Mr Jim Davis posted a video on Tuesday (Sept 6) showing a bowl of curry being stirred, and only a few vegetables can be seen in the bowl.
“$9.80 for plain fish curry. I guess the fish in picture is for illustration purpose,” he wrote.
Mr Davis also posted a receipt from the restaurant where he had placed the order, which showed the price of the curry, as well as a screenshot of the menu page for the dish.
The photo showed a large piece of fish, some slices of tomato, coriander leaves and other greens.
There was a big difference between the video and the advertised dish.
The name of the restaurant was not indicated in the post, however.
“How is it possible come with curry without fish?” asked one netizen.
Others commenting on his post agreed that the price was too high for the “fish curry” he received.
Others encouraged him to contact foodpanda, which had facilitated the order, as perhaps the seller had merely made a mistake.
One joked that “maybe delivery guy” had eaten the fish already.
“Maybe (it’s) fish curry with chicken,” another said.
When one commenter suggested that the “fish curry” was actually free curry with prata, Mr Davies clarified that he did not order that.
TISG has reached out to Mr Davies.
UPDATE: Sept 8, 2022 (10am)
Mr Davies told TISG that his order had been placed via foodpanda.
“When the order came, everything seems complete and the fish curry was packed in a plastic bag, so it was impossible to tell the fish wasn’t included.
I ate the chicken masala first and kept the fish curry for the next day.
When I poured the contents out the next day, I realised there was no fish and took pictures and video,” he told TISG, adding that he reached out to foodpanda but was told they could not do anything since a day had already gone by since the order was placed.
He also said that foodpanda has not reached out to the restaurant, and he has not heard from the restaurant either.
“I have no idea if they had forgotten to include the fish, or it’s supposed to come without the fish. If it’s the latter, then the fish picture on the food apps is misleading, plus $9.80 for just gravy is too expensive.” /TISG
