She broke down her charges, saying that she was charged $20 for the fish egg (fish roe), $2 for the tofu and another $2 for the sambal goreng.
She purportedly bought her nasi padang from a stall at Bedok Corner.
Here is what she said

Netizens’ comments
- Stall owner should at least tell buyer before scooping the dish for her
- Fish egg/roe is already ex. Should ask the price before taking 1. Fish eggs are charged based on the size and what type of fish eggs they are.
- Sorry most nasi padang is expensive i agree but to scam people is not most…it could be an individual work that is working at that stall.
But for fish roe and other dishes to add up to 24 dollars is totaly absurd. How can u pay $24 straight up front for it if its true the price being told? Don’t u ask them whats the $24 add up to? If its true to what u say next time u have the right to not buy when the price is too expensive. - The owner should at least inform the price or we ask the price before we are getting it. I went to market and saw small size cost about $8 plus and fish egg eventually not cheap.
- Anyway thank you for sharing
- Kindly can share which nasi padang at bedok corner so that we can avoid in case we go down to patrol for food
