I forgot to ask for a little spice the second time and paid the price ... never mind. Food is very cheap, but snacking is expensive compaired to meals due to most biscuits, chocolate crisps etc being imported.<br /><br />It's quite strange really; when I travelled around North America I used to head into shopping centers to get a cheap meal, now the tables have turned and the shopping centers are expensive compaire to street food.
