The RM100 total for two plates of rice and dishes that shocked netizens was fair. And it is not even an offence on the part of the outlet, said the Pahang branch of Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Minist­ry (KPDNKK) director Sharuddin Jali.

Last week, a woman uploaded on her Twitter account that she had to fork out RM100 for a meal she had with her husband at a shop in Jalan Leban Chondong, Kuala Rompin.

The woman uploaded a photograph of the receipt and the meal, which included two prawns, with the comment: “Is the price of the food at this shop really like this? Or did my husband eat a mermaid?”

Investigations found the charge reasonable as the price of prawns was according to their grades, as displayed in front of the restaurant.

“The restaurant stated that the prices would be according to the sizes of the prawns served, which ranged from RM50 to RM100.”

He said no action would be taken against the outlet owner as “he did not commit any offence”.

He also urged the public to check the price list or enquire about the prices of food items before placing their orders.
