The Flying Pan: Singapore’s $5.50 Food Fix
Can you imagine a chicken chop for just five bucks? In a world where everything seems to be climbing—prices, temperatures, even blood pressure—the couple running The Flying Pan are banking on a different strategy: keep the price flat and bring in the crowds.
Meet Vicky & Sean
- Vicky – the heart and hands behind the stall, always ready with a smile.
- Sean – a driver by day and your friendly hawker partner by night.
- They’re juggling three kids and a future wedding, yet the menu stays at $5.50.
Having a 23‑year‑old helping out after school keeps the shop alive on busy days. When Sean’s driving shifts are long, Vicky takes the reins — a testament to their resilience.
Why Stick at $5.50?
“We want to bring in a lot of people, even if that means smaller margins.” — Vicky
Business dipped about 20 % after borders reopened, so they’re rolling the extra costs into smaller meals, making it easier for families who’re scrimping. As Vicky puts it, “Families out there are trying to make ends meet,” so the price stays low.
What’s on the Menu?
- Grilled Chicken Chop – juicy inside, crispy outside, paired with spicy tomatoes and a side of roasted potatoes.
- Chicken Wings – the crowd favorite: delightfully crisp outer skin with a sweet, juicy bite.
- Ribeye Steak – tender‑as‑butter, so soft even a plastic knife can cut through it.
- A trio of sides that you can tweak to your taste.
