dinner up north

everyone says dinner up north is cheap and good, so i went with my family to try the food. how cheap is cheap for food up north? well, at a particular hawker centre near to pelangi in johor, called Taman something (forgot the actual name but chinese is 大马花园), a small plate of oyster egg, better known as 蠔煎,is available for only RM5. how much food can you get with S$50 then? for that amount, we had 2 chili crabs, one hot plate tofu, one medium serving of deep cereal fried prawn, one medium serving of vegetable fried in chili (i forgot the vegetable except it ain't leafy), one medium serving of shellfish (also known as "lala" in singapore), 3 plates of white rice, one small serving of fried egg oyster, 2 glasses of sugarcane juice and 2 glasses of fruit juice. the amount above can feed 4 to 5 people comfortably. to top it off, the food is comparable if not beter than what is served up in our own hawker centre.
