A man said he is now “scared of going on dates” after a woman ordered a $741 meal on their first date, let him foot the bill, and requested that he book a $42 Grab ride home for her.
On Oct 12, Reddit user @vagli shared the experience in a post on the Singapore speaks subreddit, claiming that he had met the woman on a dating app and decided to go on a date at a restaurant of her choice.
She opted for Imperial Treasure Fine Teochew Cuisine, a one-Michelin-star Chinese restaurant located at ION Orchard.
On the day of the date, he booked a private-hire car and stopped by her workplace to pick her up at her request.
At the restaurant, she apparently handed him her bags and asked him to carry them. The woman also ordered food for both of them, choosing dishes he described as “expensive things”:

As it was his first time at the restaurant, vagli was unfamiliar with the prices and went along with her choices.
The bill amounted to $741, which the man paid for.
She then requested a Grab ride home, which cost $42 as her destination was “very far” from the restaurant.
Despite it being the “most expensive first date ever” for him, he said it “still didn’t feel bad” and wrote it off as her “enjoy(ing) expensive stuff”.
