The approval for higher prices came after authorities agreed to review the cost structure of cooked foods, as factors such as daily wages, power bills, cooking gas prices and raw materials have changed over the past two years.
The government has capped the prices of 10 popular a la carte items including khao man kai (chicken and rice), khao rat kaeng (curry rice), pork noodles and khao kha mu (stewed pork with rice) at 35 baht a dish at food outlets since 2012.
