As inflation continues to push prices up, just ordering one thing at a night market can cost as much as a meal used to. But one stand in Kaohsiung that has been running for over a decade still offers its specialty for just NT$40: a meat sausage wrapped in a rice sausage. Not far away by the Nanzi Tianhou Temple, another vendor sells the same snack for just NT$35, topped with plenty of garlic and cucumber.

Meat sausages sizzle on a grill, with rice sausages cut down the middle cooking next to them. This stand has been serving the local community for over a decade.

Customer
His sausages don’t have fatty pork like others, and they don’t taste gamey.

- It used to be NT$35.
- The price went up by NT$5?
- Yeah.

This stand on Sanduo Road in Kaohsiung sells a meat sausage wrapped in a rice sausage for just NT$40, which their customers appreciate as a really good deal. But the owner worries that as the cost of ingredients continues to rise, maintaining the price will be hard.

- It depends on whether costs keep rising.
- There might be no choice but to raise the price.
- Yeah.

Getting a filling snack like this for NT$40 seems like a great deal, but by the Nanzi Tianhou Temple, another stand has an even better offer.

A chef cuts rice sausage down the middle and fills it with sauce, garlic, and cucumbers. Here, the same snack is sold for only NT$35.

- I’ve had it before, it’s really good.
- What about the price?
- It’s so cheap.
- Nowadays everything is expensive.

Customer
There’s not a lot of fat inside. It’s a packed sausage. At this price, with cucumber included, it’s pretty good.

This stand gets lots of customers for their generous price. The owner doesn’t earn much, but she makes sure her customers are satisfied.

- How long have you been doing this?
- A very long time!
- I raised the price by NT$5 already.
- But it’s still really cheap.
- So, I don’t earn a lot.

Even as the cost of ingredients goes up, these two stands are doing their best to keep their prices down and keep customers coming back.
