JOHOR BARU: With the cost of food ingredients continuing to rise, some restaurant owners here have decided to drop their Menu Rahmah, which was supposed to offer affordable food options, after only a few months. Restaurant owner Sahul Hameed, 48, said he offered the RM5 meal for only about three months before deciding to do away with the initiative.

“I started offering the Menu Rahmah some time in July before stopping it early last month as I could no longer bear the losses.
