😲 Some restaurant diners at Orchard Road were shocked that they were charged S$72 for a plate of "dou miao".

The restaurant apologised for any miscommunication & explained that the pea sprouts dish was an "off-the-menu seasonal item".

The advice is to check every item of the food they served, sometimes there may be a misprint, and the diner is  made to pay for the restaurant's mistake....

Lucky didn't ask for plain water....1 cup easily $20 now.

糯米茶 I buy $30 can last me 30 days. They actually charged $30 for that one meal. Really chop carrot.

All these are overcharging, and expect the  diner not to check of the food items, and just pay what is reflected in the bill........

On taking a second look at the restaurant, it is Paradise Teochew. Strange. I ate there many times yes it's expensive but don't recall it's that expensive.

The restaurant is trying to pull a fast one, hoping that the diners would not microcheck the bill and just pay what is reflected in the bill....

Dou Miao got season?

I can grow my own and wait 18 days to harvest

[sgbuffett]

Inflation ....what do you expect.

Inflation ....what do you expect.

Even with inflation the cost of the vegetable dish should not cost $72.00........

Yah, this is damn easy to grow. If I recall correctly can harvest after 1 week or so. Looking at this price, I better start growing again.

Lesson Learnt-

Go Hawker Ctre & Coffee Shop, never order fish

Eat in restaurants, do not eat vegetables!

[Sticw]

Knn... $72 bucks for one plate of veg is nothing more than treating customers as cabbage head...

Consumers should all gang up to boycott such restaurants. Come up with a listing to show some consumer power since CASE and our govt will not step in to address such stuff...

I ordered 6 dishes in a restaurant in Chengdu. Got meat, 2 veg, century eggs, peanuts and soup. The portion is so huge can easily feed 10 person instead of just me and gf. Oh plus 2 soft drinks.

Bill RMB 60. That's just $12!

Only in SG every business try to fleece consumers.

It is those big leaves type. Market is selling $5 for one big packet.

The price is many times more than usual but the person taking the order did not even inform the customers only when the payment was made. This is totally unethical and should be made known to the F& B Restaurant Association.

Actually those frequent such restaurant would have know kailan tend to be overcharged one so normally will avoid.

Don't say restaurant, even those wanton and cheeken rice stall that got offer oiled kailan dish, also ish charge quite exp. 1 pax portion in a small plate can easily cost $3 or more.

It is the management that needs to answer for this foul up.......

[mrclubbie]

looks like eating meat is cheaper these days

but anyway, should check and clarify on the spot and not when you have already finished the meal...

[drgn]

yes, agreed.

if management set up this scheme, it will lead to such things.
