Netizens criticised seller for being irresponsible
The viral post drew strong reactions online, with many netizens condemning the vendor for being irresponsible.
One user criticised the practice of roadside vending, especially in high-traffic areas.
Translation: I don’t understand since when it became legal to sell on the road? It’s dangerous! And who’s the founder who told them to do this?

Others raised hygiene concerns, accusing vendors of storing food supplies in unsanitary places such as roadside drains.
Translation: What I don’t get is that people are actually buying it. Do you even know where they store their supplies? In the drain. Honestly, how can you bring yourself to eat that?

One user warned about the risk of food poisoning, pointing out the lack of accountability in such setups.
Translation: This isn’t like Indonesia, okay? Please stop doing business like this. They even store food products in the drain. The seller is most likely a foreigner. If you get food poisoning, you won’t be able to track them down.
