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.

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

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& BĀ 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.......

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...
