Later u kena a golden fish then u know...
The recent controversy involves a 35-year-old diner, Mr Liu, and four friends who feasted on a steamed fish dish called the white sultan fish at the high-end Feng Shui Inn restaurant on June 12 at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS). Upon receiving the bill, his jaw hit the ground. What seemed like a simple dish ended up costing a whopping S$1,224.
This fish is made of gold eh?$1224 can eat how many steam fish siah!? Somebody got carrot-ed big time.
So is S$68 per 100g for a sultan fish a reasonable amount?
A quick comparison with Capital Restaurant, which has been selling sultan fish for 36 years, reveals that the dish can go for as low as S$6 per 100g. This is less than a tenth of Fengshui Inn’s price tag on the fish.
Needless to say, a big fuss was made, and a mere 15% discount was given...
And after the woohaa was made public, another chef apparantly said:
“The flesh is tender and snow white. It’s a wild river fish, so it eats fruits that drops from trees and bears the fragrance of fruit,” Chef Huang Ching Biao, 58, kitchen operations director at Jin Shan restaurant at MBS told The New Paper.Which sounds like big time BS...
But despite its draw, both chefs added that they have not come across any commanding such a high price. One seafood distributor known only as Mr Lee even described the price of the fish at Fengshui Inn as “outrageous”.Which sounds about right to me....
