Mumbai hotel charging Rs 1,700 for two boiled eggs

If you remember, a couple of weeks back Bollywood actor Rahul Bose trolled a Chandigarh-based luxury hotel for charging Rs 442 for 2 bananas. In the same league, recently a Twitter user showed bill of Mumbai hotel charging Rs 1,700 for two boiled eggs, where he also tagged Rahul Bose, asking if they should launch a protest on the subject.

FHRAI’s take

This incident might remind you that the Federation of Hotel and Restaurant Associations of India (FHRAI) had justified the high price. “A hotel offers service, quality, plate, cutlery, accompaniment, sanitised fruit, ambience and luxury and not the commodity alone,” FHRAI vice president Gurbaxish Singh Kohli had said.

The trend

While we all know that the high-end hotels charge a bomb for every single thing, but it seems like Rahul’s act has given people a confidence boost to share such incidents, probably with a view that they might make some benefit of out it.

Vox populi

Just like Rahul’s tweet, this one also went viral (where Rahul Bose was also tagged). One of the Twitterati mentioned, “I can have breakfast for four seasons in this budget.”
