Speaking to Mothership, Lim said the incident happened on Jan. 8.
When he received the order, the soup appeared "carefully packed" in a plastic container, with a small container of chilli sauce at the side.
But upon arriving at the destination — a landed estate in Jalan Arif — he noticed that the chilli sauce had leaked from its container.
Shortly after, he was dismayed to receive a notification informing him that the order had been cancelled.
Lim also explained that cancelled orders may come with penalties for riders and vendors.
Riders risk suspension from the platform when orders are cancelled due to spillage, according to a screenshot he shared from the foodpanda app.
Typically, multiple cancellations lead to suspensions.
To avoid suspension, riders are sometimes compelled to pay customers upfront in the event of a spillage, so they don't submit refund requests via the app.
"It’s apalling to see these fucked up customers exploit minor issues to get free meals, especially when honest hardworking eateries and delivery riders (like me) end up bearing the cost!"
