Beware of Restaurant Trick

A few days ago I receive email from my friend. The email itself is about some unscrupulous restaurant who charge its customer excessively.
I don't know whether this story is true or just a hoax. But, whether it's true or not, we should learn to be more careful when we decide to take a lunch or dinner at restaurant.

Here's the story I got from my friend. (Attention : This IS NOT my friend personal experience. This is just an experience of other people forwarded between people by email / chained email. And the location is censored since we still can make sure 100% that this is really happened).

" Dear All............

Last week, I brought my guests to Genting Highlands. After a day 'above the clouds', we decided to have dinner at the [**CENSORED**] on the way down.

We ordered some dishes and decided to have a steamed fish as well. So the captain recommended 'sultan fish'. The steamed fish came. HALF, and plain steamed. Good & fine.

But when the bill came, it came to over $500 !! We were shocked !! We were told the fish was 1.4kg (& please bear in mind, its ONLY HALF A FISH ) at RM 320 per kg! RM 420!! This was daylight robbery.

We were not informed by the Captain that a kg of the Sultan fish would cost us RM 320 and there was also no signs of such pricings anywhere in the restaurant.

When we checked with the cashier, she told us, its correct !!

Of course, it was our mistake for not asking the price first.

Anyway, on the way back to KL, we stopped at Unique Seafood,PJ, where one can choose a live fish.

The most expensive Soon Hock swimming in the tank is RM135 per kilo. Asked them about the Sultan fish, it is going for RM100 a kilo.

Will be sending this letter to the newspapers, Tourism board, etc etc; and friends, pls pass on to all on yr email list.

CHEATED. "

END of Story.
