SINGAPORE: One bid for a stall at Dunman Food Centre has reached an eye-watering $6,929, according to recent reports.
The bid, which is one of five, was made by a man who already has two drinks stalls and plans on launching a third one. He is also the son of another hawker who runs a stall at the food centre, which is located at 271 Onan Road.
“If we set our prices too high, customers will walk away after asking for our prices,” the hawker added. The changes are meant to deter overly high tender bids, with NEA staggering the downward adjustment of tendered stall rentals over a longer period. food guru and Makansutra founder Kf Seetoh pointed out, however, that “hawkers also have the same cost of living as the rest of us”
