Passersby Presented Larger Night Market Tiramisus as Evidence Against the RM15 Price Point

To contest the RM15 price of a tiramisu, some individuals who visited Ong Ai Li's former stall, Nude Bakery, in Kuchai presented a form of tangible evidence. These passersby would procure tiramisus from pasar malam (night markets) that were notably larger in size compared to the ones offered at Ong's stall. They then brought these larger desserts to Ong's stall to demonstrate their point, explicitly stating that these bigger portions were priced at RM15.
Comparison with Night Market Offerings

The core of the passersby's argument rested on a direct comparison with the value perceived at local night markets. They actively sought out tiramisus from these markets, which were described as being double the size of Ong's product. This act of bringing the pasar malam tiramisu to Ong's stall served as a visual and direct refutation of the perceived steepness of her RM15 pricing.
Demonstrating Perceived Value Discrepancy

The passersby's actions highlighted a significant perceived discrepancy in value. By presenting a tiramisu that was twice the size for the same RM15 price, they aimed to convey that Ong's dessert was overpriced. This method of using a purchased item from a different, more affordable vendor as comparative proof was a recurring tactic employed by these individuals.
