Clickbait af title ๐คฃ I thought the chicken is some golden goose
Normal lah with tabloid and netizen
Not pork eater but this reminds me of all the exasperated jokes about orang takde masa slip in secret pork because mahal lah bodoh. Pork and seafood = financial boobytraps at the hawkers/mamaks for sure, it seems like
That's the reason i rarely eat pork and seafood anymore, it's just expensive.
Context: this is chicken rice shop featured on Michelin guide, hence the ridiculous price.
Ignore the obvious siew yok, the herbal tea is also steep, that's the profit margin that funded the stall operators. And since it includes Service Tax, presumably their total taxable services exceeded RM1.5mil for a calendar year.
Yet, the furniture in the stall (or restaurant) are pathetic, dirty and all plastic, look at the plates, table, chairs....
The food stall / restaurant owner is a half Nigerian half Zimbabwean origin running a successful business here, making a great life here than his previous career in remote call center pretending to be Leonardo DiCaprio, or Justin Tremblay.
It's in Pudu. That stall or area is probably a tourist trap.
