Woman Finds Caterpillar In Cai Png From Bedok Kopitiam, Says She Lost Her Appetite

Woman Finds Caterpillar In Cai Png From Bedok Kopitiam

When you’re hungry, there’s nothing like a plate of cai png or economy rice to soothe your hunger pangs quickly and cheaply.

However, one woman’s cai png caused her to lose her appetite.

This was apparently after she found some “extra protein” in the form of a caterpillar.

Netizen shares cai png meal with ‘extra ingredient’

In a short TikTok video posted on Tuesday (18 Apr), user Ziwei Yong shared her cai png meal that looked like it included some vegetables and potato slices.

However, it also included an extra ingredient — something long and green that was curled up and apparently not moving.

In the caption, she asked a question she probably already knew the answer to: Is that a caterpillar or a long bean?

Ziwei also gave followers a clue as to where she got this from.

She tagged the clip’s location as a kopitiam located at Block 539 Bedok North Street 3.

Customer lost her appetite immediately

Disgusted, Ziwei said that she lost her appetite immediately.

Those who saw the funny side remarked that it’s just “more protein”.

Another tried to ‘comfort’ her by pointing out that at least, she didn’t have to pay for the extra ‘ingredient’.

Customer didn’t confront stall

Ziwei later told AsiaOne it was “not the worst meal” she has had, though she’ll check her food before eating from now on.

The 24-year-old also revealed that she has yet to inform the stall about the caterpillar in the food.

Saying she doesn’t dare to complain to them, she speculated that they would brush it off as “just a caterpillar”.

Other creepy crawlies found in food

She isn’t the first customer to have found creepy crawlies in their food, unfortunately.

In February, a cockroach was found in a packet of curry chicken rice from a restaurant in Yishun.

And half a cockroach was found in tofu bought from a hawker in Bukit Panjang — sickeningly, the other half might have had been eaten.

Hopefully, none of these unfortunate customers became ill, and the establishments concerned will improve their hygiene.
