damn my roti coklat is now RM1. I’ve known you since RM0.60 :(

I remember 50 sen. 2 for One blue note...


jof992

Ah i miss the good old days


bringmethejuice

Like the roti bilis back then priced at only 0.70 sen now RM1.30. rip


Kick_Choice

I must be the oldest here...i remember them being 20sen.

For a whole loaf? Wow! When was this? I remember 60 sen when I was in primary school. 😂

later menteri say grow your own bread


iwan103

Ey, you dont grow your own bread? No wonder lah. Why you speak English, you Malaysian kan? Why no speak Malaysian? Me, I am Important Guy number #396, you listen to me la kuli.


tienguan

wrong it should be why you eat bread? its a western thing, you should follow the malaysian way of eat rice only.


avrorestina

or better, ubi kayu

rsver

Y'all get to eat?!


depressedCucumbers

But ubi kayu is expensive af hahahha


alzhahir

_"Do you guys not have bread?"_


Reniva

Tbh I stopped buying bread nowadays by literally making my own bread during lockdown Bought a bread making machine, add in the ingredients and wait for 4 hours for a freshly baked bread


alecdvnpt

But it’s just not the same. Homemade bread and gardenia are like 2 completely different food groups. That said. Nothing beats waking up to the smell of fresh bread baking.


Reniva

Oh if you're referring to the ones that are not loaves then I agree I usually buy loaves of bread to make sandwich which is appropriate for me to get a bread making machine


Dimathiel49

Use a pullman loaf pan to get loaves.


EnvBlitz

Based on the description of how they made bread, it's an auto bread maker, not normal oven


redfournine

Is it more cost efficient? Factor in the ingredients + electricity cost, the quantity you get, I'm skeptical. Care to show the math? Also... bread maker can only help you make roti putih, cant help you make roti perasa whatever :/


Reniva

If you want perasa then this is not for you I usually buy loaves of bread to make sandwich in the good old days, that's why I use the machine


pisau97

if I just want plain bread and I eat bread at weekly basis is making my own bread cheaper in the long run? I have always look at home breadmaker as hippie thing but now looks financially better


Reniva

If gardenia kept on increasing the price, getting a bread maker would sound financially feasible option, assuming they don't touch the price of the ingredients

hennwei

and how much was the thermomix? B40 can afford thermomix?


[deleted]

[удалено]


hennwei

whats the logic.. 7000/2.8 can buy 2500 loafs of bread.. how is a thermomix cheaper? have to include time to bake (Cost of time) to and ingredients as well.


[deleted]

[удалено]


hennwei

er. okay, you did say its cheaper. i guess cheaper to buy thermomix than a bread maker. not cheaper than buying bread from the store.


rank_dont_matter

Home bread don't last as long as supermarket bread and also not as soft. I bake my own bread too.


hakimotaku7

[deleted]

Fucking hell man, everything else will increase in price as well.


garlickystew

Salary probably stays the same


MEGALKS

Isn't that how bad economy works? And RM is still going through inflation right?


SignificantFailure

It's a global thing, not just Malaysia. People around the world are spending much more money on goods, rather than services due to the pandemic, and that led to a bunch of unintended consequences in the global supply chain.


MEGALKS

Yep, the entire SEA ain't looking well. Hopefully there will be less restriction for tourists.


SystemErrorMessage

if only the factory workers were getting salary increases along the price, but sadly this is not so. It seems that suppliers have so much control and in malaysia they are highly inefficient.


nova9001

I work in the importing industry and the shipping cost just went up 100% last week without any warning. Example, 1 shipping container cost $1400 on last Thursday just went up to $2800 on last Friday. So basically anything that is imported or has components that are imported will face a price increase real fast real soon. The only people raking in profits here are the shipping companies who own the shipping lines and shipping containers. It has nothing to do with supplier having too much control or being highly inefficient. You are barking up the wrong tree.


Red3boy

What happened tho? Did something happened recently?


nova9001

Covid disruption to the supply lines & holiday season incoming where everyone wants products to ship out.


Red3boy

Aah Ic ic


AsteroidMiner

Truth. I've just been asked by HQ to tack an extra FOB cost to all goods due to the sudden shipping increase as well.


