A disturbing incident has left a diner in shock after discovering a laundry clip in their Tom Yam fish soup at Cantine Cantine, a restaurant located in Jurong Point. The customer, who shared a photo of the offending item on social media, expressed their disgust and surprise at finding the unexpected addition to their meal.
According to the diner, they had already consumed almost half of the soup before making the unsettling discovery. The image shows the metal clip, typically used to hold together laundry, submerged in the spicy and sour broth.
The post quickly went viral, with many users expressing their outrage and amusement at the situation. Some commenters joked about the clip being used to “catch the fish” or being a new ingredient in the soup. Others were more serious, advising the diner to report the incident to the Singapore Food Agency (SFA).
One Netizen suggested that the clip might have been used by the kitchen staff to identify the customer’s order, but was accidentally left in the soup. Another Netizen claimed that the clip was actually used to hold together the fish and vegetables during the cooking process.
While some Netizens found the incident amusing, others were more critical, with one Netizen labeling it “unforgivable.” The diner’s experience serves as a reminder of the importance of food safety and quality control in the food industry.
It remains to be seen how Cantine Cantine will respond to the incident and what measures they will take to prevent such mistakes in the future. In the meantime, the diner’s discovery has sparked a lively debate about the importance of attention to detail in food preparation and the need for greater accountability in the industry.
