Bug surprise in dumpling sparks online frenzy among foodies
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. The incident was shared in the Facebook group พวกเราคือผู้บริโภค (We Are Consumers), aiming to caution others to thoroughly check their food before eating.
The post included the caption, “Jittery dumplings, dumplings that can move, bought from a street vendor,” along with accompanying images and a video. The video clearly showed a large dumpling with a hole, from which a live insect was trying to escape.
The woman revealed that she had already eaten two dumplings before noticing the insect, which left her feeling quite disturbed. The online community quickly reacted with a flood of comments.
“This is the worst I’ve ever seen. Very scary. Whatever it is, if it’s still alive, please help it out. It’s such a terrifying extra.”
“It must have been made the night before. They probably prepared many boxes and then sealed them later, allowing the insect to get in.”
The post also sparked a debate within the group about the identity of the mysterious insect. Many users suggested that it resembled a June beetle or chafer beetle, which are edible insects if properly cooked, either fried or boiled, reported KhaoSod.
Despite these suggestions, many people continued to question how the insect ended up inside the dumpling.
“I think the insect got into the food while the vendor was packing it.”
