve better meals. It is because with better meals and more nutrition can help us complete our daily goals easier. If hawkers keep prices the same but give smaller portions, we might not get enough of the nutrition we need for the day and it would be harder for us to focus on what the teacher is teaching in class as we will feel very hungry. However, if hawkers do raise prices ,they sould provide good quailty food and not increase their profit margins. This way ,they can keep their regular cstemers happy.
My favourite food is prawn noodles. What I like about prawn noodles is the spicy soup.

I think hawkers should raise prices and serve better meals.I prefer to have larger meals because we better pay higher prices and have our stomachs full.I can get my moneys worth there.It will also producemore salary to the hawker stall owner.We'd rather have a full stomach and pay more.It is important that hawkers stall owners provide better food for customers,even if the hawkers should raise prices for it.Therefore I think hawkers should raise prices and serve better meals.
At my stand,i think that hawkers should raise price and serve better meal.But i think there iiss both good and bad things about raising the price but serve better food and keeping the price same but give smaller portion.One thing is that the price keep incresing but the food keep decresing.I think for the poor people,keeping the price the same but give lesser food to them is alright to them as long as they get to eat.Even if the is less.As for the rich people,
they will think that they have the money,so why must i eat lesser food
when they have the money?

I think hawkers should raise prices and serve better meals because everyday,we need a healthy meal.Sometimes people might get very hungry and the hawkers serve less portions of the of the meal.We need to be nutritious so that we can stay healthy.I think serving small portions of food is bad.So i think serving better meals and raising prices of the food is better.

I think the hawkers should rise prices and serve better meals as eating is more important than than money.I am a vegetarianso I would choose to have more vegetables.For starters,novice office workers might be hard pressed to find the quality nutration that their $3.20 typically used to buy because that packet of rice with two meats and one vegetable isn not what it once was.I would advice that the goverment should encourage hawkers to sell their food at alower pice so that those who earn less money would not go bankrupt and staf.
I think poeple should eat healthier food so that poeple in Singapore can be healthier. I would like to tell you something and the secret is I that I hate vegetables! I rather prefer fruits. I know that vegetables are good for health, but I have a very bitter feeling when I eat vegetables.But I think I would advice you to be healthy.
I suggest that hawker should keep money but give smaller portions because they will be cheating your money. the main food there is the chicken but if you take less chicken must well just make a new dish called cucumber rice and why must they higher the price if they put more cucumber?
I think they neither raise prices or keep the prices the same but give a smaller portion because raising price and serve better meal is like fuel,you pump fuel into car then the fuel will eventually raise and I feel that it is unfair. Some people like my mum think raising the prices and serve better meal is okay because in life,we must sacrifice something to get good quality.For other people like my grandpa think that keep the pricethe same but give a smaller portion is alright as he thinks some people prefer a small amount and I do agree but all the other people is alright to pay more money as long as they get quality food
I think hawkers should raise prices and serve better meals,because keeping the prices and giving smaaler portions,that is considered cheating to the customers.Likewise,it is not honest to the customers.Meat is expensive than vegetables,so hawkers need to sell less meat and more vegetables to earn higher price by high quantity.Chung Teik Lim,4 grace.
The hawker centre don't need to raise the money .It's because peoples who are poor could not afford the cost of the food .This can make peoople stop eating .Food should be cooked properly .Egg is half boiled ,fish is half cooked and also when we take away any curry ,the amount of meat is less than eating at the hawker centre .For this do we need pay more like three dollars and more .I'm angry with the hawker centre for giving less veggie but more meat and also charge more money .This is not fair .Everybody give more money but get less rice and less veggies .So I decide to tell them to put more rice and more veggies to equal the amount of money .
I think hawkers should not raise prices and not give smaller portions of foods like singaporens favourite foods like chicken rice,roti prata and more.Thats reason 1.Reason 2 is because if a poor person can have just enough food a day and just enough monney per day,the problem is that if the poor person has not eaten for a long time,then he or she will be still hungry.But even if the serving is still the same but prices increse,the poor will not have enough monney.That is my reason why they should do none of these ideas.

Hawkers should not raise prices and serve better meals.They also should give the customers bigger portions.The hawkers are cheating on money.Hawkers use other ways to thicken their profit margins.In addition to using lower grades of rice or serving meals on smaller plates,we'll find more petite portions too.New rules put fish and chicken in the same price range,although both were previously different.This mysterious alchemy is working on portion sizes too,srhinking them by at least a third.My favourite food is 'nasi lemak'.I always buy them at Bukit Batok.Before, it was $1.20,but now it is $3.I wanted to buy a big portion of it but I wanted to save my money,so I bought the smaller portion.From now on,I won't be fooled again.
The people in the hawker centre give more vegetables then meat.You pay the money before you eat the food.But in return,you get more vegetabels than meat.Some people said:"They cheated my money!"I would rather be thankful to them.
Meat is high in cholestrol. Vegetables are healthy.It is also in the food pyramid.Vegetables is also good for your health and body. It will not make you sick. Vegetables also give you enough energy to play too!But meat is unhelthy for you.You can eat meat, but not too much.It can cause high blood preasure too.So please do not eat too much meat.
I think the hawkers should give more vegetables than meat, because meat is high in fat, and low in fat, and low in vitamins, and if somebody ate to much meat, they may fall sick and even die of a disease, another reason is that vegetables is healthy and is less probably to fall sick and die of a infection, bur if someone goes to the hawker and says to have more meat than vegetables, the hawker should ay that if you have more meat than vegetables, you may have a higher chance to fall sick, and die of and infections, and the person will not deny and have more vegetables than meat.
I think hawkers should raise the prices and serve better meals. As long as the price is reasonable and the meals are delicious, i don't think customers would mind.

They should not raise the prices as it is not fair to raise the prices and give smaller portions
Hawkers should raise prices and serve better meals as it is the best option compared to keeping prices the same but give smaller portions.If hawkers raise prices and serve better meals they will still earn profit as more people will buy from their stalls.And they rising prices of rice, oil, meat and other things would not affect them at a big amount. If hawkers lower their grands of food, we will have less nutrition.That is why hawkers should raise prices and serve better meals.
Hawkers shoould raise the prices and serve better food beacuase if the food's quality is low, it might cause infections or other deadly(or minor)diseases.Another reason is that bigger portions give me more energy for the day while the smaller portion doesn't give as much. Bigger portions with higher qualities are richer in nutrition as they contain more meat, vegetable or any other healthy ingredients.The hawkers will also benefit from it as they will get to earn more profit and more people will come to their stall to enjoy the high quality food. Low quality food is also wasting my money as i am spending money on lousy food. The price should not be a problem as most Singaporeans can afford their lunch.
