RM13 Ikan Kembong.

Ikan Kembong is being sold at RM13 per kg today at the Jln Tun Razak wet market. That's about the priciest ikan kembong that I've encountered. A rather smallish group of ikan kembong is also available at RM7 per kg. Alor Star is known for RM3 per kg ikan kembong but today perhaps due to the CNY holidays prices have soared. Few people I saw balked at the price and turned away. No doubt they were pissed but it's a demand and supply situation; otherwise it's simply due to greedy traders.