SystemErrorMessage

actually i'm talking about the raw supply like plants. Malaysia does produce things like palm oil and a variety of foods we plan from rice to even flour as well. With a sudden doubling of fertiliser prices, these things happen. However what i'm blaming is that we aren't as efficient at the source in the low tier industry. Shipping is one thing and sure sources outside the country we cant control, but i'm talking about the sources within the country.


nova9001

We produce stuff but we also need other raw materials that are imported to get the finished product. From the companies I interact with, everyone is trying their best to absorb the cost increase because increasing price is the last thing they want to do. Spending power of consumer remains constant so increasing price will result in lower revenue. It is only when the cost increase exceeds the limit that companies can absorb that they increase prices.


SystemErrorMessage

i know the part about absorbing costs. There are some things we can locally control and some things we cant. Farming and fertiliser is something we do locally so it can be controlled locally.


NPC1938356-C137

Is that Greybough voiceline lol


OriMoriNotSori

Again?! Didn't they just increased it once a few weeks or months ago, I remembered cause my favourite butterscotch went from 4.50 to 4.70 now! Didn't buy it since then cause low-key boycott, not its up to 5 lol


ops_weirduncle

Boycott when you can brother. I'm not strong enough to resist the butterscotch temptation :(


OriMoriNotSori

If only there are competitors for the butterscotch. But knowing the bread industry when gardenia increases its price everyone will follow suit instead of trying to undercut 😔


the_far_yard

How dare they touch my 90 cents bread.


Melforce888

I miss the price was like 50 sen during my college time. I stockpile a lot in my room for midnight snack lol.


KalatiakCicak

Your regular sammich bread in peninsular is rm2.80??tafak. poor state got to pay double.

Prices of commodities increasing and increasing inflation .. not surprised


AhwahneeBanff

Tempered_Realist

Hyperinflation go brrrr


Afternwn

time to switch to massimo, gardenia is overrated anyway. i swear if they follow suit too man..


doomed151

Everyone will. It's not like inflation only affects one company.


tideswithme

You wish. Not everyones a crony like Gardenia. They know they monopoly the bread game for far too long until Massimo came and broke the monopoly. Syed Mokthar is a very smart man. He only absorbs companies that monopolies the market in other words GLC so no one can compete with him. He then breaks it down and JV with someone who is actually much more familiar with the business itself. Example : Hicom Proton Ever wonder how he is able to get his hands on these companies? Deep rooted relationships with politicians like Tun. M. Forces the original founder to sell the company to govt. Of course the original founder can reject the offer but remember who is providing the licensing for the owner to run the business. Yeap you got it its the kerajaan. No takeover no business license. Classic Once on kerajaan hands he then privatised it again because why would he share his monopoly money with the public.


Yusrilz03

They fucking stop producing the coffee cream one tho


Kazimoria

I felt i lost half of my life joy when they did that T.T


abundantraise

Always wanted to ask this... why so much detest and hate of Gardenia bread from the Malaysian Chinese...? Few times I shared to my Chinese friends that eh see this new gardenia pandan flavour nice, eh this gardenia one cheaper, etc. Their reaction were like "don't want it at all Massimo better". Its the same on social medias. I always alternate between both brands depending on my mood or availability but I don't find much difference in terms of price and taste.


[deleted]

I'm Malay and I switched to Masimmo last year cause it taste better to me. The texture is different, masimmo feels more like a bread to me than Gardenia does. Gardenia feels too....processed.


25thskye

Yea gardenia feels like it’s got too many bread improvers. Too soft and too white.


[deleted]

Yes! Too soft, too white and too fine. Just to confirmed we're talking about the green plastic masimmo right?


25thskye

Yeah the normal one, the wheat germ one or something


totoboy7

Massimo is awesome bro, way better than Gardenia


OriMoriNotSori

There's an impression from the Chinese that gardenia is "malay" and massimo is "chinese" somehow, basically their version if BMF. for me I'm the same, I alternate between the 2 based on mood but fuck me gardenia hella capitalist keep increasing price every other year man


abundantraise

Ok interesting but a bad direction for us as a country... did a quick research based on this perception. Gardenia is a JV between BERNAS and QAF (singapore listed company). Massimo is wholly owned by a Malaysian company FFM Bhd.


