Tourists were shocked after receiving dinner bill in this Singapore restaurant: they called the police
A scandal erupted in the Singaporean restaurant Seafood Paradise after a customer complained to the police about a too-high bill for a dinner at the establishment.
The man claims that he and his friends were not informed that the crab they ordered would cost as much as £560. It is noted that it was an Alaskan king crab. According to the tourists, they were speechless when they saw the final price of the dish, the Daily Star reports.
The total bill, which also included beer, water, fried buns, fried rice, wine, and vegetables, amounted to £786, including a 10% service charge. The angry tourists claim that they were not told that they would be charged based on the weight of the crab and that the entire crab would have to be cooked specifically for their table.
However, the restaurant responded on social media to this accusation. They shared footage from the restaurant's CCTV cameras, which, according to them, shows the staff explaining the prices in "detail." The tourist notes that the waiter recommended the crab, but allegedly did not clearly explain that it would cost £16 per 100 g.
The customers called the police, who arrived to settle the dispute. In the end, the restaurant manager agreed to offer a discount on the meal, although Paradise Group says it was a gesture of "goodwill" because one of the customers said he could not afford the meal.
