The bill was not 890tk . It was 630tk. They gave you back 370tk. You can clearly see in her hand one 200tk note and one 100tk note and some change. Poor judgment.
Yes but they were so disappointed that they didn't even check how much was given back. They knew they were being scammed. Don't order whatever people say unless u see the food
are u happy about the restaurant stuff services how come they ask for tips???if im there i will slap them straight way... they don't know how to respect foreign guest.
@@ytnayon they got upset because they thought they were scammed. In reality they were not scammed. Also 4.5 pounds for a two person meal is not a scam by any means.
It wasn’t scam to the people who live in aisa specially the country like Bangladesh,india, Pakistan. We saw that you have ordered only chicken but after that they have bring some special recipes from the restaurant. As you guys are the tourist and that’s why they just tried to serve you the best with special one. One more important thing is that the bill was 630 . You didn’t notice the paper that they served you after your dinner. May be they returned you change around 370 taka which you didn’t saw or count. So before traveling somewhere you should know the culture and the hospitality from those countries. Thanks for understanding.
Bangladesh is literally the most polluted country in the world. Man i have visited there and it smells like piss everywhere. India has beautiful cities and are way more cleaner than Bangladesh. The only resemblance is the traffic. But still Indian traffic is not even half as bad as Bangladesh.
Actually those fish balls, youre supposed to take a tiny bit from those and mix it with rice; then eat it. This technique goes for almost all Bangladeshi dishes, you mix with rice then eat it. By the way, the old man in the background (at fry shop) was creeping me out🙂.
Its Bangladesh some restaurant habit they put extra items on the table if you eat you have to pay if you don't eat they will not charge it money they will return it
The bill was 630 taka, you paid 1000 and they returned you plenty of notes, so 370 taka. If they charged you 890, you would have gotten just one 10 taka note back. Also, as they gave you the daal, you should have used that with the rice to eat the fish and the eggplant items. Do not check your common sense at the door as you travel around the would, and you will get much more out of your experiences. Happy travels.
When someone wants you to take you to a shop by force , its better to not to go to their shop. Because either they will be very nice or they will be very scammy or creepy. That shop was definitely a creepy one. So learn how to say no to these people . Not everybody has bad intentions though.most of Bengali people are very welcoming, curious and hospitable. And its much safer than india . So, hope you have nice trip there
Hii guys, on the bill it is written 630 taka but he is saying 800 taka and Alan thought it was 890 taka.. hahaha that was funny.. but the good thing is, I think and hope they did not overcharged you guys. Shannon gave 1000 tk note, and they returned you 200+ (couldn’t see all the returned notes). I hope they returned you around 370 tk. It’s good that you did not gave them any tips. They were not suppose to ask for tips and put you in an awkward situation. There are several super delicious foods in Dhaka and all over Bangladesh, please check with some genuine informative people to find out the treasures. You can search for some good food and travel reviewers for your support. Wish you both a safe and fun time Bangladesh. Cheers
That is not fish ball guys.....that is fish vorta.....in Bangladesh it is a traditional process to make vorta with all kind of food...like fish..meat and vegetables.... if u eat this vorta without rice u cant be able to take taste....u must eat vorta with bowl rice....it will taste good....and this how take vorta....

I found that in Dhaka, when I ate in some resturants, they would just bring out random dishes and charge you for it, so what you need to do, is if they approach your table with stuff you haven't ordered, you need to tell them to take it back as you don't want it. The sides you tried, are supposed to be mixed with the rice. The "slimey" one you ate is made out of aubergine.
Awesome video guys!! Don't feel shy to get help from people nearby whenever you feel you're getting scammed. People in general are friendly here. If you can, try to get suggestions from local food vloggers first and use google maps to go anywhere.
I would recommend taking a local with you, so you can get the real deal and experience from everywhere. When you feel cheated or exhausted, step away and ask anyone close to you to help you, you will surely get help. Good luck on your ongoing journey.
Street side restaurants are known as Hotel in Bangladesh. Strange naming but it is what it is named. When you visit any hotel like this, they might bring items to you. Don't eat without knowing what you are eating. And you pay for what you eat. I know it is being bit strange but it is usually the system. Better ask for a menu or what they have. From your video I feel like that you are roaming around Motijheel, Paltan, Dhaka University and New Market. You should try some food from Puran Dhaka. If you ever plan to visit Bangladesh again, visit countryside. You gonna love it.

Remember one thing Bangladesh is not cheap it's expensive country we us Bangladeshi we pay lot to food prices in Bangladesh is the highest among South Asia specifically beef so don't think you're going get cheap stuff most places charge you London and Canada prices
First of all welcome to the land of rivers , Bangladesh Usually the city stays busy from daytime to night time . And you will not find a path to walk on properly ( also be careful with your belongings while you go outside ). You can try to eat in popular ( known places ) and always see / ask for the menu first or when you dont know the price of it..try to ask a local they might help you! Secondly , our first metro which spans from uttara north mathajheel. You can visit that :3 Moreover you can visit DOHS and cantonment or that side of the area for a peaceful walk . And lastly.dont fully rely on google maps because we have small lanes almost everywhere. (dont forgot to visit mirpur and try food there trust me you wont regret it ) Have a nice and safe visit in Bangladesh 👌
that fishball thing is not meant to be eat all at once !! that thing is for the whole dish , u take tiny bit of it, and mix it up with rice! thats how we eat spicy fishball ! great vlog btw. keep it up !
The bill was 630 taka, clearly written over the receipt. You guys could translate the numbers using google translator and paid the right amount. Be Smart When You're Traveling.
