FLY EGGS FOUND ON MALAYSIAN WOMAN’S FRIED CHICKEN TAKEOUT ORDER
Malaysian Woman Finds Fly Eggs on Chicken Takeout, Files Complaint with KKM
What began as a simple craving for fried chicken turned into a viral food safety horror when a Malaysian woman discovered fly eggs on her takeaway meal—just moments before taking her first bite.
Chicken Craving Turns Into a Nightmare
The woman, who goes by the username @hharleenahassim on Threads, shared her horrifying discovery in a post that quickly went viral. She had ordered a typical spiced fried chicken meal, but instead of enjoying her food, she found clusters of white fly eggs visibly stuck to the chicken giblets.
“I was just about to take a bite when I saw a pile of fly eggs. It was disgusting!” she wrote in her post, which included clear photos of the contaminated food.
Describing the experience as psychologically traumatic, she added that she would avoid not just the restaurant, but all spiced fried chicken—commonly known as ayam gepuk—for at least a year.
Outrage Online: Public Shares Similar Experiences
The post struck a nerve across Malaysian social media. Thousands reacted with a mix of revulsion and anger. In the comments, users shared their own stories about unpleasant takeout surprises—especially involving flies.
“Flies laying eggs is really sneaky – you don’t notice it happening, and they do it fast. The moment you’re not paying attention, your food gets ‘extra ingredients,’” wrote one user.
Others called for action, demanding a boycott of the restaurant in question.
“BOYCOTT! BOYCOTT!” one comment read, while another urged the woman to share the review on Google so more customers would be warned.
Hygiene Concerns and Food Safety Fears
As the conversation grew, it turned toward larger food safety concerns. Many users criticized the restaurant’s hygiene standards, while some suggested filing a report with the authorities to prevent future incidents.
“The hygiene conditions at this restaurant are really concerning,” one commenter said, echoing dozens of similar opinions.
Filing Reports and Taking Action
The woman didn’t stop at just venting online. She later confirmed she had filed official complaints with both Foodpanda and the Health Ministry (KKM).
“Already reported to Foodpanda and KKM. I’m definitely fasting from chicken gepuk for a year to get rid of this trauma first,” she wrote in a follow-up.
Her decision to go public with the incident highlights growing consumer awareness around food delivery and hygiene. Many Malaysians are becoming more cautious as food delivery services continue to rise in popularity, despite customers being unable to inspect food preparation practices.
A Gruesome Reminder: Look Before You Eat
Although this particular case involves just one restaurant, it serves as a graphic reminder of how food safety can be compromised—and how easily a regular meal can become a nightmare.
“From now on, when you get takeout, it’s better to look before you eat,” the woman advised.
