Nine years ago we wrote an article<\/a> about the types of food that you can get with RM10 at three different Ramadan bazaars.<\/p>\n

While our writer back then could buy all sorts of delicacies, from local favourites such as kebabs<\/em> and murtabaks<\/em> to a variety of kuih<\/em>, the same can\u2019t be said for us bazaar lovers in 2024.<\/p>\n

But how much of a difference has the prices changed over the last nine years? And does your RM10 have the same (or at least similar) purchasing power as it used to?<\/p>\n

To figure this out, we went back to the same three Ramadan bazaars and compared the prices of the same foods that were bought back then.<\/p>\n

And to make things interesting, we\u2019ll add in what the prices in 2015 would be if it was adjusted to today\u2019s inflation just so you can get an idea of the disparity in increasing costs.<\/p>\n

Over the years, the Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI) bazaar has grown bigger and more popular than ever as the destination spot for folks to get their Ramadan grub in the Kuala Lumpur region.<\/p>\n

While the mainstays of nasi ayam, murtabak,<\/em> and thirst-quenching drinks such as fruit juices, bandung cincau<\/em>, and air mata kucing<\/em> are present, it\u2019s the addition of newly popular foods such as burritos and street churros that elevates the selection of mouth-watering delicacies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But those mouth-watering delicacies come at an eye-watering cost as an 8-pc street churro can set you back RM7 and one beef burrito costs RM15(!) with an add-on of a cheese\/egg costing you RM3.<\/p>\n

A lot of the new foods will be way beyond our budget of RM10. But what about the foods bought nine years ago?<\/p>\n

Here are the prices back then:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
