One of the rats must have took MRT from Bukit Batok to Marina Square to have lunch at Hotpot Culture. Sebei gross sia. https://sg.news.yahoo.com/blogs/what-is-buzzing/rats--customers-find--extra-ingredient--at-porridge-buffet---070503504.html [uPDATED 9 January 2015, 8:30 PM: NEA suspends Hotpot Culture Restaurant, investigating rat issue] The National Environment Authority (NEA) has suspended Hotpot Culture Restaurant after a rat carcass was allegedly found in one of its dishes. "The restaurant has been instructed to suspend its operations immediately while NEA conducts its investigations," said its spokesman in a media statement to Yahoo Singapore. What was supposed to be a value-for-money porridge buffet for a group of colleagues turned into a stomach churning experience after a customer allegedly spotted a dead rat in one of the restaurant’s free-flow dishes. Ms Caron Chan, who declined to reveal her occupation, was with four other colleagues at Hot Pot Culture’s porridge buffet at Marina Square when they made the grisly find. According to her, a colleague had spotted what she thought was a rat’s tail in a vegetable dish. Chan then proceeded to scoop out the rest of the mystery meat, to discover to her disgust that it was a whole rat carcass. She then approached a staff member. “The staff member didn’t even react quickly, she handled something else first, then came to us and told another employee to remove it. She just said sorry and that they would serve a new batch,” said Chan. “What about the other customers who already ate it? That was so gross. They should have quickly stopped operations.” Completely turned off by their find, Chan and her colleagues left the restaurant without paying, but informed the table next to them, which had already eaten the dish. “The lady at the table next to us told us that she was still charged by the restaurant. She has already lodged a complaint with the National Environment Agency,” said Chan, who posted photos of the rat dish on her Facebook account, which has since been shared widely. When Yahoo Singapore called Hot Pot Culture, the manager on duty said she was unaware of the rat incident. “As far as I know, I just heard that the dish wasn’t fresh and so we replaced it,” she said. When pressed further for information from the management, she took down the contact of this reporter and said the owner would be in touch. Another report from Stomp http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/this-urban-jungle/eeew-body-of-rat-found-in-dish-of-salted-vegetables-at-chinese-restaurant The lady should have called police & NEA right away and not inform the staff working there. Stand there with her colleagues to stop ppl from eating anything. Call police is to make sure the staff do not take the dish away and their respond time may be faster dan NEA.

Does anyone know of any place that can repair the dish on those deep dish rims, where the rim is finished in chrome. I repeat, in chrome. I know people send their kerbed dish rims to shops and grind away the edges. But I believe this cannot be done if the dish(or lip) is chromed or painted right?

Contemplating in getting a dish washer but have a few questions: a) Is it really more economical to use dish washer to wash everything once a day? b) How about energy consumption? c) Can really wash dishes cleaner than human effort? d) Which brand is reliable? Thank you very much. Regards,

Anyone using any dish washer ? Any good model that can wash the plates clean ?

Whats the 1st dish you cooked? More importantly, will you still cook it to impress your gf / wife or even kids? Maybe we have moved on and improved, what's the 'signature' dish(es) now? How about your own 'creative' dish, any idea? or you are ready to show off now? Side note: For those who only specialise in Instant-noodle, i tried one brand and it came with big thin slices of beef that tasted so tender and tasty i felt they melted in my mouth.... the soup came from a paste, not some chemical powder............ no MSG feel at all, very authetic and natural flavour. about S$7 per packet.

Can Chilli Crab, etc be considered our National Dish??..... I feel its not unique enough, a National Dish should 'combine' uniqueness + food culture(s) of the people...... anyone has ideas to share how to create it?? In fact, we should have a unique national dress, actually two: one for everyday, one for special/formal ocassion....

Just curious what is the hottest or most spicy dish you have eaten in Singapore? Recommend me something so fiery that it can cause spontaneous sweating, burning tongue and maybe even tummy upset.

Sambal or cuttlefish? I is like cuttle fish

STOMPer is too young to remember that this dish was around at least 20-30 years ago. Apparently it has been unbanned in certain Canto speaking parts of the world.

Anyone?

Me kena before at the Japanese restaurant inside the RWS Casino. Ordered the lobster but the waitress didn't get back to us on the price, the actual bill was $400+ for the lobster. ------------------------------------------- http://yfittopostblogsg.files.wordpress.co...pshot.gif?w=400 http://sg.yfittopostblog.com/2010/06/30/s1...h-dish-shocker/ A 35-year-old diner and four friends feasted on a steamed fish dish at a restaurant in Resorts World Sentosa (RWS). At the end of the meal, upon receiving the bill, his jaw hit the ground. What seemed like a simple dish ended up costing a whopping S$1,224. The diner, who only wanted to be known as Mr Liu, took his four friends to RWS
