I had a farewell lunch at Jade Restaurant @ The Fullerton today. It cost $68+++ a head, and was a 6-course meal. That means each course is about $11+++, and each bite is about $2+++!!!
Each bite can buy you one plate of chicken rice!
Sure puts things in perspective, eh?
But I must say, the quality of the food is EXCELLENT. Every bite was bursting with flavour, and it says a lot when the restaurant is PACKED during lunchtime, DESPITE the price of the meals. In fact, I was told it'd be hard to get a place there if it wasn't reserved in advance...
How much would Singaporeans, or anyone in general, pay for good food?
Definitely not meant to be part of a regular lifestyle, but for one-offs...
Definitely good stuff.
Well, tomorrow's my last day at GE Money before I move on to my new rotation next week. Mixed feelings. I've just grown comfortable in my role here, with the people I've been working with too, but I'm definitely looking forward to the stretch that the new role will provide, though I suspect I'll be spending some of my CNY poring over reports in my office laptop...
Well, just give me a cup of coffee, and I'll be ready for almost anything :)
Thank GOD for Kopi!!!
