Bad Prawn Hawkers!

Prawn Hawkers suspended
Stall No 43 at Newton Hawker Centre overcharged a band of American tourists who ate there last Saturday night.
Now, Tanglin Best BBQ Seafood will pay the price: It must shut down for three months from April 1, and the worker who served the Americans cannot work there for one year.

$239 for 8 prawns does seem a bit steep. And that was less than half the $491 bill for a meal for six at a food court.
