Diner Spots Baby Cockroaches On Raw Meat At KL Hotpot Eatery, DBKL Orders Outlet To Close

A hotpot buffet eatery inside a Kuala Lumpur mall was ordered to temporarily close after DBKL officers found cockroaches during an inspection. The inspection followed a diner’s complaint that what appeared to be baby cockroaches were crawling among raw meat on her plate. The outlet was ordered to close from 26 August to 9 September for corrective measures and cleaning.

Diner Claims Baby Cockroaches Were Crawling Among Raw Meat

What was supposed to be a normal hotpot meal turned into something the diner probably wishes she could unsee. According to a Threads post reported by WORLD OF BUZZ, the diner claimed she noticed what appeared to be baby cockroaches crawling among the raw meat on her plate while she was getting ready to eat. She described the experience as “traumatising” and warned others to check their food before eating. While the initial discovery came from the diner’s own account, the complaint did not end on social media as it eventually prompted an inspection of the premises by DBKL.

DBKL Inspection Finds More Cockroaches Inside The Eatery

Following the complaint, DBKL’s Sanitation Unit under the Titiwangsa Zone 5 Health Office, Department of Health and Environment inspected the outlet, and officers reportedly found more cockroaches inside the premises. According to the information reported, cockroaches were found in the kitchen as well as on an oil bottle and refrigerator door. DBKL subsequently ordered the eatery to close from 26 August until 9 September under the Food Establishment Licensing By-Laws (WPKL) 2016. The temporary closure is intended to allow the operator to carry out corrective measures and thoroughly clean the premises before moving forward.

Mall Management Responds As Outlet Temporarily Closes

The mall management also responded after receiving the complaint, saying that it takes food hygiene and safety seriously. In a Threads post, the mall said its operations team immediately visited the outlet and conducted an inspection together with the tenant, adding that further action was being taken and the situation would continue to be monitored closely. DBKL, meanwhile, stressed its commitment to ensuring food establishments across Kuala Lumpur comply with public health and hygiene requirements. While the diner initially claimed to have seen baby cockroaches on her raw meat, the subsequent DBKL inspection independently established that cockroaches were present elsewhere within the premises.
