A restaurant in Sendayan, Negeri Sembilan, has been ordered to cease operations for 14 days after allegedly serving a woman an asam boi (preserved plum) drink containing a small frog.
According to a report by Berita Harian, an inspection conducted last Friday by the Health Ministry’s Food Safety and Quality Division revealed that the establishment failed to comply with basic food safety standards.
Located on Jalan Pusat Dagangan Sendayan 3, the restaurant was also issued two compound notices for the violations.
The incident came to light after a video went viral on TikTok, in which the woman claimed she had consumed about a quarter of the drink before noticing something unusual at the bottom of the cup.
“I stirred the drink… and that’s when I saw the frog. It looked just like an asam boi. I was completely shocked,” she wrote in the video caption.
Berita Harian’s review of the video showed that it had garnered approximately 2.1 million views, over 56,000 likes, and more than 4,000 comments, sparking widespread concern and disgust among social media users.
