I went out for a simple Nyonya & Portuguese lunch at Hot & Spicy Restaurant with my company’s supplier just now. She got a surprise when the bill adds up to RM45.80. She gave the cashier RM50 and told her to keep the change. After the cashier left, she looks at me and says, “Sooooo cheap!”
I was like “Huh? Cheap? Expensive what?” According to her this very cheap compared to KL. The same food that we ate will easily cost RM80 in KL. Ok, that’s cheap. No wonder our pay is so little here, can’t even afford for a stay in hotels Las Vegas.

Yes, Malacca’s food is known to be cheaper. My dad used to work in Malacca and he would go on about how cheap the food is. We love the chicken rice balls.
