When it comes to food courts, meals with exorbitant pricing aren’t all that uncommon. Just last month, a customer paid nearly S$10 for a bowl of fish soup in Sengkang.
A similar incident occurred recently at the Food Republic in Parkway Parade.
This time round, a man paid S$20.20 for his meal at the food court.
The ingredients involved a serving of fish, which cost him a staggering S$6.50.
On Friday (11 Aug), the OP posted a picture of his afternoon meal at Parkway Parade to Complaint Singapore on Facebook.

His food contained a side of vegetables, seafood, beef and fish. While the rice with vegetables and seafood cost S$8.20, the beef and fish had a price of S$5.50 and S$6.50, respectively.
All in all, the meal was S$20.20, according to the receipt in the picture.
Upset at the price, the OP lamented in the caption that “inflation had arrived” in Singapore.
The post has since gained a fair bit of attention on Facebook, with many expressing their shock at the pricing of the meal.
One user labelled is “ridiculous”, noting that a price range of S$10 to S$13 would have been more reasonable.

Another suggested that going to a restaurant instead would have probably been more worth it.

However, there were those who noted that locations such as Parkway Parade usually had higher pricing for their meals.

As such, a simple plate of cai png would be far more expensive than what customers were usually prepared for.
