Crunchy Surprise: A 35‑Year‑Old Executive’s Roasted Duck Rice Disaster
Home‑office hustle turned into a nightmare when a routine GrabFood order turned into a cigarette‑taste catastrophe. Immanuel, a mid‑aged business management pro, decided to treat himself to some sesame‑scented goodness on Monday, June 27 at 12:17 pm.
What Happened?
- Ordered a packet of “Hua Zai HK Style Roasted Delight” from 827 Tampines Street 81.
- Delivered in roughly an hour – the classic quick‑delivery hustle.
- Immanuel took a bite, all hungry, and on the third mouthful discovered a truly nauseating cigarette flavor.
- After a quick spit‑out attempt, he uncovered a used cigarette butt wedged between the rice and meat.
Immediate Reaction
“This is super disgusting,” Immanuel told AsiaOne, and he’s still shaking to this day. “Even now I still feel damn disgusted.”
Business Casual: The Response
- He lodged a formal complaint with GrabFood.
- GrabFood processed a full refund for the order.
- He also reached out to the Singapore Food Agency to report the incident.
The Takeaway
While we’re all looking to save time on lunch, this incident reminds us that fast food can still be fast when it comes to questionable quality. Stay alert, keep your orders in check, and may your culinary adventures always stay free of surprises as unappetizing as a cigarette butt.
Food Fiasco in Tampines: When a Cigarette Butt Turns Into a Hot Potato
Picture this: you’re cruising through Tampines, eyeing the Hua Zai Roasted Duck stall for a delicious bite—only to see a cigarette butt amble into your bag. Talk about an unexpected garnish!
What the Heck Happened?
- The stall assistant was baffled, admitting he had no idea how a cigarette bit his way into the food. He suggested we chase the mystery to Yong, the boss, for the real scoop.
- AsiaOne, keeping the investigative spirit alive, pinged Yong for answers.
- We’re still scratching our heads: Was it a rogue Hua Zai employee’s forgotten mishap or a GrabFood rider who swerved too fast?
Last Year’s “Chicken Chronicles”
April brought another headline‑maker when a Facebook user spotted a staff assistant placing raw chicken on a “dirty and wet floor.” Yikes!
Later, the same assistant told Shin Min Daily News that the chicken slipped because the packaging tore and he tossed it. Still sounds like a bad summer kitchen mishap.
Who’s Got the Mic?
- Grab’s safety crew has been asked to weigh in—no doubt they’ll have something to say about clean‑up protocols.
- The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) is also on the case, ready to swoop in with their food‑hygiene guardrails.
