Food Delivery Fiasco: A Bag of Trash, Not a Meal
Picture this: you’re scrolling through your favourite food‑delivery app, craving something hot, and then bam – your order turns out to be a literal dumpster instead of dinner. That’s exactly what happened to Zephyr Jun Xiang Ng, who had enough of the culinary chaos to give it a good old Facebook rant.
What Went Wrong?
- August 11, 2023: Ten minutes before the dinner should’ve hit his doorstep, the delivery rider handed him a bag full of junk – used tissues, wrappers, other order slips, and—gets this—the occasional rebel cockroach.
- March 8, 2023: It began as a “black soup” mix‑up, which he called a rookie mistake. He got a refund and decided to give the stall a second chance.
Unfortunately, that “second chance” turned into a disgusting downgrade. Ng posted a photo that’s hard to keep from making your mouth water (the opposite way, think of it). He declared, “Never again,” and hoped the stall would stop the madness.
Stallholder’s Side of the Story
When the post went live, the stall’s owner scratched his head and went over his CCTV. The culprit? The staff were so busy juggling dinners that they mistakenly left a plastic bag in the delivery spot. The rider, it turns out, was just as clueless about the swap.
Who Should Take the Blame?
Foodpanda confirmed that a refund was already issued and that they’re digging into the mishap, while the stallholder issued a public apology. Both parties agreed: it was a misstep that shouldn’t have happened.
Where This Rumor Reaches
Though Ng declined to dive into a full interview, the incident spurred a slew of reactions online. An angry foodie audience, a hesitant but hopeful fan hoping for a better second order, and a curious peer wondering if the stall keeps rocking off like a malfunctioning kitchen robot.
Bottom line: It’s a case that reminds us all that delivery apps can sometimes deliver more than you actually ordered. From “black soup” to a “trash bin,” the journey from dish to doorstep isn’t always smooth. Stay alert, stay vented, and remember: if you get a bag of rubbish, maybe skip the next try—just for your sanity.
