A customer was surprised that the economy rice he had ordered at Mayflower Market & Food Centre came up to $14.He'd pulled out a $10 note from his pocket to pay for his plate of 'cai fan', but was shocked to discover that his meal cost $14.
Noting the peak lunchtime period and a long line of customers behind him, Chen chose not to dispute the amount and just paid."She told me the french beans was more expensive, then stated that the fish was $8 and the vegetable and egg dishes are $2 each," said Chen.Chen told Shin Min that he regularly orders meat and fish dishes from economy rice stalls and would usually be able to estimate the total bill.
"The stall owner might have increased the prices of the other dishes I picked just because I ordered fish," Chen said.Speaking to Shin Min on Saturday, the owner of Ah Jie Mixed Vegetable Rice, Porridge recalled that Chen had returned to enquire about the pricing. Another member of the public, surnamed Li, said the problem can be avoided if stallholders inform customers of the price beforehand.
