Ngl, I would run too

[u/tpseng]

[u/TheLastTrueMalayan]

Why hear? It wasn't mentioned in the menu? Definitely avoid restaurants that don't state their prices.

[u/imtib → u/TheLastTrueMalayan]

I mean roadside stalls dont really have menu most of the time, idk maybe in a big city that wasnt the case cuz if im ordering a chinese fried rice i dont expect it to be more than rm8 so practically no menu needed. These roadside restaurants have the same menu anyway unless the name of the restaurant said otherwise

[u/BuDn3kkID → u/imtib]

Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 1967, learn it.

Not putting up prices is in violation of this law, and ignorance is not a defence.

[u/BuDn3kkID → u/BuDn3kkID]

The Act had been amended, it is now the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011 (PCAP) ( Act 723 ) which works alongside the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Regulations (PCAPR) 2018 being enforced by the latest iteration of KPDN.

[u/imtib → u/BuDn3kkID]

Damn you work in law or something? Not mocking btw, pretty big w to know something like this, cuz not everyone reads these types of thing unless they really want or need to... We prolly need more people like you in reddit

[u/BuDn3kkID → u/imtib]

It's a single Google Search away. If more people actually did the most basic of searches online and not just blab in the comments, we'd have less misunderstandings and arguments.

[u/imtib → u/BuDn3kkID]

Yea true, and importantly people also need to know that those things are a problem, like in my situation that things common and i dont know its wrong

[u/CN8YLW → u/imtib]

Usually if ordering from these stalls I'll ask the price first. Even if they sell CKT I'll ask what variety they have and how much is a plate.

[u/razirazo → u/TheLastTrueMalayan]

Probably expecting a big feast. Mana la tau sekali sampai rupanya sampah dalam sampan

[u/tomo_7433 → u/razirazo]

If i ordered a rm59 plate of char kuey teow and get that, I'd laugh and leave too

[u/FinancialMarketing34 → u/TheLastTrueMalayan]

Mann i was eating at mamak one day ( the vibe is not fancy or anything, looks like regular mamak but cleaner) and order nasi goreng 2 with 3 drinks. Imagine my surprise when the total come out to rm40++. Idk why is it so expensive, and surely no sane malaysian would ask mamak for menu😭😭

[u/Slow_Imagination_682 → u/FinancialMarketing34]

Not cheap compared to other cheaper mamak option but definitely not exorbitant. Maybe drink RM7 each and Nasi Goreng RM10 each.

[u/Lildev_47 → u/Slow_Imagination_682]

It depends on what drink he got, but if its like a teh ais and its not in a mall?

I gotta know what they smoking to have the delusion that they'll stay in business

[u/FinancialMarketing34 → u/Lildev_47]

Yea just some teh tarik and teh o ais. Plus the mamak was in tepi jalan too😭 a lot of people were there but now i think it was bcs the neighbourhood are m40 or sumn.

[u/Slow_Imagination_682 → u/Lildev_47]

Like I said, it's not cheap.

[u/JDeng78]

Day light robbery.

[u/salmonmilks → u/JDeng78]

robbing from both side

[u/Exciting_Sea7764]

Who runs the restaurant? Satan?

[u/Crazy-Plate3097 → u/Exciting_Sea7764]

3 star Michelin chef kut.

[u/sentinelbub → u/Crazy-Plate3097]

More like 3 star LingLong.

[u/iwilleatthat010 → u/Crazy-Plate3097]

3 tyre Michelin sized chef

[u/HongSayYong → u/Exciting_Sea7764]

Yahood. Also nice yakuza pfp

[u/wyyan200]

the list of stuff I can think of for RM59 in proper good quality restaurants... man

[u/FinancialMarketing34 → u/wyyan200]

For real. Bettet eat buffef with that price

[u/CasCasCasual → u/wyyan200]

Yeah, man...you could buy a better dish like...like in Kenny Hills or something.

[u/AfiqRyunosuke]

I would rob that kedai back

[u/Zorua0570]

Literally who give that seller the encouragement to sell 60 ringgit for a plate

[u/Practical_Dingo_905 → u/Zorua0570]

There’s tiger prawn on it maybe that’s why.

Even mamaks sell tiger prawn at crazy prices

[u/flying69monkey → u/Practical_Dingo_905]

Even if you sell the tiger prawns at RM 5 per piece, there need to be 10 of them inside to justify that. There is no way the is more then 3 in there

[u/Practical_Dingo_905 → u/flying69monkey]

Bro mamak sell tiget praw at RM12-15 a piece

[u/Cheap-Ad2945 → u/Practical_Dingo_905]

3 of em only RM 36 + rm 10 for noodles tha Rm 46 at max

[u/Practical_Dingo_905 → u/Cheap-Ad2945]

Char koey teow double and telur mata and 3 prawn

[u/BabaKambingHitam → u/Practical_Dingo_905]

Found the owner.

[u/MazinQuartz97 → u/Practical_Dingo_905]

All of them were sold like RM8 only, you dumbass.

