Chinatown, a bustling hub of culinary delights, recently witnessed an unsettling incident at the Tiong Shian Porridge Center’s New Bridge Road. A customer, innocently enjoying their dinner, stumbled upon an unexpected and unwelcome addition to their meal – a finger-size centipede.
The Unpleasant Discovery
Imagine the shock and dismay when, amidst slurping a bowl of noodles and savoring stir-fried vegetables, a customer encounters a large centipede lurking in their food. This nightmarish scenario unfolded for a diner at Chinatown Eatery on a fateful Saturday.
Response from the Waitress
Horrified, the customer promptly alerted the waitress, presenting the creepy-crawly culprit and requesting the matter be taken to the head chef. Unfortunately, the response from the waitress was far from satisfactory – an alarming lack of urgency or concern.
Here is what the unfortunate netizen said:
