A woman from Johor couldn't believe that a soup she ordered at a restaurant contained a meager amount of seafood
Taking to a food-based community Facebook group to air her grouses, the customer said she had ordered a medium-sized seafood soup for the price of RM27 at a restaurant in Taman Pelangi, Johor Bahru.
The soup that arrived shocked her. She posted two videos showing how few ingredients there were in the soup that she was served.
To prove her point, she scooped all the ingredients out of the claypot and placed them into a bowl.
Her videos showed that there was only one prawn, one tiny slice of fish, some small pieces of squid, and a few lettuce leaves
"When the soup was served, we couldn't believe it, so we called the store owner to confirm. He told us definitively that this was a medium-sized seafood soup worth RM27," she wrote.
"The main question I want to ask is, if this is the restaurant's medium-sized soup... How do you divide one prawn between two people to eat?" she asked sarcastically.
She added that the restaurant only served medium and large-sized seafood soups, there were no small-sized ones.
The Facebook post has since garnered over 1,100 reactions and hundreds of comments from netizens who were also in disbelief
"Are those someone else's leftovers?" asked a Facebook user.
Another said, "The prawn and squid is so pitiful to see, and I can count the number of fish slices in there. That soup is not worth RM27."
Meanwhile, another netizen joked, "Hey, that's not even SGD9 (approximately RM31), it's cheap."
