Gelato First, Thai Feast Later: My Orchard Road Food Stop

Friday The 13th at Orchard My husband and I were in the Orchard area for The Friends Experience at the Fever Exhibition Hall, and instead of eating first, we decided to enjoy the experience before thinking about food. After the exhibition, the warm evening left us a little thirsty, so we looked for something refreshing nearby. That’s when we spotted Gelatissimo , a small kiosk just outside Shaw House. We grabbed a couple of scoops of gelato and enjoyed them at the al-fresco seating while people-watching along the always lively Orchard Road. After that, we took a leisure walk through ION Orchard before making our way to Far East Plaza, where we ended the evening with a comforting Thai dinner at Nana Original Thai Food Restaurant in the basement. Gelatissimo outside Shaw House First Stop: Gelatissimo Our first food stop was at Gelatissimo, where we decided to share two scoops of gelato as a refreshing treat after the exhibition. We picked a mix of Dragonfruit Sorbet and Raspberry Gelat...

Price Sensitive

So the canteen at my workplace has  a not very dramatic change.

But the food price increased by 10cts to probably up to 50cts since Monday 2 June 2014, if I'm not wrong. Not a lot but being a miser, I feel the pinch. Pardon me for that.

Ban Mian
A decent bowl of Ban Mian. 
Usual price: $2.20  
Now: $2.50  
Difference: $0.30

Still cheaper than outside though. In this bowl, I added extra vegetables so 50cts more. 

Beehoon w 1 side
A decent plate of beehoon with 1 side (hashbrown).
Usual price: $0.85
Now: $1.10
Difference: $0.25
Portion is still generous. Taste still remains.


I wonder how much for this plate of Mixed Rice & Vegetables from the Indian stall. But then the pricing is the same across the board if price increase. 

Quite sad. Though you may think this is nothing compare to those outside food court/hawker centre. But then to me, it has been removed from my list of cheapest food place.

Okay lah. I shall stop whining over this. So absurd right? K I shut!

Add: Okay lah... I heard that they haven't been increasing the price at the canteens across the campus for 7 years. That's long. Really better than outside where they anyhow increase price as they like. So I shall stop whining over it. GET OVER IT STELLA!
