FOOD delivery apps are have undoubtedly simplified life by providing customers with wide range of restaurants. Plus one doesn’t have to leave the house or office.
But sometimes, you don’t get what is depicted on the food delivery app.
Just like this unfortunate customer who received a disappointing version of the dish she had ordered.
@nrzaatie took to her TikTok account to share that she had ordered “Sotong Goreng Tepung” or crispy fried squid from a restaurant on a food delivery app.
She also shared a screenshot of the food menu on the delivery app, which described the dish as “squids marinated in flavoured flour and deep fried until crispy”.
In the screenshot, the picture of the fried squid appeared to be quite appetising, and there were quite a lot of pieces of fried squid.
“Expectation,” wrote @nrzaatie on the screenshot.
Much to her disappointment, what arrived was not rings of deep fried squid, but rather chunky deep-fried balls, nothing like the promised picture on the food delivery app.
“Reality,” she wrote on her picture.

The third picture she shared on her TikTok post was a cross-section of the “fried squid”. The deep-fried balls were packed with flour and a tiny squid ring was wedged in the middle of it.
“Not squid fried in flour. But flour fried squid. Scammed,” captioned @nrzaatie.
TikTok users were aghast at the sight of the fried squid, with many comparing it to a takoyaki, a Japanese dish and cekodok, because it looked like a round banana fritter.
“Is that a takoyaki?” asked TikTok user Nurin.
“That’s a squid cekodok!” said another amused netizen.
“I really despise restaurants who do things like this. Already we’re so hungry and then receive food like this,” said @syarmila.
