Facebook user Jeffrey Linus Lee shared how his parents had patronised a Wantan Mee stall at Koufu located at Toa Payoh Central on 26 April at about 8.39pm.
He said that his mother found a “foreign object” in her noodles and after taking a closer look at it, realised that it was a cockroach.
She then confronted the hawker about her find and the hawker then in turn accused her of allegedly putting the cockroach there herself.
Lee said that his mother asked the hawker why would she put a cockroach in her own food and the hawker then allegedly threatened and shouted at her to lodge a complaint.
Lee also said that the hawker accused his mother of planting the roach in her food to get a refund.
Here is what he said (SIC)
