We all know yong tau foo is a favourite Malaysian street food. It is made up of various ingredients, among them fishballs, sausages, tofu, dim sum, mushrooms and chee cheong fun.

Recently, a Facebook user shared her experience of paying RM94.20 for two bowls of yong tau foo at the food court of a mall in Kuala Lumpur.

Azura Baharudin posted on Facebook a photo of the bowls in question as well as the receipt.

According to the receipt, she was charged RM8.80 for three enoki mushrooms. Some pointed out that a packet of enoki mushrooms only cost RM1 at supermarkets.

She was also charged RM14.40 for three broccolis and quail eggs.

Azura remarked that when she bought yong tau foo for the whole family from a different place, it only cost her RM30.

She however noted that the yong tau foo at the food court was probably pricier taking into account the location.

Admitting it was her fault for not checking the price for each item before ordering, she advised others to take it as a lesson not to repeat the mistake she made.

Netizens who commented were also shocked at the price, with some saying that yong tau foo at food courts should not be that expensive.

However, some said considering the food court was located in a major shopping mall in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, that could be why the price was high.
