I will like to propose a simple way in which the consumer can make more knowledgeable food choices in a particular hawker centre. This is in the light of the current escalating food-price situation.
Hawker centres can classify their various stalls within different price-range like from $2.50 upwards. These classifications can be prominently placed in a sign at the hawker centre's entrance. This is to help the typical worker who is more price conscious of lunch.
The added bonus is that a hawker stall that offers cheap food will get the much needed exposure that it may currently lack, if it is not featured in the media or located in a low human traffic part of the hawker centre.
Furthermore, as a group, the hawker centre may offer discounted prices (less $1) during off-peak period like 2:30pm - 5pm, which also may encourage more workers to stagger their lunch breaks and in no small way solve the current lunch time crunch.