[u/DangIt_MoonMoon → u/Practical_Dingo_905]

Complain to kpdn

[u/FaythKnight → u/Practical_Dingo_905]

Tiger prawns are cheap ass tasteless prawns. They are just big.

[u/UnemployedBehavior → u/Practical_Dingo_905]

Meanwhile the tiger prawn is not even bigger than my pinky finger.

[u/amely_5ai]

Dah la rege yahudi,

[u/Ha-kyaa → u/amely_5ai]

peak sticker

it's mine now

[u/Conjuras21 → u/Ha-kyaa]

U mean ours

[u/amely_5ai → u/Conjuras21]

[u/RaphaelSlader]

Sekali tengok ingatkan ketam, rupa rupanya udang. Running is the best choice but taktau lah in terms of law. KPDN la jawabnya

[u/Ambitious-Pea1606 → u/RaphaelSlader]

As long the food is not touched should be alright, amirite?

[u/JustOrdinaryUncle]

char koay teow RM59? hope every customer do what the person did, what a bullshit price

[u/CabinetInevitable730]

I think the more important question is where is this restaurant so that I can avoid it like a plague 

[u/CN8YLW → u/CabinetInevitable730]

dont just avoid it. Report it to KPDNKK for potential violation of the profiteering act.

[u/Outrageous_Flan3789]

I could eat a full meal with more varieties of food in less than rm59 at sushi mentai...

[u/Additional_Bit1707 → u/Outrageous_Flan3789]

Many buffets cost less than RM59.

[u/TheHasegawaEffect → u/Outrageous_Flan3789]

Can eat authentic ramen for that price.

[u/SkippableAt11thHour → u/Outrageous_Flan3789]

can eat for 3 full day with that amount, no drinks tho

[u/kimi_rules]

Report KPDN for not listing prices

[u/Conscious_Law_8647]

I would atleast leave RM7, then I run away

[u/deenali → u/Conscious_Law_8647]

Yup. At least you paid. Enough or not it's a matter of your price against theirs. Lol.

[u/Less_Section_4804]

If rm69 he might stay

[u/Firm-Measurement5079 → u/Less_Section_4804]

[u/A4li11]

RM59 for that?

Ngl can't blame the man for running away

[u/OwnDiscount3866]

you could get like 10 char kuey teow with that money

[u/Cells-Interlinked386]

This is char kuey teow.. not whatever that is..

[u/BabaKambingHitam → u/Cells-Interlinked386]

That is halalised ckt.

[u/SulkingOnion]

Malaysian come Singapore eat is it? Oh wait, still overpriced…

[u/wowbl]

In the pic, way too watery for a proper CKT

[u/chronicler44]

That don’t look like RM59 to me

[u/module6969]

makan air lol

[u/Honest-Head7257]

Daging babi kedai Non muslim lagi murah lagi berselera aku tengok dari kuey tiaw what the fuck is this price. With that rm 59 I could buy 3 dinner worth of meal from mamak stall

[u/everywhereinbetween]

lmao 

I ate Mdm Kwan fish soup with noodles + drink, also not RM 59. 😂

I would run away too and I earn in SGD dude. (RM 59 is SGD 18? Siao pls.)

This is like equivalent to those SGD 20 nasi padang at Food Republic 😂🤨😩

[u/rawrious]

is it kuay teow soup? or fried kuay teow?

[u/CucuMatMalaya → u/rawrious]

Malay style char Kuay teow....

[u/clip012]

Dah viral, KPDN melawat jap lagi.

[u/jxxnjie]

ridiculous. RM59 for what, only big prawns in there and the regular char kue tiau. I'm paying rm20 at most, and that's being generous.

[u/catlover2410]

Until it is served and eaten, customer have the rights to walk away.

[u/lebruo1621]

And he asked for support 💀

[u/chriselvin1025]

The only CKT i know is dry and is rm 11 max (coz tambah dua telur) 🤡

[u/Traditional_Bunch390]

Rm59 can have a very nice meal at Sushi Zanmai d. Ada aircon lg

[u/Rakkis157 → u/Traditional_Bunch390]

For 59, it's two meals, lol. Take away esok makan.

[u/[deleted]]

That disgusting looking dish is not char Kway teow

[u/pokegomsia]

I hope the owner goes bankrupt, this shit is worth RM 10 at best considering it comes from a small stall, not even a proper shop. Fuck him, saw the video about how entitled he is.

[u/Jaded-Currency-5680]

guys, chill

this is weirdkaya, all their "news" were imaginary and pulled straight out of their "journalists'" asses

[u/wotageek → u/Jaded-Currency-5680]

Well, in this case it's clickbait. Customer didn't run away after eating the food, he ran away before he even finish placing the order if you read the article. OP only put up a screen cap, Knn... 

Its not newsworthy aside from the ridiculous price. 

[u/Jaded-Currency-5680 → u/wotageek]

it really happened? thats a surprise

sorry didn't read the article, just my principal of avoiding any clickbaits as discouragement

so whats the proof or at least indication that anything is real? do we know the whos the customer or the name of the shop as reference? or source of this news?

