What's Trending: Ultimate food craving? Meituan delivery rider flies to Singapore... just for curry puffs

from Money Matters with Hongbin Jeong and Chua Tian Tian · host MONEY FM 89.3

What’s the furthest you’ve ever gone to satisfy a food craving? Maybe you’ve paid an eye-watering $20 for islandwide delivery... but would you actually fly to another country for it? That’s apparently what happened when a Meituan delivery rider was spotted at Hong Lim Curry Puff in Singapore, picking up an order worth just S$13.50. The bizarre part? The rider had reportedly flown in from China, on a flight costing around S$455, just to collect the curry puffs. On What's Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Nazirul Asrar break down the strange story and ask the more important question: how much would YOU be willing to pay to get your favourite food? And at what point does a food craving become a full-blown pilgrimage?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
