Chest a minute! Diner allegedly plucks out body hair and plants it in ‘char kway teow’ to dodge RM30 bill in Penang

A diner in Penang allegedly plucked hair from his own chest and inserted it into a plate of char kway teow before refusing to pay the RM30 bill, according to the restaurant manager. The incident took place at a restaurant on Persiaran Gurney in George Town on October 4th at around 5pm, as reported by Sin Chew Daily and The Star.

The restaurant manager, Cheng, discovered the alleged deception after reviewing CCTV footage. The man and his companion initially wanted to order fried chicken, but opted for char kway teow after hearing that the chicken was sold out. When the man discovered hair in the noodles, he claimed the food was contaminated and refused to pay.

The restaurant manager found that the hair was dry, not oily, and consisted of six to seven strands, unlike eyelashes. The man and his companion left the restaurant when confronted about the unpaid bill, with the man stating he would not pay due to the alleged contamination. Cheng has shared the CCTV footage with other restaurant operators to warn them about the suspicious behavior of the couple.
