Expressing her disbelief, the netizen mentioned that it was her first time encountering such an expensive plate of fried rice. She even confirmed the price with the stall owner, who justified the high cost by citing the expensive price of prawns.

I’ve never experienced such a toothache before. How can a plate of fried rice with only six ordinary prawns and rice cost RM40?”

The netizen further revealed that when she and her friend placed their order at the restaurant, the stall owner inquired if they were locals. This made the netizen suspect that the stall owner intended to deceive non-locals by charging them exorbitantly.

Netizens cry foul over price

The post has since garnered significant attention from netizens, with many sharing their own encounters of overpriced dishes and advising others to be cautious when dining out.

One netizen commented, “I once bought a packet of fried kway teow at a different place, gave them RM50, and they returned me RM14. The packet only cost RM36. Unbelievable!”

Another wrote, “Did they ask if you wanted to add more shrimps? Or did they charge you extra for something else? I’ve been ripped off before too…now I always check the prices or directly ask before placing an order.”
