Woman Orders Two Dishes for 150 Baht, Opens Bag to Find Shockingly Small Portions—Calls Restaurant and Gets Backlash
A woman received tiny portions after ordering two dishes for 150 baht through a delivery app in Southern Thailand, and faced criticism from the restaurant when she complained, sparking outrage from online users over inadequate quantities.
A Facebook user shared her experience ordering food through a delivery app and received portions that seemed disproportionately small for the price paid. The poster shared photos of two bags of food and wrote that she ordered duck noodles and pork belly rice through the app at 75 baht per item for a total of 150 baht, expressing surprise at never receiving such small portions before. When she called the restaurant to inquire, staff told her the delivery fee was deducted, leaving 49 baht per item, and suggested she visit the restaurant in person if unsatisfied.
The post attracted numerous critical comments from online users about the inadequate food quantity. Notable comments included: "Normally, whether selling in-store or through apps with delivery fees included, portions should be consistent—not reducing portions and then blaming the deductions"; "Looks like leftovers they're packing up to send home"; "Report this to the app"; "I ordered like this once, got the same result, and after posting a review the restaurant actually called to yell at me"; and "Even 49 baht seems overpriced based on what I'm seeing in the photos." The poster responded that she hadn't even eaten it yet—she'd just opened the bag and taken the photo.
