One young hawker has pledged free meals, no questions asked; while a chicken rice seller is selling at below-cost, or giving away free to the ...
Tanjong Pagar Plaza’s House of Chicken Rice has seen long queues since Apr 3, after owner Khoo Leng How announced that he’d be selling chicken rice at S$0.90 a packet – below cost price. One usually goes for S$4.50.
After Khoo’s Facebook post went up, about 50 customers showed up, most of them elderly folk residing nearby. Prepared for this, he’d laid out markers to ensure they stood the required metre apart. At the counter, a bucket was placed for patrons to leave payment – and some have continued to pay the usual S$4.50, which Khoo is thankful for.But there were also opportunistic customers who asked for 10, even 20 packets of chicken rice. So Khoo now limits each person to three packets; and meanwhile, those aged 55 and above can eat for free.