[u/wotageek → u/Jaded-Currency-5680]

Video is on Penang Kini FB.

https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1186736050169715

Personally, I think what's truly outrageous here is calling that wet slop char kuey teow. Spoil name only.

[u/CoolWei2006 → u/wotageek]

That's why I always call them ckt "BASAH" cus it's the wet version. But a lot of ppl are dumbfounded and go "oh malay version of ckt and Chinese version of ckt" NAH bro one is literally wet. They fried the kuey teow then added the Kuah.

And tbh i prefer the wet version than the normal one (dry version)

[u/wotageek → u/CoolWei2006]

It's just kway teow basah. No char, don't add the c. 

[u/BabaKambingHitam → u/wotageek]

Wat tan hor.

[u/tyl7]

You call this wet dream CKT?

[u/GladeHeart]

Which one robbed?

[u/Just_Illustrator6906]

I swear this is just marketing content.

[u/Aiz8216]

Just run . Don't say a word 🤣🤣

[u/Consequence_Green]

[u/MalasAndALoser]

Where ? So I could evade this restaurant.

[u/pandancake88]

Semua guna bahan premium, bang.

[u/khxirvl]

NGL, me too

[u/Fickle_Efficiency681]

RM59 ringgit is like 12 Nasi+telur

[u/Decent-Ratio]

RM59 are worth 3 days of food, did the restaurant owners think they were some kind of luxury restaurant or something?

[u/Mr_Resident]

Do lloyd frontera run this stall or what lol

[u/CN8YLW]

if the price isn't listed on the menu, excessive pricing like this can be reported to kpdnkk. because there is no argument that can be used to justify the products cost to sale price ratio.

[u/HeroMachineMan]

The CKT dish must have been cooked by an Ah Long.

[u/NyesTart1399]

That sang har prawn, dayum

[u/JohnnyTeoss]

59 Ringgit for a Char Kuey Tau? Gilah lah! Sya pun lari oh.

[u/H3artmirror]

That is the right decision, I would not pay that too. Wtf

[u/Miro_Kun]

Is this Char Kueh Tiaw bonet for having this kind of price?

[u/ChangeEuphoric]

..Who on earth would charge RM60 for a simple dish like CKT..? Are they bonkers?

[u/Rakkis157]

RM49 I can just eat for a week. Like damn that price.

[u/No-Vanilla7885]

1 prawn = RM 5?

[u/FaheemZul]

This is why I always check prices first 🤦 This is a bad look for both of them

[u/Big_Goose_730]

I'd better shit gold after eating the char kuey teow that cost RM59

[u/bad2dbone3]

Saya saport. Mana alamat kedai?

[u/kinwai]

If uols watched the video, the gall on the seller to say “59 ringgit, bukan 59 ribu pun”

[u/gooie]

I think should clarify what kind of running away. If you ate it then run away, thats stealing.

But if you dont accept the quality or price and run away without eating, thats a business dispute (unless you do it just to troll the vendor then thats not ok)

[u/CN8YLW]

https://worldofbuzz.com/msian-stall-vendor-claims-arrogant-customer-bolted-after-learning-his-char-kuey-teow-special-costs-rm59/

Standard CKT + prawn + cockles + egg = RM59. Break it down please... standard CKT lets say RM8... prawn how much? It looks like standard prawn, and not the premium stuff like large size tiger prawn or anything, so average CKT seller will maybe charge RM5. Cockles? Come on la... how much can these be? Plus egg, telur Najib yang hilang ke?

And who posted this video? The vendor. This guy potentially violating consumer law in Malaysia, he dares post this kind of shit online for everyone to see. From the sounds of it, the restaurant didint dine and dash. He asked for price, then walked away when hearing the price without ordering. And from the looks of it, this seller has other customers with similar orders. So yeah, KPDNKK definitely needs to look into this.

[u/tpseng → u/CN8YLW]

I'm surprised KPDNKK haven't looked into it until now

[u/Playful-Ad-7277]

ewww why is char kuay teow so wet geli lah

[u/Purple-Juice7651]

Maybe after eating, got a free massage. Check the receipt tailo.

[u/erosannin66]

Even Singaporeans would think thats expensive lol

[u/LeJoker8]

Diu daylight robbery and that’s fucking kuey tiao basah la.

[u/Slebet]

his reasoning behind the prices is even funnier

[u/CucuMatMalaya]

JEMPUT LIHAT VIDEO DI KEDAI ITU

[u/NoPomegranate1144]

Thats like, three giant prawns. Those things cost like 8 rm raw.

[u/Many-Air5763]

Everyone saying that Rm 59 unfair but it depends on the type bro. If you put a lot of seafood the price will obviously go up as cost of seafood is high. Even in Nasi Kandar shop getting prawns will increase the price like that. But if that is the Char Keuy Teow then even Rm 15 not worth it. It looks bad
