Delicious Food

Minang restaurant is famous for its delicious (and sometimes expensive) food. Some
foods are expensive because of its hardness to make the dish and the ingredients used.

One day, a man came to a Minang restaurant to eat. He ordered all kinds of delicious
food, even the most expensive one. Then, people looked at him and thought that the man was
rich. After that, they looked at the eating man. However, people noticed something strange,
the man only ate the broth with rice.

Finally, it was time for the man to pay for his food. When the man did that, he only
paid a little despite the food he ordered. People were curious about that. Then, one of them
asked the man how can he paid so little despite his order.

“How can you pay so little when you have so many orders?”,

The man said, "I told the cashier that I only ate the broth. So, I only paid for the rice
and the broth because the broth will taste the same as the dish".

What a clever way to eat delicious food without spending too much!
