This Malaysian Has An Instagram Dedicated To All Of His 'Chap Fan' Meals

Only in Asia can aunties and uncles tell you the price of your meal based on looking at it for two seconds.

37-year-old Vincent Paul Young is a fashion photographer, who also dabbles in taking photos of his meals.

"I have always loved the concept of economy rice, where you get to choose what you want to eat on your plate, and be charged according to the portion," he shared with SAYS.

"[It is] to document the diversity and variety of local dishes on a plate... and also helps me to benchmark the market rates of the dishes I picked."

"For instance, the same dish can be slightly more expensive in PJ, where in Kepong, it's fairly cheaper... thus a documentation on the standard of living in these areas," he said.

However, he doesn't stick to a specific budget so he can make price comparisons between different areas.

"The account is more of a journal for me than anything else," he said, adding that his favourite chap fan dish is baked beans and scrambled eggs in tomato sauce.

For each photo, he lists down the name of each dish and the total price. He even rates the meal based on taste, value for money, and overall quality.

If you're a ramen lover, Vincent also has an Instagram account with photos of his ramen adventures.
