People's Park vegetarian stall charges $2 per extra teaspoon of 'specialty chilli sauce' for a reason

People's Park vegetarian stall charges $2 per extra teaspoon of 'specialty chilli sauce ' for a reasonThunder Tree, a stall selling vegetarian food at the basement of People's Park Centre, shuttered in November 2023.

On May 28, it reopened under the new name Fire Flies – after Thunder Tree's own organic vegetable farm under the same name that had to close down in 2022 due to changes in land use. Other than vegetarian noodle dishes and thunder tea rice, one item on the stall's menu has attracted customers' attention:"specialty chilli sauce" at $2 per teaspoon.that the sambal"does not contain onion, garlic, egg or belacan".

"The main ingredients are chili and a lot of spices, and it’s fried with great care. The preparation process is not easy,” he said, adding that he charges the $2 only for third and subsequent helpings of the sambal. Mr Cai shared that fans of the sambal did not mind paying for the extra serving, explaining that the $2 charge was not a money-making ploy."There have been customers who insist that it is their right to demand as much chilli as they please, and that it should not matter whether they eat it or not."“In the past, when we had enough workers, we sold the sambal, but we no longer do it to avoid overworking my mother," said Mr Cai.
