The Bali Ice Incident

The drink bali ice (or bali ping in Cantonese), folks, not the Bali in Indonesia with snow due to global climate change... yet. Had lunch just now and iced bali was my drink. The price - RM1.50. It surprised me a little considering a drink of iced bali was only RM1 in the southern region of Malaysia while here in the central region, outskirts of the heart of the capital the price is an extra 50%!

Factoring in rental, inflation and slightly higher standard of living, is the 50% higher price tag justifiable? This wouldn't have crossed my mind had I not been traveling to the south so often lately. Hmmm... wonder how much will iced bali be as we approach Chinese New Year. RM1.60? RM1.70? RM2? :O
