What the fish! Diner cries foul after being charged RM600 for fish head curry
PETALING JAYA: A dinner for two families at a famous restaurant in Kuala Lumpur last weekend ended on a shocking note when the guests were presented with a massive bill for fish head curry.

According to a receipt posted on social media by one of the diners on Monday (Nov 20), the four bowls of fish head curry he ordered came up to RM600.
The sum translates to RM150 a bowl and excludes the cost of the other dishes and beverages ordered, which took the grand total to almost RM1,000.
"I think the charges were excessive. I have decided not to go to the restaurant again. All of you, please be careful," read the post which has now gone viral.
He said that this was not the first time that he had eaten fish head curry and that he was usually charged between RM50 and RM80 per bowl.
"I didn't look at the menu because I usually know the average price to pay. Even though I had budgeted for this meal, I was shocked to see the price of the fish head curry there.
"I asked the cashier to explain the bill to me. He said that the price of the curry depended on the size of the fish head.
"If the head is big, it will be priced between RM120 and RM150, while the smaller ones would be between RM60 and RM80," he said.
Faudzy, however, refused to accept the reason and claimed that the price was expensive due to the location of the restaurant in Kuala Lumpur's Golden Triangle.
The man, who is a director of market development at a company here, said he had no intention of lodging a complaint with the authorities.
"I decided to just pay the bill. I ate the meal, so there was no reason to not pay the bill. But I want to warn others so that they won't fall prey to this like we did.
"If you go to any restaurant, check the menu for the prices before making your order. You need to ask for the menu first, especially if you want to eat fish head curry," he said.
He added that restaurant owners play an important part in providing this service to their patrons.
"If a customer wants to order fish head curry, tell them the price range for the dishes – the prices for small, medium, and large dishes.
"The workers also need to explain this rather than just take orders, so that when people pay their bills, they won't be surprised," he said. – mStar Online

PETALING JAYA: Makan malam dua buah keluarga di sebuah restoran mamak terkenal di Kuala Lumpur, hujung minggu lalu dikejutkan dengan harga kari kepala ikan yang didakwa terlalu mahal. 
Berdasarkan satu resit yang dimuat naik seorang pengadu di laman sosial pada Isnin, empat mangkuk kari kepala ikan merah yang dipesannya berjumlah RM600.
Ini bermakna setiap kepala ikan berharga lebih kurang RM150, dan ia belum termasuk hidangan makanan dan minuman lain, menjadikan keseluruhan bil hampir RM1,000.
“Saya rasa caj yang dikenakan berlebihan. Saya ambil keputusan untuk tidak lagi ke restoran tu. Anda semua, sila berhati-hati,” menurut ‘posting’ itu yang kini tular.

Aduan seorang pengguna mengenai caj kari kepala ikan.
Pengadu, Faudzy Asrafudeen Sayed Mohamed, 56, ketika dihubungi mStar Online berkata, dia tidak menyangka harga makanan di restoran mamak tersebut semahal itu.
Katanya, ini bukan pertama kali dia makan kari kepala ikan di restoran mamak dan menjelaskan harga yang biasa dikenakan kepada pelanggan adalah antara RM50 dan RM80 semangkuk.
“Saya memang tak tengok menu sebab biasanya tahu purata harga yang nak dibayar. Walaupun dah ada bajet, tapi terkejut bila tengok harga kepala ikan macam tu.
“Saya minta pekerja di kaunter tu untuk perjelaskan. Katanya harga ikut saiz kepala ikan. Kalau kepala besar berharga antara RM120 dan RM150, manakala bersaiz kecil antara RM60 dan RM80,” katanya dengan nada kesal.

Resit bagi makan malam di sebuah restoran mamak terkenal.
Dia yang menetap di Melawati, Kuala Lumpur menolak caj berlebihan itu disebabkan restoran mamak berkenaan terletak di kawasan segi tiga emas di ibu negara.
Faudzy yang merupakan pengarah pembangunan pasaran di sebuah syarikat bagaimanapun tidak bercadang untuk membuat aduan kepada pihak berkuasa.
“Saya bayar sajalah. Takkan tak bayar pula, sebab dah makan. Tapi saya memberi peringatan kepada semua sebab tak nak orang lain pula yang terkena macam kami.
“Mana-mana restoran pun, periksa dahulu menu dan lihat harganya sebelum membuat tempahan, lebih-lebih lagi restoran mamak yang jarang sediakan menu dan harga. Jadi, anda kena minta menu terlebih dahulu terutama nak makan kari kepala ikan,” katanya.

Reaksi netizen mengenai dakwaan harga kari kepala ikan yang melampau.
Malah katanya, pengusaha restoran juga perlu memainkan peranan penting dalam memberikan perkhidmatan merkea untuk semua pelanggan.
“Kalau ada pelanggan nak makan kepala ikan, beritahulah jenis harga yang disediakan. Kalau kecil, sederhana atau besar berapa harganya. 
“Pekerja perlu perjelaskan tanpa sekadar ambil tempahan semata-mata. Jadi, kalau orang nampak harga bila nak bayar tak ada lah terkejut,” katanya.
