Eat Rojak, Get Food Poisoning, and Die

[Vroomtattat]

this stall holder make tons of money. Yet he taking risk by serving possibly unhygenic food. One of the causes could be leftover gravy from previous days. If its because of this, he lose his livelyhood.

 

This teaches us a lesson. Too much money makes one complacent.

its very sad, just a simple meal of rojak and so many people are very sick, 1 in coma n 1 dead. I strongly feel that none of the victims deserve to lose their live over a plate of rojak! no one wants this kinda tragedy to happen. my condolence.

[Limhm]

I jus wan to make some assumption. Mostly, when u choose the indian rojak, they will fry them, so there shdnt hav any bacteria...unless they r not fresh ones...

 

Maybe something might hav gone wrong wif the red gravy, I wonder....hmmmm

 

But anyway, I only hav crave for Chinese rojak n only HDB hub one...it's e best....jus eat....less q today...I m so happy. keke

[Scottycam]

almost all the victims said that the gravy tasted "off". So very likely the previous day's gravy was not heated properly before being kept and used again for the next day.

 

Dont be surprised, some(if not most) hawkers practise this.

The stall owners are alright and no sign of food poisoning I supposed.

 

Maybe they know better than to eat the food they sell..

so is the toa payoh rojak at Old Airport road.. not so much of a queue.. but then, i think it's not because of this incident but more to the recession.. people stop having these frills to their meals and go for more of those 2-4dollars food to fulfill a meal

Hope this incident serves as a wakeup call to many of the unhygienic hawkers out there... wonder how on earth many of them managed to get A, B or C grading despite the hygiene standard (or perceived lack of it) at their stalls.

 

Are those A/B/C grading still applicable? Recent visit to AMK Central Hawker, but not notice any being display at stores around

Sometimes very high class place like hotel also not hygenic when you see how the cooks handle the food. I knew because i work as a waiter before in a hotel long times back.

I got one really bad lao sai experience after eating a buffet in a popular hotel restaurant.

The worse true story is what i heard from a friend. A chicken rice stall sold by an old lady. When she cleaned up the table, she actually did not threw away the waste food and actaully she "recycle" back and sell it again. How they knew it? Beacasue a friend's relative selling food at the same foodcourt saw that several times and warn him not to order food from that stall.

Yes , they normally boil the left over from yesterday.....same for mee rebus.....if it is well boiled then chances for it to contaminated is slim.

Looks like there aren't going to be any Q's at the indian rojak and mee rebus stalls. Anyone remember the "Indian Curry Murder Case" where someone killed his relative in a church worker dormitory somewhere around Penang Lane/Stamford Road? The victim was chopped up into pieces and cooked in curry gravy by the killer/killers in the attempt to conceal the crime. Following that, the sale of indian food/curry crashed for a few months. By the way, the killer/killers were not found guilty owing to a technicality, if I am remember correctly. This happened some decades ago.

Agree.

 

Just heard NEA has ordered the whole hawker center to be closed for investigation.

[Babyt]

heard roti prata curry also leave overnight one right? coz leaving overnight makes the curry better...

As long as it is brought to boiling point and kept there for more than 10 mins, that will destroy 99.9999% of the harmful microbs.

 

However, once food is left at room temperature, the population of bateria actually doubles every 20 mins. Over the course of a few hours, the concentration of harmful bateria can reach very harmful concentration. Usually when we eat, our saliver and eventually gastric juice can kill most of the harmful microb, but if there's too much, it just overwhelms the person's system.

 

My point is, if your stomach is weak, try to go for food that is cooked and served on the spot. Take aways are not recommended.

 

Aiya... just eat homecooked food, that's the best.
