Recently i tried one of the coffeshop places fully run by PRCs along New Bridge road just across from PPC. I had stomach upset for a couple of days. Now this.
I have long suspected that owing to economic crisis, many restaurants are stretching their shelf life of food to the MAX before throwing away,

Not only was STOMPer Kohan disgusted to find two cockroaches in a steamboat pot at this restaurant, he was also appalled that the staff did not apologise for the incident but commented that it was normal to find cockroaches in food.
Instead of expressing remorse for what happened, the restaurant staff told Kohan and his friends that it was not a big deal. They also insisted that the group pay for their meal in full.
In an email dated Auguat 12, an angry STOMPer Kohan says:
“Together with six of my friends, I had steamboat at Chong Qing No.1 Steamboat restaurant, aka ‘Chong Qing Di Yi Jia Lao Huo Guo’, located at Smith Street on August 10.
“While we were eating, we were shocked to find small cockroaches in the soup. There were not only one but two cockroaches. One was bigger than the other.
“When we complained about the cockroaches to the restaurant staff, they didn't even seem surprised.
“They simply offered us a replacement for the soup instead but we had already lost our appetite.
“What made us uncomfortable was that they didn't even apologise. Instead, they tried to remove the evidence by taking one plate with the cockroach on it away.
“Hence we took pictures of the remaining evidence.
“When they saw that we were taking pictures, one of the staff angrily said in mandarin: ‘You can take as many pictures as you want and report this. It is common in Singapore to find cockroach in your food. You will still need to pay for all your food in full!’
“We left after paying.
“So steamboat lovers out there, beware!
“The food might be delicious but food hygiene here is very low.
“They even remarked that it’s common in Singapore to have cockroaches found in food. This shows that they really take food hygiene very lightly and are a disgrace to the Singaporean hygiene standard.
“Finding two cockroaches in the same pot of soup can’t be a coincidence.”