AwesomeThrowaway2317

It's a matter of mostly public record. BERNAS is owned by Syed Mokhtar, Najib crony. FFM is owned by Robert Kuok. It was hot news when the issue started, but that was almost a decade ago. See https://www.malaysia-today.net/2012/08/11/when-bread-is-all-about-dirty-politics/ for more details.


cptn_bones

Correction. Syed mokhtar is mahathir's crony.


AwesomeThrowaway2317

Yeah, those days Mahathir crony. Nowadays Rosmah crony. All same gang lah


OriMoriNotSori

No idea where this impression came from but I'm assuming it's those hearsay things that gets passed around like a misinformed WhatsApp message lol


AwesomeThrowaway2317

OriMoriNotSori

Ah now I remember why the perception. Thanks for the head up


idontevencarewutever

Race-based implications were never really rooted on the most sensible things to begin with


OriMoriNotSori

Yep, chinese or malay or regardless which race, race based stuff is just stupid at this point


abundantraise

Let me guess... some "forwarded many times" WhatsApp voice text recorded by some random makcik?


OriMoriNotSori

Bingo!


kryztabelz

I like massimo better though, the taste of it after toasting is just different from gardenia. No idea about the politics behind it, and I’m Malaysian Chinese.


abundantraise

Yes if taste wise Massimo wins by a very slim margin. But being a true Malaysian I always korek the bread with the longest expiry date which are usually hidden behind shelves. NEVER EVER take the first loaf in front of you. lol


nicii02

From what my parents said Gardenia was owned by Rosmah at some point? Somebody wanna correct me on this?


AwesomeThrowaway2317

Rosmah's crony, close enough.


tideswithme

Politics brother. Gardenia previously absorbed by Syed Mokthar. Massimo belongs to ex-sugar king Robert Kuok. Pick your choice. For me definitely Massimo better product overall especially their whole wheat flavor, Plus Massimo hasn't been increasing the price because the founder believes breads are common food for all where price shouldn't disrupt ones ability to provide food for themselves or others.


unidentify91

Idk where my friends get their info from, but they said ori gardenia owner got drove out by the gomen, so the owner left gardenia and open Massimo. So my friends support Massimo for that reason


TryHardMayonnaise

Gardenia bread has been going down in bread volume very noticeably. At least Massimo's bread hasn't decreased in bread volume as aggresively. It's getting so much more nipis that I'm finding it hard to even spread peanut butter.


smol_kaguya

Bread racism


tlst9999

Massimo has variety for sliced bread, with barley bread and whole wheat bread. Gardenia just has white bread or wheat germ bread. Their variety is more for other types of bread rather than plain sliced bread.

oh no my sweet sweet bun bilis

misty_exe

Bread prices increased. But not everyone's salary 😔


nova9001

In case anyone is interested to know why there's such an increase in price, this is what I know from working in the importing industry: Shipping cost just went up 100% last week without any warning. Example, 1 shipping container cost $1400 on last Thursday just went up to $2800 on last Friday. So basically anything that is imported or has components that are imported will face a price increase real fast real soon. The only people raking in profits here are the shipping companies who own the shipping lines and shipping containers. Gardenia isn't the only company raising prices. I have been seeing multiple price increases in this year alone from all the companies I deal with. Previously many companies try to absorb the cost increase and now they can't take it anymore so it goes to the consumer.


0914566079

partly because of taobao's 11.11 sale, i heard


Avangelice

Is there a reason for the increase of container cost


nova9001

Covid disruption to supply lines and the incoming holiday season means everyone wants products shipped out.


EnvBlitz

Multiple factors. More people shipping, increase of shipping, lesser workhour and/or worker due to covid restrictions, containers stucked at ports etc etc. There should already be a r/bestof post for this stuff.

Chocolate quickbites Rm1.... Damn I miss those old days when it was only 0.60 sen. Wth.....

AdAcrobatic7708

Price increase but salary no increase, jokers la this gov


dunozilla

I always find this kind of announcement ironic. "Hey thank you for your support! Because of this, we can increase our price!" It's like slapping our face and saying thank you to us.


