A Facebook user going by the alias of Joanne Yeo recently took to Facebook to complaint about paying $6.80 for one mouthful of noodles.
She had placed a delivery order for ‘Signature 85 Fishball Noodles’ from the Let’s Eat store at Seletar Mall and was ‘shocked’ when the delivery came with a very small plastic bag of noodles which could be held between her thumb and finger.
Here is her post
“$6.80 for a tiny 1 mouthful noodles!!”
Here are what netizens think
Many netizens who commented mentioned that the price of the noodles could be because she ordered the noodles via a delivery platform which usually marks the price up.
Some were also sarcastic saying that she ordered a budget meal and some also said that maybe it is ‘omakase’ size.
Here are some of the comments:
- Grab food price is usually more ex? If buy from the stall itself the price shud be lower.
- Children also not enough!! Ridiculous!! Complaint to the food center management!
- Alot food getting more and more expensive, portion getting lesser
- This is normal it’s because grab take commission from the merchant therefore prices are marked up on grab app
- Usually this kind of place cant expect much… Sure exp de! Delivery have more extra charges too..
- omakase size
- Price mark up is understandable but portion cant be smaller wat…
- Normal. Hawker food is for the rich.
- 2026 $2.50 budget meal noodle will be a mouthful
