How much would you pay for a good meal?
$5? $50? $500?
While some people would rather save their money and compromise a little on taste, others are willing to fork out obscene amounts of cash just to titillate their taste buds and satisfy their over-particular mouths.
But even those with expensive taste will collapse to the ground in shock after seeing how much one Malaysian influencer paid for a dinner in Tokyo, Japan.
M’sia Influencer Shares Receipt of a S$55,000 Meal for 5 People in a Japan Restaurant
Cathryn Li, the Malaysian influencer who thinks all M-sized girls are fat, has hit the headlines once again.
The 31-year-old recently dined at a restaurant in Tokyo, Japan, and shared a receipt of the meal with her followers.
In total, the dinner for five came up to JP¥4,321,590, which is a staggering S$55,130.52.
This means each diner had a meal that amounted to around $11,000.
According to HK101, Li dined at a restaurant called Kawamura in Tokyo, an introduction-only restaurant that is essentially an intimate clubhouse for beef connoisseurs.
The steak there is reportedly so tender you could slice it with a spoon.
Li told HK101 that she had been on the restaurant’s waiting list for three years before she finally got the chance to dine there with her family.
The only problem was that she didn’t know how much it would cost.
“After being on the waiting list for three years and seeing that prices are not listed on the menu, I thought it might be awkward to ask how much it costs,” she reportedly said.
The influencer initially thought the meal would cost around JP¥400,000 (S$5,103) but later realised she had missed out a zero.
That’s not exactly an insignificant difference.
Li commented that the food was “very nice”, and that the family also purchased two bottles of wine, which cost JP¥1,000,000 (S$12,774.48) each, to wash down their meal.
So, what did they eat?
Well, have a look:
I can’t say I can identify every single food item pictured above, but I’m pretty certain that beef was involved.
When Li was asked if she exceeded her credit card limit for the meal, she simply replied that she has no limit on her card.
Called M-sized Girls “Fat”
If you found Li familiar, that’s because she sparked an online outcry back in Oct 2019.
Back then, Li shared a post on Instagram asserting that in Asia, if you wear clothes that are size M, you’re basically obese.
Netizens were understandably outraged, and slammed the influencer for body shaming.
Li deleted her Instagram page at the time, but has since returned to the platform.
At the time of writing, Li has 1.8 million followers.
In addition to enjoying expensive meals, the influencer also does ballet and plays the piano.
