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.... Angry

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

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.... Angry

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

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!

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.

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. Sad

There was a time when the country asked ordinary men to do extraordinary things.

But now, they'll only do it for money.
