A customer recently took to an online forum to voice his disappointment over the size of the chicken strips in a meal he purchased from Fun Toast. On Wednesday, January 22, the diner posted a picture of the Shredded Chicken with Macaroni dish, which cost S$6.30, on the r/SingaporeEats subreddit. In his caption, he pointed out the disparity in size between the thin chicken strips and the thicker noodles, stating, “Can you see the chicken meat? Even noodles are thicker than the super thin chicken strips…”
The post quickly attracted attention from other Reddit users, sparking a lively conversation about the quality and pricing of meals. One commenter criticised the dish as “over-priced and poorly put together,” advising the diner to spend his money elsewhere. Another user joked, “They stripped the chicken strip,” while a third speculated that the issue might be unique to this particular outlet, noting that other locations of the same brand offer more generous portions of chicken.
A fourth user shared their experience with similar eateries, mentioning that some outlets of Qi Ji and Saap Saap Thai serve more substantial meals, while others seem to “cheap out” on ingredients, a trend that appears to depend on the staff working at the time.
The complaint comes amid increasing concerns in Singapore about “shrinkflation,” where consumers notice that portions are shrinking while prices remain unchanged or even rise. This issue has gained traction on social media, with more people expressing frustration over what they perceive as a decline in value for money. One user recently shared their disappointment after paying S$8.70 for a rice meal that was much smaller than expected, igniting further discussions about portion sizes and pricing.
