Pricey dumpling

Today marks the annual "five month, five day" (colloquial for the fifth day of the fifth lunar month)Dumpling Festival. So my wife likes to eat dumpling.

She bought several her favorite alkalic dumplings home this morning. Although I also like this kind of dumpling but when I came to know the price of this dumpling, I "phewed" as if we were having some kind of golden dumplings. The brutal truth is this kind of tiny dumpling, sized slightly larger then a 50c coin, excessively cost RM0.60 each!

It is unavoidably that sometime we do sacrifice for the beguiling inflation rather than demandpull or costpush inflation.
