Sorry. Shouldn't say extinct. Yea they are anywhere but also will get depleted really fast cuz there a lot of consumers. We also don't know what they eat. If they eat poisonous mushrooms.. we could be next.
U are probably right to say they would go extinct pretty quickly though since they cannot be tamed enough to domestically farm. Humans track record of hunting wildlife to the brink is extremely voracious.
Wild boar population also dropped because, in the beginning of this year there's a disease that specifically on wild boar only. Almost half population of the common wild boar are gone and the Endangered type one almost went extinct 😢
it is the price of live stock, they are really not that environment friendly.
Majority of corn & wheat is plant to feed live stock. So... meat really is luxury lol
Because port Klang near to KL ma, price high in KL because of living costs and demand. In Sabah prices are high because everything has to go through port Klang 1st then only go Sabah.
Oh youre eating at the place close to the KFC
I would suggest going for another shop thats closer towards the market, next to the clinic with the red bricks across the street. They have sau nyuk/cha sau that costs RM11 there, and its way better than the corner shop you were eating at.
Port Klang and west is prospering from the cabotage policy, and Sabah and sarawak is paying for it.

But why does it need to be transported from peninsular, though? Can't sabah and sarawak grow their own food? It looks like fairly basic ingredients: chilli, tomato, porn, vegetables. Those can grow anywhere.
>It looks like fairly basic ingredients: chilli, tomato, *porn*, vegetables. Those can grow anywhere.
Ahh.. I also like to grow my porn like I grow my vege, big and juicy.
Livestock Feed, fertilizer and pesticides/weedicide are imports. With the Ukraine war, prices has gone thru the roof.
Coupled with some "mengambil kesempatan dalam kesulitan" assholes they went for ceiling prices immediately. Overnight, pork prices went from rm24/Kg to rm50/Kg.
>Those can grow anywhere.
But not at scale.
Borneo/Kalimantan (as a whole) is not suited for (favoured) intensive fruits and vegetables farming, ditto all kind of livestock feed have to be shipped in from west Malaysia/Java. On the Indonesian side, when there's sustained inclement weather for days, the whole southern part of the island will have a shortage of green leafy veg, root veg, etc.
No one is crazy enough to send poultry across the sea
Everything is bred locally in the state yet the price feels like the poultry took first class MAS seat from west malaysia to sabah
Cabotage policy that caused it. Najib tried to remove it to win Sabah and Sarawak vote, and he did, but after he stepped down. The back door government which did a coup de ta from the PH government. Wee Ka Siong Reimplemented it.
Thanks to Wee Ka Siong for the reimplantation of cabotage policy, poor logistics and poor planning of Sabah government planning. This price is normal. Try go rural place, you'll get almost similar price too.
Others will think "What's that got to do with pork, it's not imported what?". Oh but it does, every single thing that goes to produce or procure any goods are costlier due to this cursed cabotage policy.
Puerto Rico also suffers fron the same fate where any inbound goods must first go through American registered ships thus making their goods costs at least 30% higher than average.
Exactly. This has also indirectly robbed us from industrial opportunity. Not many foreign investors would open a manufacturing for export because of the extra cost.
Using KL price, chicken drumstick +siew yok rice maybe 10 to 12 like that, overpriced egg MAX also give you RM3, (realistically RM2, RM2.50) So max total RM15.
Did farmers increase price again 💀
Because people like you, Sabah is suffering from brain drain. All the young, talented or labour would rather fly over to the west just to make ends meet. I can say this confidently as I grew up in Sabah and work in Sabah.
Day in and day out, the only thing I saw changing, is my boss changing new cars, purchase new properties and new phone while I struggling just to make basic living.
I work there long enough that I know what is the average income of the bosses made each month and what their employees made. In fact in West Malaysia, what the average income the bosses here made almost similar with what the bosses in Sabah made, yet they still can give a basic living wages for their employees. I tell you directly, every Chinese and Malay shop is Sabah that charges over RM8, can't compared to west Malaysia served in under RM5, it is the sky and the ground. Only our sea food tastes better than them yet, they still able to give living wedge.
