“Did I See Wrongly?” — M’sian Woman Stunned To See Petai Sold For RM113.90

T20 petai.
Petai, also known as stink beans, is an iconic ingredient in Malaysian cooking thanks to its unique taste and distinctive aroma that makes curries all the tastier.

However, it seems like these green beans will no longer be considered as affordable as global inflation continues to make its mark on everyone’s wallet.
