He listed the dishes that he ordered, as well as their respective prices:

  • Fish roe — S$20
  • Tofu — S$2
  • Sambal goreng — S$2

In total, the plate of nasi padang allegedly set him back a whopping S$24.

The OP shared in the post that the hawker had warned him that the fish roe dish would be “expensive”, but it was apparent that the S$24 price tag far exceeded his expectations.

A cursory search online shows that fish roe is indeed one of the pricier dishes one can opt for with their nasi padang.
