A diner was left stunned after paying a whopping $294 for a plate of crab bee hoon at a Geylang eatery. In a TikTok video on Monday (June 29), the woman documented her dining experience which got off on a rocky start.Upon entering Sin Huat Eating House, the diner claimed that a staff member ignored her at first, later telling her she could leave if she was only ordering one dish. The restaurant owner was partially undressed when he was attending to customers, she added.Despite the awkward start, the diner decided to place her order. While she waited around 55 minutes for the dish to be served, the woman felt it was worth the wait.«Best crab we've ever eaten in our lives, the garlic made everything godlike,» she said. [embed]https://www.tiktok.com/@sgmustwatchla/video/7656802321107635463[/embed]When the bill arrived, however, the diner was taken aback.The single plate of crab bee hoon cost $294.
