No, BreadTalk doesn’t have a new baked good variety topped with black pork floss, that’s actually a big furry rat chilling in one of their cooling racks.
BreadTalk Philippines, the local franchise of the Singapore-based chain, came clean today about a viral video that captured a rodent chilling inside one of its stores in Pampanga.
It said “sorry” with a graphic of a crying cat (because, why not?) on Facebook and said that it has started investigating how the rat got there. They also told customers that the store in question has been sterilized.

The video started to circulate online earlier this month and has been reuploaded by various Facebook pages and groups since. In it, the rat, which looks to be the same size as one of BreadTalk’s buns, is seen sitting atop baked goods on a cooling rack. The store had already closed, so the witness captured it on video through a glass wall.
The witness tapped the wall, moving the rat to burrow itself its head inside one of the cooling rack’s slots.
In its post, BreadTalk also thanked those who brought the incident to their attention.
“We are very sorry this happened. We will do everything we can to ensure this does not happen again,”
The film Ratatouille just isn’t as cute in real life.
