Chap fan, also known as economy rice, is a popular meal option among Malaysians thanks to its wide range of dishes to choose from and reasonable prices.
Shockingly, this seemingly humble meal was what caused a woman to get scolded by her boyfriend, who felt that she was wasting money that could have been saved up for their future wedding.
M’sian woman scolded by BF over RM12 chap fan
In an anonymous confession made on the platform Dcard, the woman wrote that she went out for lunch with her boyfriend at a chap fan stall, where she spent a total of RM12 for chicken, tofu, and vegetables.
As soon as her boyfriend saw the price of her meal, he immediately became extremely upset and proceeded to berate her.
He told me, ‘Why can’t you take cheaper dishes? Don’t you know we need to save money for our wedding?’
“I was so shocked at the moment cause he made it sound as though I was eating at a high-class buffet. He even continued to nag me, saying that I didn’t know how to be a good girlfriend or pick cheaper dishes.
“I got scolded all because of a plate of chap fan. My heart is really troubled and I feel like crying,” she lamented.
‘Best to break up with him’
In the comment section, netizens expressed sympathy for the woman’s predicament and were concerned for what she might go through in the future given her boyfriend’s outburst.
One wrote: ‘Both of you aren’t married yet but he’s already so calculative. I don’t dare to imagine what will happen in the future.’
Another netizen had a word of advice for the woman: ‘Only one word: break (up with your boyfriend).’
Meanwhile, a netizen wrote that while he acknowledged saving money was a good thing, he felt that it could have been communicated in a better manner, adding that the woman will face many difficulties if she doesn’t iron it out with her boyfriend.
