S'pore man allegedly finds 'fat' cockroach in Serangoon stall's char kway teow, stall denies incident, lodges police report
Cockroach.
A Singaporean diner claimed he found a cockroach in his bowl of char kway teow at a restaurant in Serangoon, demanding S$5,000 in compensation. The diner posted a video on social media detailing the incident, which he described using a rap-style song. The restaurant, Al-Majlis, denied the allegations, stating they would pursue legal action against defamation.
The diner's niece said he rejected a free replacement meal and emailed the restaurant's management to seek an amicable resolution, but received no response. The diner then filed a report with the Singapore Food Agency (SFA). The restaurant claimed the incident coincided with a financial demand and that it was conducted long after the alleged discovery.
They stated that their kitchen was pest-free based on third-party audits. The SFA inspected the restaurant and found no pests or food safety issues, but reminded the restaurant to maintain cleanliness and adhere to food safety practices. The restaurant later lodged a police report regarding the matter.
