JOHOR BARU: The rising cost of living, coupled with the influx of Singaporean visitors with a stronger dollar, caused a spike in food prices here.
A check at several restaurants and coffee shops around Johor Baru found that the prices of dishes and drinks have increased by at least a few sen to more than RM1 since the reopening of the border with steeper price hikes seen in the city area.
