Singapore ― A man was in for a surprise after finding a cockroach sealed inside a sugarcane drink. The stall has apologised for the incident and announced it would be closed for cleaning.
One Yash Lawrence purchased three drinks from a stall called Seng Huat Traditional Coffee at Hougang Avenue 1 Block 105 Market and Food Centre.
“Came home and found this. Sealed inside the cup,” the customer said in a Facebook post on Sunday (Oct 10).
He attached photos of his discovery which appears to be a cockroach floating in the sugar cane juice.
“My boy wanted sugarcane juice on his birthday, and I went out specifically to buy, only to see this,” said Mr Yash, considering himself lucky to have spotted the insect before poking the straw in and taking a sip.
On top of being alarmed at the occurrence, members from the online community wondered why the colour of the drink seemed off.
Seng Huat Traditional Coffee also commented on his post, sincerely apologising for their experience.
“We cannot imagine what it must have been like to discover a roach in your drink. We profusely apologise for that,” said the stall.
“Throughout the years of service, we never had this happened before. Please rest assured that we will look closely at our kitchen, and we will be closed immediately for the next two days for cleaning,” it added.
The stall also reassured customers that it would “do everything to fix the problem” and ensure it does not happen again.
“We appreciate your patronage and feel embarrassed by this unfortunate incident. Please allow us to update you with photos after our cleaning process for your reassurance.” /TISG
