Curry puffs and chicken wings aren’t just snacks — they’re tracking inflation. In this DollarsAndSense podcast episode, we break down Singapore’s rising cost of living using a unique and surprisingly accurate gauge: the Old Chang Kee Index.
From 2006 to 2025, prices of OCK snacks have more than doubled — and that mirrors the inflation many of us feel every day. We explore how everyday staples like kopi, economic bee hoon, and even football pitch rentals reflect broader economic trends, why the official CPI might feel disconnected from real life, and why some costs (like mobile data) are actually falling.
