According to Asia One News:

A WOMAN is in coma and at least 28 others have been hospitalised after being hit by severe food poisoning after eating at a famous Indian rojak stall in Geylang Serai last Friday, reported The New Paper on Sunday.

More than 100 people sought hospital treatment after eating at the Rojak Geylang Serai stall at #01-320 at Geylang Serai market, which had previously been featured on Makansutra.

- Food poisoning! It never cease to surprise me how bad the state of some of the food stalls in Singapore! Some of them are even promoted in TV shows for how “tasty” they are.

There may be more then meets the eye here.

Let me list out a few wacky things that may had happened.

1. Disgruntled ex-employee final farewell gift?
2. Jealous competitors making their mark?
3. Unhappy customer’s revenge for bad service?
4. International Terrorist Forgets his canister of “tasty sauce” somewhere near the stall.
5. Stall owner who hack care about cleanliness?

Wacky Solutions to avoid eating at dangerous stalls.

1. Ask the stall owner if the food is spiked before buying
2. See the faces of all the people around the stall if they looked ill
3. Examine the stall cleanliness and surrounding state of hygiene such as the nearby toilet.
4. If the stall owner wear a dirty clothes
5. If the stall owner handle food & money without gloves
6. If the stall owner smokes while cooking
7. If you had prayed that day.
8. If your lucky 4D lottery numbers strikes…haha

Of course, times are bad and the stall owners need help as well for their livelihood depends on our unconditional love for eating out but we do have to take into consideration of the standard of food we eat.

Make sure we are well aware of the risk we are taking just like when we go overseas and eat at the back alley, always be cautious.
