As per your recommendation, I drove all the way from woodlands to Joo Chiat to give it a try.

I would confidently say this is the worst meal I ever had. I ordered vegetable, braised meat, salted fish steam pork and some other dishes.

The vegetable was good n so was the braised meat. I cut a piece of steam pork to eat n the texture feels alittle weird as its soft (not like it’s soft n tender kind of feeling) n so I thought it because of the salted fish.

I did not suspect anything n continue eatingthe rest of the dishes. The place are decorated with warm lights m so the place is kind of dark compared to other eating place.

Halfway through my meal, my friend mentioned that the steam pork is uncooked. We all took a closer look n the pork was actually pink in color n 98% of the whole piece is uncooked. Totally raw….. Awwwww…

I called for the waitress n tok her about it. She just gave me a “WTF” face n took the steam pork away. I told her that I do not want it anymore n she can cancel the order of the steam pork. She just rolled her eyes n walk away.

I went to make payment feeling so uncomfortable for eating raw pork. When I’m at the cashier, they insisted on charging me with the pork. I explained that I had return it n I should not be charge as it is uncooked. The person blow his top n said “Miss, we do not have this rule that u return n we can cancel the order. We can just re-steam for u and u can eat it.”

After hearing such irresponsible n rude word, I blew my top. I told him that it’s not right to re-steam food ESP raw meat after letting it sit outside. It will be contaminated.
He continued on insisting that is their all time practice n it’s ok.

He said “well nvm, just count myself unlucky. I’ll not charge u but next time u come n eat, just bring it back for me to resteam.”

Such irresponsible attitude… I was really upset over it n so I called NEA n reported this case.

They did not apologize at all n they don’t even bother to change a new plate. Yet insisted on steaming the old uncooked contaminated meat n expect customer to eat.

WORST place to visit. Not just because the food is nice (actually just alright but it’s pretty ex for just a little
Small dish n plain porridge) n they can throw their weight around n out customer health at risk.

In any case if u do not know what are the risk of taking uncooked pork….. Do read…

- Meat and poultry can contain a number of bacteria that can cause food poisoning. These bugs which include campylobacter, salmonella and most seriously, e.coli are destroyed by high temperatures. If meat is undercooked, it may not reach a sufficiently high temperature to kill the bacteria.
Symptoms of food poisoning include abdominal cramps, diarrhoea and vomiting which can last several days and leave the sufferer feeling very weak.

Beef and lamb can be eaten underdone as long as the meat is a single piece; either joints or smaller cuts such as steaks and chops. This is because the bacteria are found on the surface of the meat and not in the centre. Provided the outside is cooked at a high temperature, the meat is safe to eat, even if it remains pink in the middle.
Pork and poultry should never be undercooked. If you are cooking either, make sure that you cook it until the juices that run out when you put a skewer in, run clear. Undercooked pork can also cause other health problems such as tapeworm and trichinellosis even if it’s a small portion.
Because the bacteria that cause food poisoning live on or near the surface of the meat, the greater the surface area, the greater the risk. Minced or chopped meat of any description and any foods such as sausages and burgers must be thoroughly cooked to avoid the risk of poisoning.

Many people get sick from eating food contaminated by bacteria or other harmful organisms.

The potential health hazards of eating rare pork are not worth taking the risk of eating it undercooked.

Lovely pics. Thanks for sharing. ^^

I also prefer to eat Teochew porridge in coffeeshops or hawker centres where I can look at the dishes and order in front of the stall.
