Food price comparison between KL and Sibu

A lot of people from my hometown(Sibu) said that the living fees in KL is very high. Actually it's not very high if you know how to plan you budget. The only things that is expensive here is entertainment because there are too many entertainment place in KL.

Back to the topic, in Sibu, a normal plate of food like fried noodles or fried kuey tiao is about RM3.00 to RM3.50. In KL, it cost about RM4.50 to RM5.00
It differs by about RM1.50

How about the content? In Sibu, RM3.00 only got maybe 5-8 pieces of meat, 2-4 thin pieces of fishball, a lot of vegetables and if lucky, maybe eggs.

However in KL, RM4.50, you can find 5-8 pieces of meat, a lot of "ham", 3-5 prawn, eggs, a lot of bean sprout(which i think many people like to have them in noodles), little vegetable and some pieces of fishball.

I will not say the food in KL is expensive, i rather say it's worth. However, the taste of Sibu food is totally different than KL food. I must get use to KL food but I am sure I will miss Sibu food.....a lot.
