�I am surprised this incident took place in a restaurant frequented by tourists, and after the recent cases of food poisoning. Moreover, the presence of a baby cockroach in air-conditioned premises suggests they may breed.
�I have alerted the National Environment Agency and hope this will not be repeated. I also hope Singapore's food establishments will not be complacent in maintaining good hygiene standards.

Restaurant has rigorous hygiene system in place

I REFER to Mr Wong Siang Yeung Rigan's letter on Monday, "Baby cockroach spoils visitors' dining experience".
We would like to assure both Mr Wong and our diners that Jumbo Seafood has a rigorous system in place to ensure the hygiene of our premises.

We take food safety very seriously and isolated incidents such as these are deeply regretted. Following this incident, the National Environment Agency (NEA) and our pest control agency have separately conducted thorough checks of the restaurant's premises and found no evidence of any pests or infestation.

Nonetheless, we thank Mr Wong for his feedback and we sincerely apologise for the unpleasant experience he had with his guests.
