Chicken-based dishes get pricier in Singapore as Malaysia's export ban takes a toll

SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): Chicken-based dishes are getting pricier, as some eateries have already hiked prices, while others are taking a wait-and-see approach, following Malaysia's export ban which began on Wednesday (June 1).

Chicken rice chain Boon Tong Kee, which has eight outlets across the island, said it has increased the price of its Signature Boiled (Poached) Chicken dish by 15 per cent to $36 without GST across all its outlets since Wednesday.
