I can't help but shudder just looking at the pic and imagine leh, it could've been chewed and swallowed if undiscovered. Ew ew ew EW!!!
With the hoo-ha surrounding the food poisoning deaths of late, I don't think the authorities are going to go easy on this one when we report it. It's one thing to know at the back of your head that food prepared outside of home is never hygienic, but it's quite another to actually see a bloody cockroach in your food.
BIL was furious and started kicking up a ruckus with the stall owner. "Is this how you run your stall? What happens if I had eaten this? You're history if I report you!" To which, the boss apologized and offered the excuse that someone had not covered the pot of chili properly the night before. Uhh, excuse me, our problem izzit?
The best part was after we showed them the offensive cockroach, they did not even bother to remove the contaminated pot of chili. It was still sitting there waiting for some hapless patron to scoop, eat and die of food poisoning. Redemption FAIL.
They offered to waive the rice off the bill, and we were like WTF lor. So buay sui. Want to waive, waive the whole goddamn bill or don't even bother. Damage control FAIL. First thing to shut a patron's mouth after such a damning thing has occurred is to waive the entire bill. Not that we would've taken it, cuz we have that much integrity, and we would still report this case anyway to save others from the terrible fate of munching on cockroaches.
Anyway, if you look closely at the pic, the cockroach is missing half its body. BIL was convinced the other half was already swimming in his stomach. Ew ew ew EW!!!!!!!!!! I had a roiling tummy and diarrhoea after that dreadful meal. Nevermind that I suffer from occasional bouts of diarrhoea. I am convinced it was the cockroach that brought it on.
Lackie, being the evil little cow that she is, was damn happy her dad ate a cockroach. Kept gloating and gleefully shrieking, "My daddy ate a cockroach! Hahahahahaa! Daddy loves to eat cockroaches!" Faint.
