A Malaysian woman's visit to a famous local mamak restaurant in Kuala Lumpur turned sour when she discovered an unexpected charge on her receipt. Known for its affordability, the woman was shocked to find that each of the three roti canai she ordered to-go was accompanied by a RM0.40 packaging fee, adding up to a total of RM10.20.
Roti canai is typically praised for its budget-friendly nature, with prices as low as RM1.50 in certain establishments. However, this particular mamak restaurant raised eyebrows with its seemingly unusual packaging charge.