Hey i have been following u for a very long time now and i always wish had a chance to meet u at some point. U both scottish guys are cute and adorable😊 i always wondered why havnt u been to Bangladesh yet cos thats where im originally from but yeah finally u guys are there. I m soo happy to see u guys exparincing something different. It was very unfortunate i had to get back home few weeks ago otherwise it would of being my plasure to show u round a little bit. But yeah if u ever make a plan again to visit ill be the first one to join u. Anyway keep ur good work i thoroughly enjoy ur every single videos.
Western Vloggers always says everything is cheap in Asia. This is wrong because it seem cheap when you converted back to your currency like USD, Euro and Pounds because the value of these currency are way higher. But it is not cheap for the locals when they earn in their own currency. And when these videos surfaced in RU-vid, words of cheap food somehow gets to them and they increases their price.
Never visit a restaurant which doesn't have a menu card. Customer rights officers in Bangladesh will sue them for this, Having a menu Card in a restaurant is mandatory
Why are there so many voices on the streets of Dhaka that make me feel very upset and have a bad experience. Why are chicken nuggets fried? Unhealthy food. Why force other food on customers? This is not good service. When you were in China last month, I felt that the streets were very quiet and there were electric cars and electric motorcycles everywhere. In terms of urban development, China has far surpassed many countries.
Those of items are borta we take those with rice not raw. And it's make for take with rice not raw. And first one isn, t fish ball it was fish borta make by smashed fish with some spicees
You guys were literally beside my home when you went to the rice chicken place! Wish I would've randomly met you at the streets the day you were vlogging this! :D Would be really glad to show you some good food places around here. Anyway enjoy your stay, be safe and happy travelling :D
The problem is that you don't know how to eat it. That is common dishes people eat there as a lunch or dinner. Everything there has to be eaten with rice, not alone. The fish ball is deep friend and that's why you have to eat it. it's not the Scottish Haggis
Funny to see how you guys ate the smashed fish or fish bhorta and smashed eggplant. It is not actually meant to eat as it is, you were supposed to eat it with rice. In Bangladesh, when we are having lunch or dinner and rice is on the table, we take a little bit and mix it up with rice. Anyway, normally in this sort of restaurant, people give them around 20 to 30 taka tips and these guys are quite used to it. Maybe they mentioned it thinking you might not know about it, but it's up to the customers if they want to tip or not.
Respect for going over there and telling us what it really is like, I can’t stand vloggers who say everything they try and everyone they meet are perfect and amazing. Have to say Bangladesh doesn’t look like most appealing place to visit for me based on their food, traffic, safety, cleanliness etc but enjoying your videos for sure !
Bangladesh's GDP per capita is about one fifth of the world's average. It is one of the poorest countries on Earth. For your personal safety, don't go there if not necessary.
In Britain, the most popular food is indian, and out of 10000 restaurants in the UK 90% are owned by Bangladeshi. Give me a break Scottish Haggis eaters can't compare foods of any country. Listen to this Indian famous journalist: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9DKnkHdsXmo.html
Guys please don't get scammed by these people in street, don't enter a random restaurant and start eating because someone requestinh you to do it.Make sure your paying the correct bill as well.Thank you for visiting my country ❤
There is generally no tipping culture in most of Asia. Sadly Americans go round tipping left right and centre and therefore some people expect all westerners to flash the money around. You can round up or let them keep some of the change but in general no need to tip.
The tip issue in this country is getting out of hand, everyone usually pays 10 or 20 cents as tips to them since they don't earn much from the salaries, but you can also not tip them if you want
@@SyedAhmedSakif I didn't watch it that long. I just wanted to watch the scam part from the clickbait title. I'm editing the comments. Thanks man for figuring it out.
Did you see the guy behind you both whilst eating the spinach and daal...he had his hand out at first, then the guy who explained the food seem to scold him because the guy was on your left but body and face was out of camera except his hand and wrist point well wagging his finger up and down in a scolding motion likwe" Dude, no begging or soliciting them for money or defrauding them in any way, f'er." Pause it at 8:04 and look behind your right shoulder.
That was actually eggplant mashed with onions, herbs, and spices. The Shawarma is not even a Bangladeshi food which you are comparing with. Sorry to say this but it is the norm here; the waiter gives you a bit extra service expecting some tip in return. But you wouldn't get charged for the extra food they bring in if you don't touch it.
The CHAOS, the NOISE, the NONE STOP honking (despite the fact there were very few cars in the streets), the mass of the LOCALS, and the UNTIDINESS / DIRTINESS in general, oh my Goodness! Take good care of yourselves! Hey Alan dude, you need to be extra protective over your lady in places like this!
Ya, if someone asks for tips you just don't give. That's the rule 👍. And also look at 16.46. Your bill is 630 written in Bengali. But he told you it's 830 and you paid 890 right? And then he was asking for tips!
@@Alan_and_Shannon try puran dhaka. the place is a bit hard to move around while vlogging because of the narrow roads but i am pretty confident that the food is not going to disappoint you.
The fancy well decorated restaurants in Dhaka are mostly all money trap.They try to cover their expense plus profit from the limited customers they get.So try to avoid those.
Lol. It kinda painful to see u guys trying those whole "fish bhorta" just by itself and specially shanon dipping it in chicken gravy before she had her's 😂.. u're supposed to have it with rice.. like mix up a spoon of rice, quarter spoon or may be even less of the fish bhorta and a little bit of daal(lentils) together.. it'll balance up the spicy and strong flavour of the bhorta.. and the eggplant one u just mix it up with plain rice and have it.( u can use daal here aswell but i prefer not to and it's just personal choice).. having the bhortas by itself is like having a shot of white vinegar or a spoon of mustard just by itself mate.. hopefully u'll be able to give it one more try and that time u might like it better.. best of luck for your rest of the tour.
travel with a english speaking local.....if u post online about it ... u will find plenty of people like uni students that will help for free... or u r bound to face such situations
