Hook‑up at Pasir Ris: A Fish‑Soup Fumble
It happened on a sunny Sunday at Pasir Ris Central Hawker Centre, where a hungry lady was digging into a steaming bowl of fish soup from Jun Yuan House of Fish. That stall, which snagged a Michelin Bib Gourmand badge last year and again this year, apparently had a crustacean surprise for one unlucky swimmer.
What went down?
- The customer spotted a rusty fish hook right in her soup (yes, you read that right).
- She took photos and told the staff. They shrugged, said sorry, and kept serving the rest of the crowd.
- Concerned about tetanus, she stopped eating and went home, awaiting the unlikely but possibly dangerous bite.
- Back at the stall, she unleashed a full‑blown complaint to the chef and the other two staffers—claiming it was a “very dangerous incident.”
- Chef replied that the culprit was an ingredient from a supplier, not his own mistake.
Emily’s Take
“I was just lucky chewing slowly—otherwise, I’d be tucked into the hospital today,” she told Stomp. “This isn’t just a kitchen mishap; it’s about safety for all, especially the elderly who love a good bowl of fish soup.”
Action Taken
Emily has filed a formal complaint with the Singapore Food Agency (SFA), and Stomp has reached out to the regulatory body for more details.
And just a heads‑up: last week, Stomp covered another odd snack incident—a wooden peg found in a food item from a Kimly Seafood stall in Bukit Panjang (read more that, too).
