Ms Lin, 35, Mei Heong Yuen Dessert in Clementi Mall with a friend. While having her ice shaved dessert, something hard came off her teeth but she ignored it assuming ice cubes and continued eating. On hard substances repeatedly coming down her teeth she then found out that it's actually plastic pieces.
Fierce Ms Lin complained about the same to the store staff. The staff though was not of any help. Thus she contacted with the company's headquarters. The company representative denied the claims and suggested a replacement or refund. Ms Lin refused the offer and made employees present at the store to check the dessert.
The employee then poured the durian paste through a filter and found about eight more plastic fragments."The person in charge stressed that it could not be the store's problem and blamed the problem on the supplier," Ms Lin said.
