A WOMAN who complained about finding a plaster in her noodles at a Hong Kong restaurant got yelled at by the server and was kicked out of the eatery, Sin Chew Daily reported.
The tourist from the mainland said she was with two friends at the beef brisket restaurant, a Michellin guide listed eatery.
While enjoying her food, the woman said she found a used plaster in her wantan noodles and complained about it to the staff.
Instead of receiving an apology, a server hurled profanities and kicked them out, she claimed.
“They called us ‘mainlanders’ who were looking for trouble,” she said in a post on Xiaohongshu.
She reported the matter to the police.
Subsequently, the granddaughter of the restaurant’s founder issued an apology, adding that the rude server had been let go.
She said the restaurant would stop selling wantan for the time being to investigate the case, promising that they would be more careful on food hygiene.
> The latest film from award-winning Malaysian director Chong Keat Aun about baby dumping has passed the scrutiny of censors and will hit the big screens soon, China Press reported.
He said they had asked for two to three scenes in Pavane for an Infant to be changed.
According to Chong, he found out about Malaysia’s baby hatch facilities while working as a radio deejay in 2016.
These are safe houses for women to leave unwanted babies.
Based on true stories, Pavane for an Infant stars Hong Kong-based Malaysian actress Fish Liew as a social worker who takes an interest in a troubled young girl who is considering abortion.
Shot in 2022, the movie was made with a budget of RM6.75mil, believed to be the highest production cost for a local Chinese film.
