S’pore woman complains about S$6.30 cost of economic bee hoon with few dishes, netizens say delivery fee matters

Singapore woman allegedly pays S$6.30 for economic bee hoon with missing dishes

A woman in Singapore recently complained about the price of her economic bee hoon order.

On the morning of 21 Jan, she ordered two packets via GrabFood from an economic bee hoon stall in Marsiling.

According to a screenshot, the total order cost S$15.90.

However, when she opened the packet containing the rice, she found the contents very inadequate.

A photo posted on Facebook showed a packet of white rice with a piece of luncheon meat, an egg, and a small sausage inside.

“Seriously. S$6.30 for just this?” she complained in the post, further calling the shop “damn lousy”.

A shocked commenter called the price equivalent to “daylight robbery”.

The OP explained that the order included ikan bilis and nuts as well, but they were missing from the rice packet.

The commenter suggested that the stall probably forgot to add it.

A more critical user also claimed the food cost S$2 more due to it being delivered to her.

They said the OP got out of the situation with a free meal given the refund and felt that she should not lambast the shop further.
