Branch of incident: Tampines Block 477 Street 43
I have been buying from the Tampines branch every weekend. My mom loves the porridge that’s why I always buy for her and myself.
On this day, I was shocked and disappointed at the same time.
Luckily I had to stir the porridge because I added a few extra ingredients of my own (chilli padi, fish skin, egg whites etc).
If not it could have easily ended up in my mouth without noticing at all. I immediately went out of my room to check with my mom’s if she encountered the same horror too. Fortunately, there wasn’t but I told her not to eat it because most likely it came out from the same main pot.
I just wanted to forget about it and stop buying from them anymore but my mom told me to go back there and tell them off. Mainly because they might continue their carelessness and affect others as well. I felt that she had a point so I went back to show them. I am still a fan of this porridge in fact I think it’s one of the best in sg easily. But definitely not buying anymore from the tampines branch again.
Still supporting the hougang branch and hope this message will be a meaningful one to all. Thanks
Here is what netizens think:
- Omg! So disgusting! Report to the authority on this “extra ingredient”. Will take note to stir thoroughly when eating porridge the next time. Appreciate the sharing.
- Of all u know they have a central kitchen somewhere, so where u buy from – Hougang or Tampines – it comes from the big pot from the central kitchen.
- You can report this and make them pay the price so that they will take extra care when preparing the food and also handling the stall.
- I guess they took the meaning of “extra ingredients” to a whole new level.
