I often display completely irrational decision making skills when it comes to food. I would choose a hawker centre over a food court anytime, but rather endure the long months of necessary saving to dine at a restaurant then wait for a month's worth of collected shillings for a night at a cafe.
It seems that I like to swing to either side of the spectrum. And thinking about it, I do have some rational nonsense for my irrationality.
What for pay up to $3 more for food at a food court when you can access a hawker centre? There is something incredibly alluring about the raw and gritty feel of eating wok fried goodness of greasy plates amidst the cacophony and tight squeezes of a noontime crowd that I would not trade for a gust of air conditioning. Blame my typical Singaporean mentality for this!
And, I do think that it is worth the wait to save up for a good meal at a reputable restaurant, then to spend about half the price for a meal at a cafe which probably tastes only a 1/4 as good. Which reminds me, does anybody want to go to Hiroki88@ Dempsey ? Might take me a year to save up, but I do think it'll be worth it!