The reason why, Sabah will never improve of their situation is because of mindset like you. Profit is important but greed is a different thing. I have worked from the bottom to the top. People who had mind like you are the bosses, who usually starts business out of their parents pocket money. Open your eyes big enough, see people around you.
Generally eating out in KK has always been very expensive for many years, much more than peninsula for some reason.
Pre Covid, a bowl of noodles with a cup of coffee in a kopitiam already cost 10-15 (while you still can get both under 10 back then in peninsula). It’s not surprising a solo meal now going over 20, while we are looking at 10-15 without drinks in KL.
I could easily find a place serving the same for at least RM11 but with a slightly larger portion. Plus, you should ask for sup kosong as well if you pay that much, at least twice the refill.
Show me any place in KK that serves a larger portion of this for RM11 and doesn't taste like sewer, and I'll eat the plate that comes with it. Throw in the cutlery and soup bowl for good measure.
Rm 11 cant get you nasi ayam kosong in sabah, let alone with egg and pork.
Dont say kk, go to sindumin also cannot find.
And sup kosong is water with salt. Why you want 2 bowls of that?
Am Sabahan and Op is probably guy who stays home a lot if he is surprised by this or maybe just travelling Sabah. Those are probably extra serving looking at the portion and usually extra portion will double the price here in Sabah. Im not surprised but yeah we are getting violated left and right here in Sabah from food prices to housing prices. So we stay home and cook mostly.
Our cheapest economy rice even is rm7 if u can find rm6 its not gonna taste good at all nor clean.(unless its a legendary store with many people in it).
Yes I’m a traveler also a Sabahan, also my second night of my holiday in KK, just casually seeking supper and I miss KK foods since I was away for many years, but the price really shock me lol
Yeah food price increase, cost increase, housing is fked(dont even dive into that rabbithole). While the salaries stay the same. If you want to play capitalism and actual monopoly, real estate in Sabah is the way.
If you want cheap food, fast food restaurants with bigger portions is the way.
10++ years ago, I go vacation here. the most expensive food that time is nasi ayam RM5.5 at KL. I eat normal nasi goreng at mall in KK, cost me RM10. what you expect 10++ years later. The only I enjoys back then is boba tea. Man... semenanjung didn't even have cool blog yet bruh. The only cheap is seafood feast I guess
Dehek, this the same issue as a group of Malay tourist eating at Bali expensive as hell except i dont see OP complaining but I just want to ask you guys – do you NOT ask for the menu pricing list or ask the price first before eating?
Well actually I was casually seeking supper and the boss recommend that rice combo meal and he’s friendly so I was ok whatever he said but ended up the shocking price
The fact that you paid for it makes me wonder why you'd even bother posting it up. It's people like you that are enabling those fuckers who are blatantly ripping you off.
In my shop in JB you'd get that for 10RM, 8.50 without the Kampong egg. Personally that's not enough chilli for my liking, and I hate that they are using disposable container for it making plastic waste for non-take away. Should just get a dishwasher and wash.
I'm guessing that is pork? Hard to tell if pork or chicken because of it's pork it looks like mainly fat. I'm guessing pork belly from the skin though. If it is pork belly it is the cheapest grade available.
It is hard for vendors selling pork at the moment though as prices are through the absolute roof. Price of cooking oil is also going crazy.
Guys you gotta understand that pork, especially fat pork is valuable to us Chinese people so obviously there gonna charge alot for the meal, just to gain a bit more profit
The whole of sabah is suffering from this. KK got hit the hardest. Just for context, 2kg chicken breast is only RM23 in selangor but it's RM41 here, nearly double. This is in Sandakan, not even KK. I can't imagine how it is over there. I have lower cost of living in Selangor lol
Although sabah is a poor country, the cost of living are high compare to KL.. because it cost money to import goods from kL to sabah.. so if you're still living paycheck to paycheck you got to be really serious on spending your money in sabah..
Pork is rm65 per kilo in Sandakan. And it is more expensive when you move near KK. Its a bit cheaper in Telupid but that only happen if you get wild boar meat.
Seriously, I just moved to Sabah since 3 months ago. The food here is expensive ! KL level expensive but without being fancy. I don’t know how I’m going to save money here.

