| The restaurant asked a group of Japanese female tourists to pay the $680 bill for a 3,500 gram dish |
Recently, a Japanese woman who visited Singapore with her friends was shocked to see the food bill at a restaurant there.
According to a New York Post report, the female tourist, who was billed $680 (200,000 Pakistani rupees) for a plate of shrimp, called the police.
Singaporean lifestyle website 'Asia One' wrote that the Japanese tourist said: "I was not properly informed about the price of this dish by the restaurant staff."
Japanese tourist Jinko Shinba was dining at the Seafood Paradise restaurant on August 19 when she realized that the prawn dish she ordered cost around $680 (2 lakh Pakistani rupees).
Ginko Shinba explained to police that he ordered the restaurant's "popular Alaskan King chili dish" after a waiter recommended it.
The Japanese tourist claimed that she was not even informed of the total weight of the crab before the dish was prepared. You were told to do.

"We were all shocked when we saw the bill for this dish as none of us knew that the whole crab would be cooked just for us," said a 50-year-old man in the group of four tourists.
The restaurant staff explained that "the group was not overcharged". The staff also showed them the receipt of another customer who ordered a similar dish.
After some discussion, restaurant management reduced his bill by $78 'in the spirit of charity'.
A Paradise Group representative later said: "We stand by our staff on the issue that customers were clearly informed of the price and weight of the Alaskan king crab before ordering."
