Deceptive prices, long waits, costly prices, we will look into each one separately.
Deceptive prices. The way money is calculated is $13.50 per 50 gram. There are two problems with this. Number one, the way it is written is not easy to understand. Since many tourist aren’t fluent readers, many will not understand the pricing. Number two, even if you do understand, nowhere states how many grams are in each corn, this is why $81 per corn ($13.50 per 50x300=$81)can still sell.
Long waits. We arrived at 5:00pm and yet the lines were still 10 minutes long. I don’t blame this on the food vendor but not the best place for fast food(as in food that has shorter lines).
Costly princes. In general, this place is much more expensive than most of the places in the night market ($81). I seriously don’t advise it and you should spend your money...

Oh, and one more thing their corn is 'Q' corn. Thats how the local referring to this type creamy and chewy corn.
You will know you eat good food when you sink your first bite. Queing is almost always expected, but fear not you will be let known the estimated time for your grilled corn to be ready. Meanwhile you can enjoy and explore other offers that this night market...

After it was grilled and sauced, it had totally different flavors. I thought the sauce was a bit saltier than I preferred, but it had a strong, very flavorful soy taste, mixed with the sweetness of the corn. The more I chewed, the more I liked it. Good...
