Chatterbox

Since i'm blogging and pretending to do work, i thought i'd post a pic of this chicken rice i ate at Chatterbox restaurant in Meritus Mandarin Hotel yesterday..

i think i first ate this exact same dish when i was 5 or 6 yrs old and i rem then it cost a whopping S$15!!!! that's mighty EX for something that long back. Today it costs S$18.. not cheap but its certainly grew less than inflation..

Assuming an inflation date of 2.5%, something that cost S$15 20 years ago, would cost S$15 *(1.025^20) = S$24.57 today!!!

wow.. so S$18 was a steal!!!
