In the comments, he clarified that the cai png cost RM25 (S$7.50) and the drink cost RM3 (S$0.90).
He warned other netizens to be careful of the stall, describing it as a “black stall” (黑店) — an establishment engaged in shady dealings.
Netizens joke that pork was imported from Spain
Some netizens asked Mr Chan whether he had heard wrongly, and the price was actually RM18 (S$5.40).
But he replied that he had asked the stallholder to confirm the price three times.
However, others opined that even RM18 was “expensive”.
Commenters joked that the pork he was served was that of Iberian pigs imported from Spain and treated similarly to wagyu beef from Japan, with the animals enjoying “air-conditioning, music and abalone”.
He was also advised to report the stall to the authorities, which could be done as long as he had a screenshot of the payment and a photo as evidence.
