1. I always order my drinks “kurang gula” (been told it’s less sugary than kurang manis), and even then it’s still sweet as hell. these days I could go with kurang manis and it would actually come out with barely any sugar…

2. My theory is that sugar price has gone up, and shops are reluctant to use sugar.

3. I have also noticed that drinks tend to be less concentrated and they taste a bit more bland. Case in point, my air bandung, teh ais, and teh c peng that i had from different places from the past few days all tasted really weak.

4. Maybe it’s just me but food from many places do not taste as “bomb” and there’s a lot less MSG and salt. I really like it tho.

Thoughts? have you guys noticed anything different as of late now that some ingredients have gone up in price due to reduction of subsidies?
