Just the costs of ingredients and labour at today's rates would ensure prices in rural areas keeping up with urban areas, though still cheaper by roughly 20-50%. The argument for the teh o kosong is likely to be similar to that of boiled water ie. based on cost of gas and service. But in the same shop, they could sell hot Chinese tea at 40 sen per glass shows the lack of logic if on this basis.<br /><br />Bruas is a town I have passed through but never once stop for a meal or drink. But my wife remembers having been there for lunch. Wild boar curry was mentioned.<br /><br />Rich, there remain many old shops in small towns all over Malaysia. It is not only the drinks but the overall ambience of a place which modern Kopitiams cannot replicate, not with air-conditioning and high prices!KoSong Cafehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09257859564265735807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18150687.post-10024746935374543172012-07-23T09:03:54.375+08:002012-07-23T09:03:54.375+08:00That is too much for a teh o.

Once I went there to visit a relative and had char kuey tiaw and wantan mee. It was 40 sen each! At that time, it was RM 1.60 in the Klang valley. Similar portion and quality but at that price! Wonder if the great bargains still exists in Bruas.CLYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09618602845542689543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18150687.post-63217508954357705712012-07-22T21:10:05.569+08:002012-07-22T21:10:05.569+08:00I enjoyed this post.

One in Johor served wonderful sambal mian bao along with the tea. Another in Kota tinggi had wonderful small cups of coffee and looked as though it had been there since time began!Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18167211591164035627noreply@blogger.com
