SFA investigates after diners ingest plastic pieces in durian dessert that they thought was crushed ice
SINGAPORE: The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has begun investigations after a pair of friends discovered hard plastic pieces in their durian snow ice dessert from popular dessert chain Mei Heong Yuen Dessert. The incident took place on 11 June. One of the friends, Jes, told citizen journalism site Stomp that they initially mistook the sharp fragments for crushed ice. 'We encountered small pieces of hard objects, but swallowed them at first, thinking they were crushed ice,' she said, 'However, when we came across a particular hard piece, we realised it was actually hard plastic!' Alarmed, the pair brought the issue to the attention of the restaurant's staff. They requested that the remaining durian purée be filtered in their presence and recorded the process on video. The filtering apparently revealed even more pieces of plastic embedded in the dessert. Jes attempted to escalate the matter, asking to speak with the outlet's manager. However, her call went unanswered. She and her friend then contacted the brand's main outlet in Chinatown. 'The owner answered the call and claimed it was impossible for them to be plastic. She offered a replacement, exchange, or refund,' Jes recounted, 'We explained to her the seriousness of the situation, but she still brushed it off and said she would ask the staff for photos and send the dessert down to her to investigate.' The next day, instead of receiving the promised follow-up from the manager, Jes received a voice message from a staff member who insisted there could not have been any plastic in the durian purée. Jes said that when she called back to express her concerns, the owner became hostile. 'She pushed the responsibility to her supplier and claimed the durian was not grown by her,' Jes said, 'We told her we would report the case to the authorities for investigation and she guilt-tripped us by asking if we wanted to see her die.' SFA has confirmed that it is currently investigating the matter. The government agency told Stomp: 'Food safety is a joint responsibility. While SFA puts in place and enforces the regulatory measures, food operators must play their part by adhering to good food hygiene and preparation practices.'

Field Mouse Netflix thriller (Image via C- Jes studio/ tvN) Netflix is gearing up to captivate global audiences once again with Field Mouse, an upcoming live-action thriller adapted from a popular South Korean webtoon. Set to premiere in the latter half of 2026, this psychological drama explores themes of identity theft, paranoia, and survival, wrapped in a narrative that blends gritty realism with eerie folklore. (According to Netflix) Starring Ryu Jun-yeol and Sul Kyung-gu, this gripping live-action series blends psychological suspense with dark folklore in a chilling fight for existence At the heart of the story is Moon Jae, a solitary novelist who suddenly finds his life stolen his name, his money, and his reputation vanish overnight. With the world no longer recognizing who he is, Moon Jae is thrust into a desperate fight to reclaim his identity. He relies only on No Ja, who used to pressure people into giving back huge debts and now works as a private investigator. Together, the two unlikely partners delve into a shadowy underworld, unraveling a sinister plot that raises disturbing questions about how easily identity can be erased. What sets Field Mouse apart from typical thrillers is its psychological intensity, enhanced by the eerie inspiration it draws from a Korean folktale about a rat that becomes human by consuming human fingernails. This folkloric undertone injects a surreal element into an otherwise modern story, creating a unique tension between the real and the uncanny. The adaptation doesn't just rely on jump scares or traditional suspense tropes, it taps into deep-rooted fears of being unseen, unheard, and utterly erased.