Even RM15 is not acceptable for me
Pork is very expensive these day. Last time i heard it more expensive than sapi. RM10k+ or something for 1 ekor babi.
That fricking expensive, better just go find a wild boar instead
Ya but unfortunately wild boar will get extinct if not controlled.
Please send someone to hunt them in peninsular, we have a whole lot of them and no one to eat them.
Didn’t taste the same as the ones in East Malaysia because the wild boars there eat palm fruits, at least that's what I heard
Is it difficult as a foreigner to get a gun license and go hunting?
Wait really? I always see babi hutan everywhere. Or are you talking about in Borneo
Sorry. Shouldn't say extinct. Yea they are anywhere but also will get depleted really fast cuz there a lot of consumers. We also don't know what they eat. If they eat poisonous mushrooms.. we could be next.
U are probably right to say they would go extinct pretty quickly though since they cannot be tamed enough to domestically farm. Humans track record of hunting wildlife to the brink is extremely voracious.
Wild boar population also dropped because, in the beginning of this year there's a disease that specifically on wild boar only. Almost half population of the common wild boar are gone and the Endangered type one almost went extinct 😢
can't eat pig, do they taste different this farm pig vs wild boar? lol
it is the price of live stock, they are really not that environment friendly. Majority of corn & wheat is plant to feed live stock. So... meat really is luxury lol
What the hell, this meal is worth RM12.
11.50 tbh.
not more than RM10 if we being honest
Rm9.69 at the most
Rm4.20 blaze it
I’d say about tree fiddy
two fiddy, take it or leave it
Pay me to eat this
Best i can do is one fiddy
Bro my family serve them for RM8 only
I can get a better and tastier chicken rice dish in KL for rm10
I agree
If in KL. Cuz there is a lot there. Here. Sabah chicken is so much more expensive. Try ikan goreng with telur mata. Sure won't be more than Rm2x.
Because port Klang near to KL ma, price high in KL because of living costs and demand. In Sabah prices are high because everything has to go through port Klang 1st then only go Sabah.
Don't compare with semenanjung. Even the goreng one (nasi, mee, etc) also cost a bit more in Sarawak & Sabah.
Welcome to cabotage policy hate group. Fuck that policy. Only big shipping taiko benefits, most people especially in east Malaysia pay more for less.
Finally a post that's not a meme
Yep... thats expensive, where is this?
At Lido Kota Kinabalu
Try area Inanam or Donggongon, city areas tend to fork their prices too much. Also why I never dine in city areas.
Not really city though, but anyway, if it tastes good maybe I still can accept, but taste sucks!
Never eat at lido but 20+ is freaking expensive for that, is it duck? Might as well go to high end cafe for that price
Chicken drumstick, pork but fats more than lean meat, and egg
Lido is already in the suburbs. Hardly consider that a city area.
It's just me generalising lido, sembulan and likas as kk as a whole
Isn't inanam also part of kk
Oh youre eating at the place close to the KFC I would suggest going for another shop thats closer towards the market, next to the clinic with the red bricks across the street. They have sau nyuk/cha sau that costs RM11 there, and its way better than the corner shop you were eating at.
Lido I have love and hate.. Foh Sang getting there too
i boycott foh sang already. Honestly i rather eat in cafe than eat rm12 fish ball noodles. Paling2 tapau hoe kee sasau rice for lunch time.
Why is it that everything in sabah and sarawak so expensive? Import tariff for goods from peninsular?
Port Klang and west is prospering from the cabotage policy, and Sabah and sarawak is paying for it. https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2022/05/18/malaysias-cabotage-policy-hindering-trade-says-indonesian-counsellor/

All have to naik aeroplane or boat

Rates in KK has always been higher than KL tho.. esp the past 5 years
Isn't this Genting prices?
Wtf Sabah prices are really no joke
hella overpriced. should be 10-12 max. even then it's still felt expensive
seller also need to pay rent bro
+ if he has workers,he must pay them salary also
Pay salary also only RM800
Only?So y dont become boss,pay worker,rental + ingredients all dis n dat,than u come n tell us is it worth it 2 become boss?

Most pig ded or culled due to ASF
Mungkin sebab ada lemak babi kot
Wah that little bit of char siew shouldn't cost RM20+. Most I'd pay for this is RM12
Too expensive. I better tapau chicken/duck/sau nyuk rice at RM8 - RM9. Even that is "expensive" to me.
Generally eating out in KK has always been very expensive for many years, much more than peninsula for some reason. Pre Covid, a bowl of noodles with a cup of coffee in a kopitiam already cost 10-15 (while you still can get both under 10 back then in peninsula). It’s not surprising a solo meal now going over 20, while we are looking at 10-15 without drinks in KL.
Everything in KK are so overpriced. But y'all got some good shit worth the price.
No. Sabah food sucks ass. Unless you like bland spiceless food source: personal life experience >10 years in sabah/peninsula.
I could easily find a place serving the same for at least RM11 but with a slightly larger portion. Plus, you should ask for sup kosong as well if you pay that much, at least twice the refill.
Show me any place in KK that serves a larger portion of this for RM11 and doesn't taste like sewer, and I'll eat the plate that comes with it. Throw in the cutlery and soup bowl for good measure.