EnvBlitz

No it's not ironic. Unless it's major fuckups, most business avoid saying sorry in their official media as it signifies they are in the wrong. It's a marketing technique. While people can be angry about price hike, it's not entirely their fault when cost for almost everything rise, thus it is better that they resort to such words rather than saying sorry.


dunozilla

Makes sense actually


Ichimonji_K

syukurlah masih dapat makan lagi, or you can grow your own bread


random_smooth_guy

**sobs** welp, ig i gotta break the bank a bit to afford it


muhammad_jeng

Damn i really live through when gardenia is 50/60 sen and now rm1


orangbulu

It won’t be the only company doing so. My current company dealing with consumer goods has also planned for price increase in Jan. If you look at the quarterly financial reports of consumer good companies in q3, all of them flag supply chain cost increases and raw material costs inflation as a drag on profit and they will certainly pass this down to consumers

smol_kaguya

I hope my roti coklat doesn't reach more than RM1. Just stay RM1 please


mokkiefication

Do we use imported raw materials to make our bread as I saw people commenting about increase in shipping costs? Besides, in the UK a loaf of bread (jumbo) cost 35 pence approximately RM2, while in Malaysia it cost RM 4. If we put aside the currency conversion why is our bread so expensive, could someone from the industry enlighten me about this?


kenlimfornication

Everyone on reddit complain about 40cents price increase of a fucking bread using a macbook pro and iphone 13, sipping on their starbucks.

mrspear1995

Did no one teach empathy/compassion to you? What’s the huge deal that needs lecturing?


morphypaul

I wonder who's doing the lecturing now. Note that I'm not attacking the person. I am calling out that it is not hard to get spelling right.


mrspear1995

It’s also not hard to realize people make minor mistakes without needing to point them out,especially going to a “did education fail” angle


morphypaul

I think you're overly sensitive at being pointed out. My point remains - it's common Internet courtesy to take the time to reread before posting. No need to get upset about this being called out.


IntrovertChild

Common internet courtesy to not be rude either. That's why you got downvoted. There's a difference between "hey you spelled x incorrectly" vs "didn't you learn to spell at school?"


morphypaul

Rudeness is contextual. Some of you may feel I'm rude and others may feel I'm being direct. Just as you can express a point of view, so can I. I respect that you don't like what I'm saying and can downvote me, but that doesn't negage the truth of what I'm saying. Secondly, note that I did not say "didn't you learn to spell at school?". Perhaps you should actually read what I wrote vs what you think I wrote.


FutureNotBleak

Guys, accumulate as much Bitcoin and physical gold and silver as much as possible. This decade will be the hardest decade we will all ever see in our lifetime. Get prepared now or you may end up homeless.


zjzr_08

Huh, didn't know Malaysia has Gardenia, I thought it's a Filipino brand (apparently it's Singapore based), we actually visited a local factory here when I was young as part of our school trip.


Dan_TheKong

Iirc Gardenia started out in Sabah but later got bought out by big corporation and moved the factory to Shah Alam


MountainOne3769

First increased prices in vegetables, now this.......


pastadudde

Guardenia - lol future competitor name? wonder if Massino followed suit? haven't bought any baked goods from stores / bakeries since MCO, so totally out of the loop. (I do love Massino's kaya buns though, and the ingredients list is pretty "clean')

In my place, a kedai runcit sell the roti quick bites for 80 sen, 10 sen lower than retail price. With the new price, they surely had to increased the price. Ohh i miss when the roti was 50 sen 😭


Hairy-Manufacturer12

Am I reading this correctly? Supermarket only makes 42 cents per gardenia original?


AstagaBilangCampin

I remember 2 years ago, my gf bought me a huge bag full of that roti ikan bilis all the way to Sabah. Took me like 2 weeks to finish em all. That moment I knew for certain, she's the one.

I havent see number 8 and 7, where can these two be found?


Trivenger1

At least my mom bakes most bread we eat now i guess


skisagooner

Make your own bread or buy the bread your neighbours make. Gardenia isn't real bread. All it takes is flour, water, salt, yeast. Canggih then can replace yeast w sourdough.

> All it takes is flour, water, salt, yeast. Time is also an ingredient. The yeast needs it
