During Chinese New Year, everyone in the family would gather to enjoy a traditional dinner of delicacies.
As a man was preparing the abalone, he opened up a can to find a baby cockroach inside!
Abalone with extra protein – truly a secret recipe

The netizen who posted the photos said:
“Didn’t expect that the ah Ma secret to this abalone is putting baby cockroach inside. Guys when cooking abalone during Chinese new year please check your abalone”
” I used the pan to cook something else and washed it before I open the abalone and pour into the pan”

Netizens who saw the photo said:

- Regardless cheap or no cheap, where is the hygiene?Â
- Oh my… I also brought. Need to check when open
- Is truly Ah Ma secret recipe.
- we were all taken aback and had no idea what to do. We had heard of stories of food contamination, but had never experienced it ourselves. After a few seconds of shock, we got to work to figure out how this could have happened.

Food safety is a joint responsibility. While SFA puts in place and enforces the regulatory measures, food manufacturers should ensure that their products adhere to all the requirements in Singapore’s food related laws. SFA will take enforcement action against food operators who do not adhere to these laws and would not hesitate to prosecute offenders in Court.
