I was in a chinese/vietnamese grocery shop today and to my surprise, they sold Maggi Mee! And to my horror, it's US$0.50 a packet! That's like S$0.85!! The Americans' version of Maggi noodles is Ramen noodles which is much cheaper than Maggi. I guess they import Maggi all the way from Malaysia, and that's why it's so expensive. This shop also sells a lot of other oriental stuff and my particular favourite is their garlic chilli. It reminds me so much of the 'chicken rice' chilli back home..
