KIASU TIPS #1 : Tricks for cheaper "Economical Rice"

In Malaysia and Singapore, you may find economical rice being sold at food court or kopi tiam (local coffee shop). Usually they scoop a plate of rice for you and then you choose how many type of dishes you like to top. Then they will charge you based on the varieties of dishes. Though it's economical it can be pricy especially on this financial crisis period.

Usually, the charges for economical rice are like 1 rice 2 other dishes of your choice = RM6 (probably 50cents for rice, then RM2.50 for each dish). Next time, bring a friend along with you. Ask for 2 plates of rice, and you choose only one dish, BUT put more as if for 2 persons. Then ask your friend choose another and do the same. When you ask for the price, usually you may be charged, 50 cents for rice, and RM4 for the dish (since you scooped more).

Then, on the eating table, you start split half of yr dish with your friend. Ta Dah total = RM4.50, and you saved RM1.50. You can bring more friends and you can split equally and you save more too :) Enjoy, chomp chomp chomp!
