Another day, another maggot in your meal. We here at Coconuts KL would be shocked (shocked!) if we hadn’t already seen a noodle maggot from Devi’s Corner ALLEGEDLY walk up outta the frying pan and onto the street.
Today’s story comes hot off the heels of a viral post and photo that has been circulating in the wondrous world of Facebook. A man in his 40s from Selangor has claimed that an Ipoh nasi kandar shop served him something more than just delicious curries. They also gave him a lil’ larvae treat.
Like any good Samaritan, he filed a police report at Pekan Baru police station, claiming that the restaurant did not offer him an adequate response to the claim. So … like, you had to pay for the maggot?
But in a major plot twist, the “popular outlet” has come out swinging in its own defense, filing a counter report claiming that nefarious forces were at work, out to smear the good name, and cleanliness, of their nasi kandar.
What’s more, the smear campaign is “politically motivated,” according to an exclusive interview with the shop’s owner in The Star.
Many from the state have visited his restaurant, including politicians and VIPs, making other political parties jealous.
Until the health department does a spot check, the proof will remain in the pudding, and the maggot will remain in the mee.
In the meantime, Malaysians, whether it’s chocolate or chicken, bite down with caution.
