Apparently, the glass of creative juices is still half full.

Raffles place has exorbitant food prices.
A meal costs an average of 5 bucks and here i refer to hawker food+drink. If you're talking about gourmet food(sandwiches,salads,wraps,etc) a meal could cost an average minimum of 7 bucks.
While at work, i was thinking about this and i think about this almost everyday close to lunch time.
How can these people afford to eat out everyday? Well i guess the difference lies in the pay cheque.
Theres me with a minimal intern salary and the rest with decent(or indecently large) salaries.
So, what can we interns do? (and i'm not talking about those with your hot shot internships in some Bank/Financial house)

-Bring your own meal
-Stick to a plate of rice/noodles at Lau Pa Sat and do not even look at those gourmet cafes/restaurants
-Eat fruits( though in Raffles place, even fruits seem overpriced)
-Maybe travel out of raffles place to some hawker centre in pasir panjang( though with traveling cost included you might as well eat in raffles place)
-Last option, starve occasionally,save some extra cash and have a really big meal once in few days

My personal option would be bringing my own meal though i havent been doing that.

Thus, unless you have loads of cash to waste, please dont overspend(except occasional indulgence). This is a lesson for me as well as everyone else working in Raffles Place, who feels that their money seems to be depleting at an exponential rate.
