: "We sat down for the meal and a lady came over and took them away - I thought it was for a lollipop or something.

Craig said the other youngster was charged the child's rate, leaving a "bitter taste".

He said the Cantonese restaurant's menus did say that the rates were height-dependent - but claimed that it did not give the height limits.

Restaurant boss Lance Ping slammed Craig as "ignorant" - and that moaning was a "waste of your time and our time".

He added that the restaurant's menu says clearly that the height limit for the kids' discount is 1.4m.
