On Sat 24.apr.21, I was in a hurry to go to a place. I ordered food from Lucky Alley using food panda app so that I can pick the food up on my way to my destination without spending time to wait for the food to be prepared.
6 pm - We ate this chai tow kway for dinner after adding more vegetables to it and heating it up in a wok.
1.20 pm - our lunch of char kway teow.
Why is the char kway teow MYR 24 ?
After applying the pick up discount, the total is MYR 24.50 nett which is about MYR 12.25 nett per item which is an ok price so I continued to complete the ordering process and paid.
It is only MYR 11 before applying the pick up discount.
The app insists that I select all 4 extras. The "add to cart" button is not activated until I do so. As I am in a hurry I did just that in order to be able to add to cart the char kway teow.
But even after adding up all the price of all 4 extra items and MYR 11, it still is not MYR 24. Since the price I paid is just MYR 24.50 nett for both items, it doesn't matter to me that the original price of one item is MYR 24 so I let it go. What a mystery!

8.30 am - 2 of us shared this 3jc soup Mee hoon from choy kee. Lunch is dry wanton noodles from a nearby eatery.
6 pm - his dinner of remaining rice from the fridge stir fried with siew yuk bought for MYR 5 and an egg.
6.50 pm - my dinner of instant Quaker Oats with water and almonds. I also ate the dip from Belly and The Chef. The dip wasn't a mint dip as I thought. It is basil pesto sauce and I ate it all with half a slice of wholemeal bread.
Haven't had chai tow kway for so long now. Not many places selling here but we do have a few, not bad generally. My girl made kway teow so we had that the other day - post in my blog coming up real soon.
ReplyDeleteRead Melissa's kway teow post. Looks good. Here also I don't know where got sell this until I see on Foodpanda app.
DeleteSuddenly I want to eat all these goreng-goreng stuff. Hmm... that fried kway teow at RM24 is mysterious indeed. If not for the discount, you would have paid a bomb.
ReplyDeleteIf no discount, I won't buy la. No point paying 24 for ckt. So u go home goreng goreng and eat ckt?
DeleteYeah the price is a mystery. Agree that the final total is fine. So was it a luxurious CKT with all those compulsory add-ons?
ReplyDeletePesto sauce makes sense for salmon.
Won't call ckt luxurious unless got lobster meat or abalone big ones. Oh you agree pesto sauce goes well with salmon?
DeletePenang CKT RM24??? LOL! so overpriced! but anyway, as long as it is discounted then it is OK.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha I think it is jack up to cater for the discount.
DeleteThese few days, I did not order online, mostly homecooking for dinner and breakfast bought back by neighbour..
ReplyDeleteCos you got very good neighbors.
DeleteChai tow koay and char koay teow, they both look yummy.
ReplyDeleteOk, can eat la.
DeleteAfter looking at the pricing, Melaka food is no doubt cheaper. LOL :D
ReplyDeleteThis is not the standard price here so please don't judge all based on this price.
