Food Republic $$$$

Why so expensive? $35 for just 2 plates of duck rice and 2 plates of wanton mee
STOMPer Serene was appalled that a foreign cashier at a roasted duck stall in Food Republic foodcourt in Suntec City charged her $35 when she ordered only two plates of duck rice and two plates of wanton noodles.
Said the STOMPer:
"We ordered two plates of duck rice and two plates of wanton noodle, but were charged for two plates of roast duck, two bowls of rice, two plates of char siew noodle and two bowls of wanton soup.
"We weren't even informed that the wanton noodles came with char siew.
"When we asked the staff about the bill, the cashier said, 'It's like that.'
"We couldn't do anything about it as the cashier told us that the food had already been prepared.
"Everything happened so fast!
"The staff had served us the food in a different manner (separate portions) so that they could earn more.
"We were ridiculously overcharged!

-
but it's bloody expensive lah... and the way they charge abit bad for business practise... and clearly left a bad taste in the customer's mouth...
for example you order duck rice from me... I charge you $20... and breakdown as follows.
Rice - $1
Duck Meat - $5
Duck Skin - $3
Duck Bones Removal - $2
Plate (To put the food) - $6
Soup - $3
Spoon & Fork - FREE!!!
Not nice right?

The reason is due to the food court location and their rent that make the stall holder raise price. Also didn't you know that now world is having food shortage which is another reason why food price rise : http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_748816.html

Generally Food Republic are much more expensive when u compare them to other food court like "Banquet" "Kopitiam"(the food court kopitiam, not under HDB kopitiam)... -
Dont eat there anymore, and tell all your friends.
-
If the price of the food is not clearly stated, it makes sense to ask how much will it cost before confirming a order. But once you order, you are obliged to take the food and pay for it. Clearly Republic food court is not a regular standard type food court- it is definitely more pricey. Thank you for patronising Suntek City-helps them pay dividend for my REITs

stomper kena liao take it as a lesson learnt & next time don't go back there lor

Times are bad.

"This is Republic food court at 313 Somerset, the stall selling mixed rice is so expensive and I don't know how they calculate their food prices. I selected one salted egg and one fried potato and hotdogs and they told me $6.50."

you mean there's a food republic where the prices are "reasonable" or "cheap"?

You want to eat cheap Nasi Lemak or other cheap meal, just look for any nearby Ananas Cafe outlet and you will definately get an reasonable meal
