‘I Was Charged 1 Fish, 1 Meat for $3.80, According to the Receipt’ — Goh Meng Seng Shares F&B Incident

SINGAPORE: Goh Meng Seng, leader and founder of the People’s Power Party, recently shared a lighthearted incident he experienced at a food and beverage (F&B) establishment. In a Facebook post on Tuesday (April 11), Goh described how he was unexpectedly charged the wrong amount for his meal.

“I went to 140 Corporation Drive today,” Goh wrote, explaining that he thought he was taking advantage of a promotional deal offering “1 meat and 2 vegetables for $3.” He shared photos of his chosen dish, which included pork chop and two vegetable sides.

However, to his surprise, when it came time to pay, Goh noticed a discrepancy on his receipt: “Guess what? I was charged 1 fish, 1 meat for $3.80, according to the receipt! (Yeah, I made sure they gave me a receipt).”

He then approached the cashier to address the mix-up, pointing out that he had ordered pork, not fish. The cashier responded by explaining that “pork chop is $2,” which Goh humorously noted, saying, “Hahaha…Well, that’s from the horse’s mouth.”

Netizens chimed in with their opinions, with some referencing a recent post by People’s Action Party’s Sim Ann about budget meals that sparked online debate. Others pointed out the importance of ordering exactly what is specified in such promotions. One commenter remarked, “To prove the price is wrong, you should order the same dishes.”

Goh added further details, recounting how another customer with a chicken thigh and two vegetables was charged $3.30, leaving them equally amused by the pricing differences.

The post quickly gained traction online, sparking conversation around food pricing, promotions, and Goh’s good-natured reaction to the situation.
