加樂海鮮酒家 - *小強*菠蘿叉燒包 several, place

simon

I went to Richmond 加樂海鮮酒家 for dim sum this morning. http://www.dinehere.ca/restaurant.asp?r=3032

The place was not that busy and we ordered several dishes. One of them was 菠蘿叉燒包. My dad ate one of the 3 buns. I ate one of them. Then I was eating the second one. For some reason before I ate, something in my mind told me to check what was inside. So I bit part of it and then looked inside. There was a small little item in the bun with 2 鬍. I used chopstick to take it out and took a look. Got my mom/dad to take a look too. It was a 小強 (aka 曱甴)!!!!

That's disgusting!!! Inside a 菠蘿叉燒包 they had a 小強. So we called the manager over and told him about it. His attitude was ok, he didn't really deny anything or try to 死撐. He didn't say much and just canceled the item, not even an apology. We just continued with our meal as usual but I'm never going back there again....I don't know if this happens regularly.

If you go there often, just beware if you order something like 菠蘿叉燒包!

guys..i'm really sorry
NOT 75mm and 40mm
It is 7.5mm and 4.0mm, so it was quite small

I haven't done this cm to mm conversion since grade 4 so it was a mathematical error.
I don't think its useful to ...

Actually if you really want to do so, you don't necessary need any pictures or "valid" evidence. Just report it and file a complaint. They'll do their job and investigate. Since I (and the department) don't believe that it only happens occasionally like once a lifetime,  it happened to you and it may likely happened on others and will happen again in the near future. Of course, only if you want to do that.

I don't think its useful to report to health authorities at this point. their plate is for sure in the trash and the pic i have is rather blurry.

Should it be 7.5mm and 4.0mm?

Maybe I should specify the size of 小強 so you guys have a better picture of what happened.
It was about 75mm long and 40mm wide. It was not THAT big and I don't know why I suddenly felt like peeking ...

Not even apologized?  Then they deserve a report to Vancouver Coastal Health.  I'll take a picture for sure too!

Anyways, how can you be sure you and your dad didn't swallow another 小強 from the first two buns? (sorry, not to scare you). Once they have 小強 in the bbq pork buns, they could be in any other food or case could be even worse than what you saw/experienced. An option to put the case in a more serious way (for example, to take some pics and file an official complaint etc) is not only for your own benefit, but also to warn other people to aware of this problem. Posting here in LYK is good, but not the majority of people would know, especially Caucasians.

wow, 75mm long and 40mm wide? How can it fit in a cha siu bun?
I really want to see the picture.......
