So I was having dinner at a economy rice shop in Pudu, when I heard people quarrelling at the counter.

One guy, maybe late 40s not happy with the price. Cashier say because a lot of pork. I did see with my own eyes and yup, thats a lot of meat, almost half plate. But guy still not agree.

So supervisor come out, say “okla we charge by weight”, then proceed to fire up an electric scale on the counter. Yeah, the price is not too far off (Around RM16)

Now here’s the thing. The electronic scale is already on the counter right from the start, meaning this is not the first time and the shop already prepared for this shit!

So yeah, whats up with Pudu folks?

I suspect most economy rice shops have a scale on standby in case got difficult customers like this haha

Somehow reminded me of Nasi Kambing 40 Hari in Johor, where they weighed absolutely everything including the rice, for every customer, though I guess this is for a different reason.

Perhaps if they count by the piece he would be charged more.

But I wonder if they weigh the entire plate, how does the calculation go? Or they pick out only the meat and weigh them?

  Pick out meat piece by piece. I’m serious! 😂

    Fair game. Tbh pricing for economy rice can be opaque, and by law they should have a price list for each dish they serve. I just don’t see the point of having a scale on standby haha.
