MIL's birthday is just around the corner, so TT proposed to bring her to 四川豆花 at UOB Plaza for a nice dim sum lunch :)
We had the usual dim sum, 小笼包, 腐皮卷, 烧卖, 虾饺, la mian, 皮蛋粥, etc etc and enjoyed the nice river view from the restaurant situated on the 60th floor of the building. TT settled the bill and we continued to enjoy the very very smooth 豆花.
Being the usual nosy accountant, I asked TT for the bill to see how much we had eaten...HUH!!! My eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets... the bill totalled $331 and our dear Mister didn't even bat an eyelid when signing the bill!
The offending item read "xx飘香盒 $48 x 4 = $192"... I questioned the waitress and she said it's the TEA OF THE DAY and the tea was a very GOOD and imported exquisite tea! When asked why didn't she alert us of the cost of the tea when all we asked for was TEA, expecting the usual tie guanyin, jasmine tea, ba bao cha etc, she was speechless. Later she admitted that there was a mistake in our table invoice (tea of the day costs no more than $5-$6 per cup) and they waived off our tea charges to compensate for the error.
The bill came back looking more decent at $105... told TT that he has to eat up all the tea leaves and bring the tea cup back if it really costs $192 for the tea... we had a good laugh.. but TT remained convinced that the restaurant was trying to RIP us off and in his words... 黑店
pi pi and di di

How could a "tea" be so expensive...? Tea to be drank by a Dowager? Scary! Luckily it's really a mistake by the restaurant.
