A woman in China who broke up with her boyfriend because his parents served her frugal meals has trended after sharing images of the dishes on mainland social media.

The unidentified woman, who is in her early 20s and from Sichuan province in southwestern China, gained traction online after sharing a series of pictures of the offending dishes she was served on a two-day visit to the home of her boyfriend’s parents in a remote area, Sukan Shixun reported.

The woman had travelled two-and-a-half hours earlier this week for her first visit to meet his parents.
