“During the inspection, two officers in plain clothes made a ‘test purchase’ of the food and drinks complained by the netizen before other uniformed officers came to carry out further investigations,” he said.
The inspection, he said, found that the price tags at the restaurant were incomplete and did not state the additional charge for the food that the customer wanted to add.
They also found that the restaurant failed to put price tags on two canned drinks sold on the premises.
The restaurant was then compounded on the spot amounting to RM200 for offences under the Price Control and Anti-profiteering Act 2011.
