A Chinese man in a Meituan delivery uniform sparked curiosity online after he was seen purchasing curry puffs in Singapore for a customer in China. Chloe, a Chinese woman living in Singapore, shared a video on August 31 showing the man at Hong Lim Curry Puff in PLQ Mall. Meituan, a prominent Chinese food delivery platform, was involved in the transaction.
Chloe noticed the man struggling with communication at the shop and realized he was wearing a Meituan uniform. He explained that a Chinese business owner had placed an order through Meituan after enjoying the curry puffs during a previous visit to Singapore. The customer paid 2,400 yuan (US$360) for his flight ticket and S$13.5 (US$11) for the curry puffs.
The man declined to provide further details about the customer or any tips. Meituan did not respond to inquiries, and the video has generated both intrigue and skepticism online. Some speculated the encounter was staged, while others praised the man's gesture. The shop owner appreciated the cross-border order, recognizing the opportunity to share Singapore's flavors with the international audience.
