A plate of egg chicken friend rice and a cup of coke=5.05 pounds?oh gosh i am quite surprised of the price as in that amount of money, i can have foods for three days or even a week. It is just a simple meal where they put some egg in the rice,small pieces of chicken and beans,it tasted like kdu cafetaria' fried rice where they put alot of ajinomoto into the food. A plate of fried rice in malaysia is only about rm 4 and in rupiah,the most expensive is about rp10000 with all seafoods on it. Comparing the price of a fried rice in either msia or indonesia to UK, it is totally different, if we are converting the money to ringgit,the price of that rice would be rm 35 and in rupiah is about rp100000,where i can have 10 plates of nice fried rice, or even i can go to eat in luxury cafe or restaurant.
It seems that westerner foods are cheaper than chinese or oriental foods.I can get KFC,MCDonald,subway,Miss Millies, each of it less than 4 pounds and that is include drinks.On the other hand for the asian foods, it costs so much.It is rather to cook by myself than having such simple expensive food.It is worth it if the food is nice,like the one that i ate in London (italian foods) which cost about 19 pounds but that is almost a complete course