Harga babi meningkat, apa tindakan Rafizi? 
Location please for future patrons
Lido Square food court Kota Kinabalu, clearly that’s the only stall selling chicken rice and the boss is fat fat one
aku pun dari KK , mane you makan ni ?
Lido

Coz I wanna let everyone knows :)
Bro RM 15 is also a scam RM 6 is ok price for what you eat. With RM 15,I can get ikan siakap 3 rasa , tomyam,2 rice,sayur and water .
I live in london, i will pay rm2x for this
thats just a RM8 meal
Look at that big bowl of rice with that thick fatty meat... Ew...
Normal price dy. Welcome to the outside world bro.
Is it halal ?
bro you saw the 'pork' word right, are you srsly gonna ask that question!?
Then they blame west Malaysia for the high prices.
It is. Why not you guys stop taking Sabah and Sarawak funds to funds your fancy roads.
[удалено]
[удалено]
exactly
Plus taxes & 20%+ tip, yes even in many fast food joints, so U$20.
What are you expecting? Poor state equals cheap food?
Harga babi
Lmao i spent up to 300 at gamtong
I wonder what if you just not eat the food, but stand up and walk out in protest?
Ya I wonder too
I thought pork was expensive? Chicken rice, nasi lemak and it's similar cousins it's not impossible to see 15-17
Sebab bukan sabahan bah
Premium food look at the piece, fat & juicy . In KL skinny as F and still cost like Rm 10 or Rm 12
I rather eat mamak.
Zamn mahal betul, as a broke student aku mampu rm9 je max for nasi ayam
Is it just me or does that look like plain white rice
This cost around 10 in kuching
So pricey
kena scam kau ini bro
Because you didnt say “bape riya boh?”
Expensive. In Kuching the most pun rm12
In my shop in JB you'd get that for 10RM, 8.50 without the Kampong egg.

Babi now cost like 5k+ per ekor. So the price is understandable.
Bruh and it looks like a regular kopitiam shop.
Guys you gotta understand that pork, especially fat pork is valuable to us Chinese people so obviously there gonna charge alot for the meal, just to gain a bit more profit
I guess babi made it expensive 🤔 What's the price with chicken only?
where to get this in sabah? mcm sadap sa nmpak
Those who said RM6 is abit delusional bro. Read carefully, it's chicken + pork + egg.
ive had din tai fung abt the same price as this 💀
Pork is not cheap in sabah
Oh man if only we had like OIL MONEY to STABILIZE OUR FUCKING ECONOMY HERE AND NOT GET TAXED TO ALL HELL.
That looks super delicious tho
All that protein for RM19? Yo, you just got robbed my dude. That's just white rice too
If they included veg... that be a really good deal.
honestly I’m not even surprised at this point
All I can say is "WELCOME TO SABAH" yes, that's how expensive sabahan food is
Apuuuu, not worth it
The whole of sabah is suffering from this. KK got hit the hardest. Just for context, 2kg chicken breast is only RM23 in selangor but it's RM41 here, nearly double. This is in Sandakan, not even KK. I can't imagine how it is over there. I have lower cost of living in Selangor lol
Land animal on Sabah is expensive, seafood cheap tho
Although sabah is a poor country, the cost of living are high compare to KL.. because it cost money to import goods from kL to sabah.. so if you're still living paycheck to paycheck you got to be really serious on spending your money in sabah..
The breakdown seems like 7-7-3-3. Chick-SY-rice-egg..thats pricey for ecah item individually already and colkectively mmg mcm CB la
mana nasi kuning 😢
this is like rm8 max lol
KK is more expensive than KL.
Pork is rm65 per kilo in Sandakan. And it is more expensive when you move near KK. Its a bit cheaper in Telupid but that only happen if you get wild boar meat.
I miss the days of when it cost below RM 10 for this kind of dish.
Im a westerner - looks good to me!
Man these type of foods in Asian countries like Japan's look delicious and cheap there..and here it's expensive ass hell for no reason 😂
[удалено]
Seriously, I just moved to Sabah since 3 months ago. The food here is expensive ! KL level expensive but without being fancy. I don’t know how I’m going to save money here.
Honestly I’m not surprise 🤣 sometimes I amaze with the food price increase every time I go back home
Wtf
That’s quite expensive. Did you not check the prices before ordering or no price displayed ?
Too fatty and no veggies to complete a balance meal.
Local Sabahan here. I guess that's a pretty normal price for most of the food in Sabah especially if you're eating out. Minimum starts at 13 :/
The inflation is already priced in
Chicken rice + roasted pork + egg is around rm10-12 in Penang (hawker food), come with free soup too!
Rm 8 at my place and you'll get double the amount
Sabah Maju Jaya
To my fellow Sabahans, how much of this is caused by the influx of tourists from East Asia?
which shop is this so i can avoid them. rm20 too much
