I was wrong. I had complained about steamed rice being the equivalent of S$4.80 a bowl at a Jap restaurant (see story) and swore that we will not order it from that place any more, but we were hit by S$4.80 rice again.
Last friday, we had lunch with a group of Singaporeans at Radisson in Deira. I finally received an education on how steamed rice is charged here. In fact, S$4.80 is the cheapest. It can go all the way to S$8.00.
Next time, we would have to "ta-pau" back and cook our own rice.

What's their staple food over there? Some wheat based bread perhaps? Maybe trying to consume more of their staple will keep the costs down ... But it does take time to get used to a foreign food.
I strongly encourage you to BYOR - Bring your own rice!
