A primary school canteen in Klang Valley has come under fire after netizens discovered the meals served were both unsatisfying and overpriced.
A viral post on platform X revealed that students were being charged RM3 for plain fried noodles and kuey teow served in shockingly small portions—with no sign of protein in sight.
The mother wrote, “This is the RM3 menu at my child’s school canteen. At first, I didn’t think much of it because my child brings a packed lunch every day.
But then I thought about other kids, and I felt bad. In my opinion, the portion doesn’t match the price. Or do you think it’s okay? Even the RM3 breakfast I get from regular stalls at the roadside is way more generous.”
Menu kat kantin sekolah anak I RM3 macam ni. Memula tak rasa apa sebab anak I memang bawa bekal hari hari. Tapi tefikir pulak anak orang lain, kesian pulak. Imo tak setimpal la portion dengan harga. Ke uols rasa ok? Warung biasa I breakfast RM3 pun meriah jugak pic.twitter.com/VMjEyzgqum

“Where’s the Protein?”
The post triggered widespread discussions, with many calling for an investigation into the canteen operator. Some urged authorities to ensure students are provided with reasonably priced, nutritious meals.
One netizen expressed their disbelief, writing, “Sis, please report this now before I go and report it myself 😭. This should only be RM1.50.
“Another thing, why is there no protein? Oh my God, I can’t stand seeing kids being treated like this. RM3 would be fine if there were some protein with this portion. But now, the portion is small, there’s no protein, and they’re charging RM3.”
“Bring this photo during the PTA meeting. The canteen coordinator teacher and administrators should deal directly with the canteen.
“We often take photos of the canteen food. We even take photos of the food given to students during sports events. It’s ridiculously expensive.”
Do you think RM3 is reasonable for the portions served? Share your thoughts!
