Chun Shui Tang dating cost sparks debate; AV actress shares pricey lunch

A recent incident at a Chun Shui Tang restaurant in Taichung, Taiwan, has sparked online discussion after a diner witnessed a couple arguing over a 700 New Taiwan Dollar (NTD) meal. The man reportedly complained about his girlfriend's expensive order, suggesting they could have eaten at a cheaper dumpling restaurant instead. He questioned the value of spending over 100 NTD for coffee at Starbucks, leading to his girlfriend crying during the argument.

Lunch for 770 NTD, probably no guy would want me.

The original poster, who witnessed the scene, wrote a card to comfort the woman, stating she deserved better. The story quickly gained traction online, with many netizens debating the appropriate cost of a date and whether the man's reaction was justified.

In response to the viral story, former AV actress Mao Hamasaki posted a picture of her own lunch, which included soup dumplings, chicken, stir-fried greens, and bamboo shoot salad, costing 770 NTD. She humorously captioned the photo, "Lunch for 770 NTD, probably no guy would want me." Her post resonated with many, adding a lighthearted take to the ongoing conversation about dating expenses.

You go to Starbucks for the atmosphere, to drink coffee made by a machine for over a hundred dollars? I'm not stopping you from eating, but is it worth that much?

Netizens commented on Hamasaki's post, with some noting that while her lunch was slightly more expensive, it was still reasonable for a meal. Others praised her ability to engage with current events and shared sentiments that a man criticizing such spending might not be a desirable partner. The discussion reflects a broader societal conversation about financial expectations and relationship dynamics.

You deserve better.
