There's been an ongoing argument over whether hawker food deserves to be priced on the same level as restaurants or cafes.

The obvious answer is, if it tastes great, why not?

But, there are some who just don't consider the price to be worth it, for purely visceral factors, factors such as how it's appearance, compared to purported haute cuisine.

Here's your typical hawker food.

Looks delicious enough. But some of the visual earners will refrain from forking double digits for the meal.

But look at this Atas-ified version, from Instagram page, Dabaogram.

Dabaogram, as their name suggests, takes Insta pictures of dabao food in a very un-dabao manner.

Take a gander at some of their other high-class hawker grub.
