Economical rice stall at SGH charges me $6.50 instead of $4.80 stated on menu
Workers at the economic rice stall in SGH are extremely unreasonable, says STOMPer Shao Hong, who says he was overcharged for a plate of three vegetable dishes and one portion of fish.
Although the menu at the Singapore General Hospital foodcourt stated that a plate of rice with three vegetable dishes and one meat dish cost $4.80, he was charged $6.50 for the same combination of food without any rice.
The stall holders insisted that they had told him and his friend about the price difference but Shao Hong says that they did not.
Upon learning about the difference in price, they wanted to add rice to their plates but was told that it was too late as the plate was already full.
In an email dated December 21, an angry Shao Hong says:
"My friend and I were at Kopitiam @ SGH this afternoon.
"We opted for three vegetable and one fish (normal sweet and sour fish) without rice and were charged a ridiculous $6.50 each!
"What a rip off!!
"It was clearly stated on the menu that Three vegtable and one meat portion with rice costs $4.80.
"We asked why it was so expensive and the cashier said, 'Oh, my colleague didn't tell you about the price just now? You should have ordered rice, it wouldn't be as expensive.'
"So we decided to add rice but the auntie claimed there was no space on the plate!!
"Still in shock and not knowing want to do, we paid for it.
"When we went to clarify again, they insisted they told us about the price. The auntie was so rude! Even the two helpers told us they had informed us but they really didn't!
"Please don't eat there.
"A few of my friends encountered the same thing too! "
