Singapore’s GST rate was raised to 9 per cent on Jan 1 this year. While you can still find eateries that absorb the tax, the rising prices for food is still a concern for Singaporeans.

Which makes hawker finds like BakeFresh by Tina Sim especially welcome. The hawker stall at Shunfu Mart Food Centre, which is run by professional baker Tina Sim, offers a selection of snacks like house-made muffins, coconut tarts, min jiang kueh and old-school fish burgers.

$1.20 fish burger
According to a Facebook post by netizen Joanne Lim, the no-frills fish burger costs just $1.20, an amount that probably cannot even get you a cup of coffee at a kopitiam these days.
It consists of a fried fish fillet patty drizzled with sauce and wedged between a retro burger bun. It’s not as hearty as a pricier gourmet burger, but good enough for a light breakfast (the stall is open from 7am, Thursdays to Sundays).

$1.30 muffins
Tina, who also conducts baking classes at community centres, bakes her muffins at her stall. She offers around 11 flavours, all priced at a flat $1.30 per muffin. This includes Double Chocolate, Cheese, Almond, Banana Walnut, Chocolate Walnut, Strawberry, Blueberry, Apple and Oreo Chocolate Chip.

Prices are pretty similar to popular muffin chain Chocolate N’ Spice, which has an outlet in the same hawker centre, but BakeFresh offers flat prices for all its muffin flavours.
