Vtim 3rd Gear August 1, 2008 Share August 1, 2008 I got this email from a friend, not sure if it's true or not ====================================== Dear All............ Last week, I brought my guests to Genting Highlands. After a day 'above the clouds', we decided to have dinner at the Gohtong Jaya area 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 cos, 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. =========================================== any comment ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneve888 4th Gear August 1, 2008 Share August 1, 2008 Very true. My neighbour kena before. Chinese restaurant (or shd I say, kopitiam zhu chao stall). Cut robert with the stupid fish. Also warn some bros in another thread, but dunno if they patronised the stall or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ender Hypersonic August 1, 2008 Share August 1, 2008 I was thinking of eating there during Sept Genting trip, looks like I'll give it a miss That wil be a waste just becoz of a chain email. Along the trip from singapore to Genting, Gohtong Jaya is probably the last stop for a good meal before you enter the real chop carrot food court of genting highland. The poster didn't check before agreeing on the fish, and if you looked into the bill, the price of the other dishes are pretty ok. I didn't patroninsing the shop menitoned in the email, but another one which I can't recall the name. Usually spent about RM$50 for a meal(2 meat and 1 vege) for 3 person. No fish though. Beside can buy fresh fruits from there to bring to hotel. ANd just last year went in a group of 8 adults, and 2 children. More dishes with steam fish, not more than RM$200.

Beei 1st Gear August 1, 2008 Share August 1, 2008 (edited) Soon hock pricing is about S$6-10 per 100 gm.. But depend on how sotong and how carrot the person look also.. You know how some singaporeans like to show off at a foreign country.. Above is SG pricing.. May be cheaper a bit in Bolehland Edited August 1, 2008 by Beei Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
