A disgruntled customer took to social media to express her outrage after purchasing a bowl of pepper soup for N6,000 from Hilda Baci’s restaurant, ‘A Food by Hilda’. The customer, who shared a video of the meal, was disappointed with the small portion size and claimed it didn’t match the high price.
In the video, the customer showed the small transparent takeaway container holding the pepper soup and questioned how a reputable restaurant like Hilda Baci’s could serve such a small portion at a premium price. She advised the restaurant to improve the quality and quantity of their meals to justify the high prices.
The customer’s complaint sparked a heated debate on social media, with some supporting her grievances and others defending Hilda Baci’s restaurant, arguing that high-quality dining experiences often come at a premium.
Some social media users shared their own experiences, comparing the prices of similar meals at other restaurants. Others defended Hilda Baci’s brand, stating that customers pay for the brand’s reputation and quality, not just the food.
