M'sia eatery customer apparently pulls out 6 to 7 chest hairs & puts it on food, refuses to pay
The incident took place in a Penang restaurant on Oct. 4, 2026.
A man dined with his partner at a restaurant in Penang, Malaysia on October 4, according to Sin Chew Daily. The pair visited the eatery around 5pm that day. The manager, Zheng, discovered the incident after reviewing CCTV footage of the establishment. The couple had initially wanted to order fried chicken, but settled for kuey teow, eggs, and a drink when they were told the first option was sold out, according to 8world.
The man soon complained about finding chest hairs in his kuey teow. Upon inspection, Zheng found six to seven hairs in the food, noting that they were dry and short, unlike eyelashes, Sin Chew Daily reported. The couple attempted to leave the restaurant without paying for their meal, which cost around RM30 (S$9.38). When Zheng pointed out that payment was still required, the man questioned his ability to pay for such a subpar meal, Sin Chew Daily reported.
Upon further review, Zheng discovered that the man had repeatedly placed his hand into his clothing, seemingly plucking chest hairs and placing them into his food, 8world reported. Zheng subsequently shared CCTV footage of the incident with other restaurant operators to keep a watchful eye on the couple.
