Bus station fried rice

I went through the city on the way to work last Friday and picked up a box of fried rice from the bakery near the bus station. I’d been wondering for some time when they’d raise their prices, and now they have – it’s now AU$3.50, up 50 cents. Inflation has taken its toll in […]
