With all the comments... i have to convince my MIL for an exception of the time-bomb in the house. =X

My place has no running gas, hence had to use the old days gas tank....

that's the same reason why i chose induction hob too. see the story in my t-blog:

actually running cost is very cheap for LPG tank, just that i really dislike the idea of having one at home

do take note on the power requirement cos from what i remember, most of the built-in induction hob can't be used in HDB remember to check before you buy~

yup yup that would be a headache... no one wants to have power trip that's also why i ended up with the portable induction hob. i elaborated in another post:

though your flat is old, was there any upgrading done before? you may check here to see if power supply of your flat has been upgraded by HDB:

if the supply is already upgraded, then concurrent running of induction hob + aircon should be less of a problem.

also, appliance with rating higher than 15amps power is not allowed in HDB. from my memory, many of the induction hob models are 18amps power rating, so cannot use at all only a handful are 15A or 13A~

if your area doesn't have gas pipe at all, citygas can't do anything... they even told me "unless they tear away the block and rebuild" LOL.... check my t-blog entry~
