A netizen has shared a photograph of a miserable untouched box of Char Kway Teow purchased from a Gurney Drive restaurant. The shocking thing about the food is that it cost the netizen 9 dollars for such a smaller portion of food and ingredients.

The younger brother told reporters that they were unable to retain staff for the past one to two years, and that most local workers wanted to quit after two days. Extended family members, who used to help, are now too busy with their own lives to continue helping, and currently only the younger brother, his wife and one employee are manning the restaurant. But the employee also quit in March this year, due to her husband's ill health, thus the shortage of manpower issue became severe.

A 40-year-old woman who was allegedly involved in a fight at a Teochew Porridge Restaurant was remanded at IMH after likely suffering from post-natal depression. Pang Pei Pei had previously gone to IMH for treatment but did not go for further follow-ups. She did not take her medication too. Her 5-month old daughter is placed under another person's care at the moment. Pang Pei Pei was charged for being involved in rash act at the eatery together with 3 men who threw furniture at the Teochew porridge counter. They were reportedly enraged because of their $28 bill. Pang will be back in court on 20 June while a few of the men are currently out on bail.

A middle-aged man refused to pay $24 restaurant service charge as he was unhappy that he had to walk to the cashier to pay for his meal. The man was dining with his family at a Thai restaurant at Nex. He complained that the waiter was slow and vented his anger when he could not pay from his seat. He eventually threw some cash at the counter, excluding the service charge which he thought was not worth paying for, before leaving the restaurant abruptly. The restaurant's manager has never met such an unreasonable customer before and felt bad for the cashier, who almost had to fork out the service charge on his behalf. It is uncertain if the restaurant will pursue the matter.

My family and I was at 'Ban Heng' @ The Cathay on 14/5/17 6pm celebrating Mother's Day. After we settled down on our tables, we decided to place our orders with one of the staff (A). We told them that we would want our soup to be served later and surprisingly she gave us a intense reaction which is totally unnecessary. At around 10 minutes later, the soup was served to us by another staff but we told her nicely that we told the other staff (A) that soup to served later. Than, staff (A) saw and she came over to our table speaking in Cantonese "aiya, other customer always order together with soup, why they want to get it served later?". She than left our table with a sarcastic look. After our 5th or 6th dishes, there is one commotion coming from the other table. It was a family of around 5-6 with an old granny who had difficulty walking (serious hunchback). The lady was asking the staff that why the staffs in Ban Heng is not clearing their used plate or neither serving them new plates. She added on "Why must i have to pay for service charge than?". So, she insisted that she would like to see the manager. However, the manager was still walking around in the restaurant acting like nothing had happened. Than, when the manager and staff were beside our table, we heard the manager saying in Cantonese "don't want to eat ask them to get lost". It was really shocking that someone as a manager would actually treat customer this way and what kept us in awe was that she actually said this in front of her other customers. Finally, the manager decided to slowly walk over to their table with an ipad on her hand. The manager than asked the lady "So, what happen and how?"

Today while I was eating at a restaurant in Toa Payoh (again), this uncle sitting at a table next to me keep kpkb at the food servers, complaining why they so slow and why they keep serving other people food first. As if kpkb can make the food magically be ready. The restaurant got so many people and the servers so busy even the manager was serving as well. I see you arrive also no more than 5 minutes you cannot wait ar? You king or what why must they treat you like VIP? I come in earlier than you my food also haven't arrive.

I was working in a restaurant as a chef, but no matter how hard I work, my boss just refused to give me any OT pay. His excuse was that Singaporean worker very expensive, so to pay OT also very expensive. But I see the other Malaysians and China chefs, this boss willingly give them OT pay, even though they work same OT hours as me. Boss say they are cheap to pay. This makes me so angry and I wanted to resign.

We would like to clarify the issue on the online rat video that has been circulating in the social media with our restaurant being tagged along.

I was eating at a mookata restaurant called Charcoal Thai in Clementi last December with my husband. Guess what i saw! I was shocked to see a cockroach lying beside a piece of fish that I ordered! How come in this very modern city, we can still see such unhygienic practices at a local food and beverage stall? They never see the need to be hygienic, is it? We were lucky as we have not started eating when we discovered the cockroach. It was a horrifying incident. I don't know if I would have fallen really sick if we didn't see the cockroach on time!
