RM35 nasi lemak, RM30 Indomie: F1 food prices rev up at Sepang

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 1 — Fans of Formula 1 preparing to attend the race in Sepang this weekend may want to prepare their wallets for a significant increase in food prices. On the official vendor menu, a plate of nasi lemak and fried egg is priced at RM35, while chicken rice is listed at RM30, Indomie with a fried egg at RM30, and a serving of cut fruit at RM20.

As spectators contemplate their day at the circuit, the menu prices may serve as a notable talking point amidst the excitement of the Formula 1 event in Malaysia.
