FOOD REPUBLIC CHARGES $8.50 ECON RICE?? HOW RIDCULOUS IS THAT?
I’m appalled to be told by the cashier at Chinese mixed rice food stall my rice dish costs a whopping $8.50 for my rice dish. This all happen last Wednesday at Food Republic in Wisma Atria.
I asked her if she has made a mistake? Afterall my food selection was anything but fancy: bean sprouts, sambal binjal, bean curd, long beans, the only minor luxury on my plate was a spicy squid dish.
She handed me the receipt and I saw that each vegetable choice costs $1.20 and the squid is at a ridiculous price of $3.00.
While ordinary people like myself cry out for high inflation rate of 6% and rising transport, grocery prices I find it appalling that a reputable food court like Food Republic endorses an over rated, over priced food stall that is in my opinion “day light robbery”.
I was pissed off, upset, very close to telling the stall holder they can have the dish back and that I refused to be overcharged.
Despite that I paid went back to my table and told everyone around me what happened, including 4 total strangers sitting next to my table who all concurred with me. My sentiments that Food Republic is a rip off is NOT ALONE.
This will be my last visit to Food Republic ever.
Food Republic, please can you comment on how you allowed such a stall in your premises in the 1st place??
