FORT by Maison Ikkoku, a fancy restaurant-bar located at Fort Canning that offers S$98++ 12-course Japanese omakase meals, has mocked a customer who left it a poor review online as a crybaby and told him not to eat there if he cannot afford it.

The issue began when the customer, Benedict, left this review on FORT’s Facebook page, rating the restaurant 1 star out of 5. The review, which was posted on 12 March, has since been removed from the page but screenshots capturing the exchange between FORT and Benedict have been floating online.
