“... is now selling $1.20 per piece, up from $0.60 previously... They also do not sell plastic containers anymore, which customers used to pay..." the customer explained

SINGAPORE: A Facebook user took to social media to air not just one but two complaints about the Chwee Kueh she bought at a Bedok stall, as she was unhappy about the rice cake’s pricing and packaging.

“Bedok Chwee Kueh at Bedok Interchange is now selling $1.20 per piece, up from $0.60 previously. It is supposedly a combination of 2 smaller portions. They also do not sell plastic containers anymore, which customers used to pay. The kueh can only be wrapped in brown paper.

By the time one reaches home, they have been broken into pieces. The broken pieces look messy and hard to eat,” wrote a Ms Sen LY on the COMPLAINT SINGAPORE Facebook page on Thursday evening (May 25).

The stall where the netizen bought the popular traditional Teochew breakfast treat is no ordinary stall, being the first to be listed in the Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2019.

Bedok Chwee Kueh is regularly listed among Singapore’s best places to get Chwee Kueh.

Some months ago, however, the size and, therefore, the price of the Chwee Kueh offered at the store doubled to reduce the number of bowls used in preparing the treat due to the manpower crunch.

Mr Chen Ai Min, who owns the business, was quoted in mustsharenews last January as saying that after four months of careful thought, he decided to change the size of the Chwee Kueh and spent tens of thousands of dollars for the bigger bowls needed in preparing the treat.

Commenters on Ms Sen LY’s post, however, said they found the Chwee Kueh to be quite pricey.
