Food blogger who demands free meal sparks outrage online

Was surfing online then saw this news in YAHOO

WOW.. really wordless after reading the whole article... being a food blogger means you can just make an appt/walk into a rest to eat happily.. bring people along when you wasn't invited to there to do any review or food tasting...

really bring bad names to those who really enjoy foods and sharing their reviews...

A young food blogger who demanded that he and his three companions be given free meals at an upscale restaurant in the Joo Chiat area has sparked a huge furore online.

The group of four had walked into Private Affairs, a small but exclusive eatery in Joo Chiat, for its Sunday champagne brunch promotion that costs S$68++ per person.

The blogger in question, Brad Lau, who runs a food blog called Ladyironchef, had informed the management on Friday that he would be coming down to review the Sunday Brunch promotion.

On the day itself, he and his partner came down at about 130pm, followed by his two other companions, each of whom came down half an hour apart.

The four of them had brunch until 430pm, even when the restaurant’s official brunch hours was from 1130 am to 330pm. Brad and his partner also enjoyed two glasses of champagne each.

When presented with the final bill of $435, the blogger initially refused to pay and repeatedly told the restaurant’s chef, “I never pay for food in any restaurant.”

The restaurant eventually offered to waive off the cost of the meal for him and his partner as well as the cost of the champagne out of goodwill, thus lowering the bill to $159.

Still upset but finally relenting to pay, the blogger then threw his credit card onto the bar counter in front of the cashier before storming out.

  2. IMO... even if he doesn't pay for his OWN share cause he doesn't have to pay for it in any rest. who wavied it off for him.. doesn't his 3 other friends have to pay for their own?

    like u said.. read with a pinch of salt...
    wait for the blogger himself to add a dash of pepper then.
