A shocking discovery of a metal fragment in crispy pork left a woman stunned at a local restaurant in Bangkok. Despite her calmness in approaching the vendor to inform them of the discovery, she was met with indifference and received no apology.

A woman posted in the พวกเราคือผู้บริโภค (We Are Consumers) Facebook group about her experience at a food stall in Prawet district in Bangkok. She recounted purchasing a meal only to find a metal object resembling a nail embedded in the crispy pork.

“This is what I found in the last piece of crispy pork on my plate. Luckily, I always cut my food in half before eating. When I found it, I was shocked along with my two friends. I can’t imagine what would have happened if I had eaten it whole.

“But I remained calm and didn’t create a scene because there were many other customers dining at the time. I decided to quietly return the plate and whispered to the vendor, ‘Excuse me, I found a piece of metal similar to a nail in my pork.'”

The vendor glanced at the plate and responded, “That couldn’t have happened while I was cooking,” before turning away. The woman persisted, explaining, “No, it was inside the crispy pork. I found it when I cut it in half.” Her friend even showed the vendor the piece of pork with the visible hole. Despite this, the vendor continued cooking without acknowledging the issue or offering an apology.

Following her post, numerous members of the group inquired about the location of the food stall and criticised the vendor for her lack of apology and refusal to acknowledge the foreign object in the dish, reported KhaoSod.

In related news, a viral post on social media has caused quite a stir among food lovers after a woman discovered a live insect inside a dumpling she bought from a street vendor.
