Actually.... I am a regular patron of that place. They have a lunch porridge buffet $10.7 net which includes free-flow dessert (green bean soup) and barley drink. I find it good value as adjacent foodcourt average price is $6.

 

Of course, I guess no more such lobang in future :P

 

Not sure whether this web info is still current.

Disgusting as it may be, it could be a honest mistake. I have also seen their prices and think people will go back!

Let’s see whether they will re-open.

Will you go eat if they re-open???

 

Mistake honest or not, 1 time is enough.. and reading all the current info on this case, it seems the staff and the supervisor did not give a rat's ass care when they found such disgusting stuff in their food... seems like they also tried to cover it up by acting nonchalant when the stomper smelled out this rat... says a lot on this co integrity and attitude towards food and customer safety... even if they offer free food I'll never want to have anything from these people who think rat is part of their dishes too....

Didn't know about this place before. Seems like their food is quite good value. Probably going to try them if they reopen. I have worked in other restaurant kitchens and I think the conditions are equally bad. Just that not discovered only.

More rat presence found.

The maximum fine is not as scary as rat-in-soup experience.

Two more rats have been caught since, said the NEA today (Jan 14).

 

Investigations by the NEA also found some dried rat droppings on the floor of the storeroom and a false ceiling of the kitchen.

 

Under the Environment Public Health (Food Hygiene) Regulations, licensees who sell unclean food can be fined up to S$2,000. On conviction, they will also be issued with six demerit points.

i grew up in a hawker centre , rats are a common sight back then in the 90s , these rats have amazing survival instints similar to flies and cockroaches. You can find them in drains and refuse centers . Some grew as big as cats .

 

As the hawker center slowly evolve covered drainage and cleaner collection centres , rats too moved on and i am pretty sure such cases would be common , especially with the fake ceilings found in the new shopping centers , all the rats need to do is to move from underground to back above us. Moving around won't be difficult.

I think NEA knows the fine is nothing to them but if that's the max penalty, nothing much they can do except to keep suspending their operation until they are happy. Ceasing their operation for a long time is a penalty itself.

Actually, if someone does see him (assuming he doesn't seem to be under duress or addled) then he is not missing but in hiding.

 

In that case, I don't poh mata because this will be between him and his family who he is presumably hiding from.
