thoughts:price,quality, and quantity on food.

kam tze, if your reading this, this is something similar to your quantity or quality post.

i wanna talk about the quantity over quality in terms of food. here's the thing, [note:i'm speaking from a pretty general perspective] i'm sure everyone knows that high class places like maybe some restaurant in kl maybe say porkalicious?offers great quality food , service etc. the food quality as in it taste good, its unique, its something special that only this place offers. but the thing is...its just too fuckin little. i'm a dude that loves to eat man. and trust me, i eat a lot. and when restaurants like these charges so fuckin much for so little, it made me think, if i'm paying [which i'm not], will i get satisfied? truly the answer i mean MY answer is no. i could not stand a fuckin 300 bill for over something that i couldn't get really full with. and the thing about these restaurants that offers quality over quantity food takes their own time like they fuckin own the time machine but they don't. it takes like what 45 minutes for the next dish to come? that's bullshit man. so at the end of that night in porkalicious, kl ... food is great, but i'm not satisfied. part of that was contributed with, terrible noise of plates breaking, annoying happy birthday songs, and long waits in between dishes. but the most important thing of the dissatisfaction is.... HIGH PRICE...SMALL QUANTITY....[note that this post might not apply to specifically you, chun kiat.. since you practically don't eat but oh well] [lets just forget bout rent and etc also]

and then now we look at the quantity perspective. well personally you already know that i eat a lot. but at the same time i demand good food. and lets just say my taste buds are like commoners. i like mamak,hawker stalls,high class restaurants, fusion, western, chinese, pasar malams etc etc etc. the thing bout these food unlike high class places, is that it offers the right quantity at a specific price that is worth it. now the quality might not be as good compared to higher class places, but it does certainly occupies every single room in your stomach and lets be frank, cheese naan is good isn;t it?or even ramli burger. [i seriously think ramli burger is nicer than most burgers in mcdonalds due to its juiciness.]. ok like say maybe you go to some place that offers small portion, but charges a lot, yea its good but its not fulfilling. then you come out from that restaurant and you walk by fatman steamboat and you grab all the sticks you want and no matter what, it will not be as expensive as 300 bucks but you get to reach the level of truly satisfied of what you just had. at least you know something is in your stomach. so it is sort of like this LOWER PRICE.....BIGGER QUANTITY... [note that lower price doesn't mean a reduction of quality. lots of places are cheap and nice too] [we are also ignoring the fact of difference in food genre]

so would you choose this and think bout this
....YOUR PAYING THE MEAL!

[the pictures are just representation of my point between price,quality and quantity.]

[whatever this is. price:[you can pay by credit card and you most probably need to if your not rich like me] [oh yea we are also assuming the fact that we all somehow stay in 2 storey house and no big big banglo oh..]

or would you get this? again your paying for the meal.


[kfc snack plate.price:11 bucks]

[the pictures are just representation of my point between price,quality and quantity.]

well the real question is....would you go for

HIGH PRICE, HIGH QUALITY,LOW QUANTITY?

OR

LOW PRICE,DECENT QUALITY, HIGH QUANTITY?

also i want you to think bout this. say lets just say you like this food which is priced reasonable and it taste good. after so many years of eating it and it remains the same, the food is suddenly raised in price and have gone through a slight reduction in its portion. tell me honestly, is the first thing that came to your mind, "the food doesn't taste as good as last time"? honestly...and this gotta be something you've been eating for a long long time. more than a year.

btw, one of the restaurants that i think is balanced in price, quantity and quality is chilis. love em.
