$234 Mee Pok!

It could be the latest modus operandi cooked up by the restaurants to net the unsuspecting customers.

The next time the PRC or Hongkee waitress say they run out of fishballs, better run for your life - they may give you abalone balls instead.

Just counter saying "balls to you" with two middle fingers and run away.

Next time, if you have to dine there. Better don't even order extra white rice, or even water.

Who knows what may comes with these item and cost you a bomb.

Better order an extra waitress to sit and eat with me.

That is the priceless Imperial Treasure everyone is looking for. Like the elixir, the fountain of youth, dragon's armpit, etc.

you mean pubic hairs?..one sniff, you are embracing ambrosia?

Interestingly same restaurant no comments along the line that if you cannot it afford it you should not enter.

Singaporeans as forummer Metadata pointed out are meek and are scared to speak out. Then we have Singaporeans who don't even know when they have been cheated.

Till today Tourist are fleeced by select electronics stores from Sim Lim Tower to Orchard Road. There is no will to tackle these.

Where is that white knight from Case MIW Yeo guat Kwang?

As usual, buah bodoh?

MIWs are even more expensive. They come with million dollar price tags and give you total indigestion with their verbal diarrhoea. If you protest too much against the service they give you, they can even include a free stay at Changi for as long as they think you deserve it.

Caught off guard.....the restaurant uses lobster that can predict the next world cup winners...that is why the mee pok cost $234...

MY FAMILY had a similar experience at Super Peking Duck Imperial Treasure on Mother's Day as reported last Thursday ("Flap over a fish... that costs $1,224").
We were having lunch and wanted to order seafood hor fun to complement the meal which cost about $25. The waitress informed us that they had run out of the dish and suggested we try the mee pok, one of their signature dishes popular with many of their customers.
While waiting for our food, we noted that there was a lobster dish yet to be served. We highlighted to the waiting staff that we did not order any lobster dish. The waitress came and said that the mee pok came with the lobster.
We said we had no idea that the noodles came with lobster and that it would cost $234. We asked for the order to be cancelled. However, she said we could no longer cancel it.
When we asked why the price or the fact that the dish contained lobster was not communicated to us, the waitress said that it was not their policy to state the prices of their dishes unless asked.
If lobster was the main focus, should this not have been highlighted to us? Even the way the dish was recommended to us emphasised the noodles.

Though it's certainly not in order for the restaurant to serve and charge for the lobster, the most amusing thing is that this family actually went to Super Peking Imperial Treasure Restaurant to eat meepok and horfan.

Irony is they probably would have paid less if they just ordered lobster.

Nobody goes to a restaurant or even a hawker center to sip on expensive garnishing without rice or noodles.

Just ask for the lobstaer, with the garnishing, rice & noodle are optional....but mee pok with lobster at that price....:p

No I was saying the lobster is the cheap garnishing while the mee pok is the actual Imperial Treasure that costs $234.

ha ha ha the mee pok...hand made? with gold flakes???

 

[manokie]

Consumers be smart

Ask for the price before you order anything

No money? Then don't act like you can afford everything

Ask them. They know best.

I heard rumors that the mee pok was once served to a visiting Dragon King* and was therefore called an Imperial Treasure, which also gave the restoran staff the necessary spiritual confidence to charge a heavenly price per serving.

*Whether He really ate it we don't know.

This is unethical business practice by the establishment. CASE has no bite and will not bite the hand that feeds it. Simply boycott the place and ask your friends and all to avoid it like the plague.

Of course Vivian B would say: So you want to eat in restaurant?

 

[scroobal]

Solution is simple. Legislate menu with price to be displayed at the front like many countries.

The next time you order golden prawn, it will literally be gold dust and - not gold colour from the cooking palm oil.
