Boracay is a popular place for Taiwanese tourists who are visiting the Philippines. But one couple is complaining about overcharging which took place at seafood restaurant where they paid NT$4,700 for a single lobster.
Boracay is known for its beautiful beaches and bountiful seafood. Unfortunately, Mr. Ho and his girlfriend were unwittingly duped when they went to a local restaurant that had a sign advertising lobster for the equivalent of NT$128. When they finished their meal, they learned the price was actually NT$128 per 100 grams, meaning their 3.7 kg lobster ultimately cost NT$4,700. Worse yet, the couple didn’t have the cash on them to pay this exorbitant bill and they were soon taken to the local police station.
While many people may be shocked by this news, the reality of the situation is that the price of such lobster at markets in Taiwan may be even more expensive.

It’s impossible. NT$128 is impossible. Even at a 70 percent discount it would be impossible to cost just NT$120.
Chen Yi-chuan of Taiwan’s Travel Quality Assurance Association reminded tourists to pay more attention when visiting the Boracay Fish Market. He warned that such vendors may deceptively label prices and said it’s important to know just how much you are spending before you commit to a meal.
菲律賓長灘島，台灣人熱門的旅遊景點。不過，現在卻有民眾投訴，晚上到海鮮餐廳用餐被坑了。聲稱店家只說龍蝦128，讓他誤以為一隻128元，結果原來是以100克計價，還因為結帳付不出4700元的龍蝦費用，被送進警局。
美麗沙灘聞名的菲律賓長灘島，品嘗當地海鮮也是一景，不過日前一位何先生和女友到當地海鮮餐廳吃飯，聲稱因為商家標示不清，誤以為一隻龍蝦只要128元，直到吃完後，才發現是每一百公克128元。結果，3.7公斤的龍蝦，索價4700多元，因為現金不夠付帳，還鬧上警局。
一般民眾聽了也覺得上了賊船，但實際到台灣的漁市場訪價，龍蝦顯然台灣賣更貴。

“不可能啦 128塊是不可能的啦，(死掉的)以七折來算，也不可能說只要120多塊”
旅遊品保協會秘書長陳怡全提醒自住旅遊民眾多注意，到長灘島漁市場，攤商都會把價錢標明清楚，國人旅遊要花錢時，還是問清楚，才不會引發爭議。
