A Malaysian woman recently visited the Bazaar at Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman (Jalan TAR) in Kuala Lumpur and was shocked to pay RM10 for a cup of Asam Boi with lime. In her viral TikTok post, she shared that she asked the vendor for the price before purchasing, but the vendor ignored her question and only revealed the price after pouring the drink.

Many social media users expressed disbelief at the high prices, with one person mentioning they paid RM18 for noodle soup at the same location. Concerns about hygiene were also raised, with some users recalling past incidents involving vendors using pipe water and the cleanliness of the area.
One commenter suggested that Jalan TAR, once known for affordable goods, has now become a place for overpriced items, advising others to be cautious before making any purchases there.
