Of Organic Food & Escalating Prices

While AstroBanana were at Ngee Ann City this evening, they decided to have dinner at the newly-opened Cedele by The Bakery Depot located in Basement 1, where Delifrance used to be. Interestingly, Cedele chose the entrance with less human traffic as its main entrance. Maybe there is less space constraint on this side. As AstroBanana perused the menu, they realised that there has been a change in some of the menu items. Not all changes were deemed to be good. More glaringly, the prices have also gone a bit north.

Wow. While AstroBanana think the food at Cedele is quite nice, they feel that the new prices have gone beyond the reasonable range. AstroBanana do recognise that organic food tends to be more expensive due to the ingredients used but charging higher prices just because they can is not. It's not like AstroBanana cannot afford that extra few dollars but they are not interested in helping profit-driven companies make even more money.

So, no more meals at Cedele for AstroBanana from now onwards. Okay, maybe for that occasional slice of carrot walnut cake...
