Out of curiosity, I decided to compare the prices of the various food items on the menu to see how much inflation has affected us in Singapore. Here are the results...
February 2010 flyer on the left, May 2011 flyer on the right.
First I compared the prices of the McDelivery bundles...
In 2010,
Breakfast McDelivery bundle $15, U.P: $17.00, Save: $2.00
Lunch & Dinner McDelivery bundle $15.50, U.P: $18.80, Save: $3.30

Breakfast McDelivery bundle $15.50, U.P: $17.65, Save: $2.15
Lunch & Dinner McDelivery bundle $16, U.P: $19.60, Save: $3.60
There have also been a few changes to the fine print.
In 2010, $3 surcharge for every delivery order, minimum order $18 for Jurong Industrial Area/Tuas/Changi/Loyang.
In 2011, $3 surcharge for web delivery orders, $3.50 surcharge for telephone delivery orders, minimum order $22 for Jurong Industrial Area/Tuas/Changi/Loyang.
Next, I compare the Happy Meal prices...
In 2010,
1)Hotcakes(2 pc)+ drink(Milk/Apple Juice/Coca-Cola/Iced Milo) $4.15
2)McNuggets(4 pc)+ side(Corn Cup/Apple Dippers/Meiji Yogurt/French Fries)+ drink(Milk/Apple Juice/Coca-Cola/Iced Milo) $4.65
3)Cheesburger+ side(Corn Cup/Apple Dippers/Meiji Yogurt/French Fries)+ drink(Milk/Apple Juice/Coca-Cola/Iced Milo) $4.00
In 2011,
No change in price for Hotcakes and McNuggets Happy Meal.
Increase $0.15 for Cheeseburger Happy Meal.
