A man reportedly had to pay the price of a fish fillet for a hashbrown at a food court in Sengkang General Hospital (SKGH).
He had gotten the hashbrown as a side to his kway teow, along with some vegetables.
In total, he paid S$5.80 for his meal — with the hashbrown costing nearly half the price.
Unhappy with the apparent overcharge, the man wrote in to MS News to share his experience.

There, he purchased a serving of kway teow, a serving of vegetables, and one hashbrown from the Nasi Padang stall.
To his shock, the stall charged him S$2.40 just for the hashbrown. In total, his meal came up to S$5.80.
Calling the price “extremely ridiculous”, the man added that the stall had charged him the price of a fish fillet instead of the hashbrown he ordered.
In the image he provided, there was what appears to be a serving of stir-fried greens with carrots on top of some fried kway teow.

There was also some chilli on the side.
Notably, there was a single hashbrown nestling on top of his carbs.
While it could be possible for someone to mistake it for a fish fillet due to its shape, the chunks of potato peeking out along the surface are a dead giveaway as to the food item.
The man also provided a receipt of his purchase, which he made at 7.35pm.

For his meal, the receipt provided the following itemised prices:
The hashbrown the man got is seemingly nowhere on the receipt, even though it cost the man almost half the total price.
