Hot Topics on the Internet｜A Hong Kong woman was charged 900 for her own birthday cake. Netizens reacted with polarizing reactions. She was mean, vs. Western guest?
One of the biggest reasons to have dinner with friends is definitely one of them’s birthday. It is indeed a blessing to have a friend remember your birthday and help you order a cake to celebrate. However, if you sometimes want to cut the cake in a restaurant, remember to pay attention to whether there will be additional charges. Earlier, a Hong Kong woman said that she brought a birthday cake to celebrate her birthday with a friend. The restaurant originally said that it would charge a “cake cutting fee” of NT$100. At that time, the victim thought that the charge was reasonable and followed the table to eat. Unexpectedly, someone buried the door. Suddenly, the manager suddenly changed his story and said that he needed to charge a cake-cutting fee of NT$900 for a reason. The victim was so angry that he posted an explosive message.

Hong Kong girl The One celebrated her birthday with her friends at a restaurant that actually said it would charge NT$900 for cutting cakes.
Earlier, a Hong Kong woman posted a post on a social platform, pointing out that she was unhappy after patronizing a “check-in restaurant” in The One, Tsim Sha Tsui. She said that when she made a reservation at the restaurant, she had informed the staff that she would bring a cake with her. Because the dinner that day was all about celebrating a birthday with her friends, the restaurant staff said at that time that they would charge a cake-cutting fee of NT$100, and the victim agreed to this charge. Unexpectedly, on the night of the incident, the restaurant manager suddenly changed his story and said that he would charge 900 yuan for cutting cakes, which shocked the victim and the five members of his party.
1 reason why the victim ended up eating the cake after being charged a sky-high price
The victim said that in order to surprise the birthday girl that day, she specially prepared a “Cupcake Rotating Cake” as a birthday cake. In the photo, you can see 9 small cupcakes surrounding a thin circle, with birthday cards with the words “Happy Birthday” and “Happy Birthday” on them. Filled with candles. However, after seeing the cake, the restaurant manager made a special trip to their counter and told them that since there were “9 cupcakes”, the cake-cutting fee would be increased from the originally mentioned NT$100 to NT$900. He even suggested “Don’t eat it.” I won’t launder money.” The victim was very shocked at the time, and in order to avoid paying the sky-high cake-cutting fee, he finally “checked in two cards and found a place to eat some cupcakes.” It was quite disappointing.

Netizens’ polarizing comments and mean behavior VS Xike’s outrageous comments?
The victim’s experience has aroused heated discussions among netizens. Some netizens criticized the restaurant’s harsh practices, saying, “I charged nine even if I charged one,” and “the time was so bad.” They also pointed out that Cupcake “didn’t wash its knives.” Forks and plates, the collection must be so exaggerated.” “Even if I explain it clearly, it doesn’t make sense to collect the cupcakes one by one. It’s too mean.” Some netizens expressed their support for the restaurant, pointing out that “most of the menus have items written on them,” “you’re a weirdo if you ask me to bring nine items,” and “it’s not good to be a Western guest.”
