A patron claims the eatery washes leftovers to be reused the next day

“I saw a worker washing leftover food, such as chicken, mutton, and tofu—which was clearly unconsumed—before separating it into trays,” the witness said.

They further claimed to have confronted the worker, who allegedly confirmed that the food was being washed to be reused.

“At first, another employee tried to mislead me with dishonest answers, but eventually admitted that the food would indeed be recooked, claiming it was ‘safe’. I want to emphasise that this act is completely unethical, unsafe, and disgusting,” the witness added.
