SINGAPORE: A man has reported seeing a bug in a Pepper Lunch meal that his daughter ordered from a food delivery platform.
In a Facebook post on Saturday, Lee Steven said she had ordered the “Chicken Pepper Rice Bowl Set A” using GrabFood from the Japanese restaurant chain’s outlet at Compass One in Sengkang.
He added: “After a few bites, she noticed that there was a cockroach in the bowl which seemed to be cooked. She felt very traumatised and nauseous.”
