M’sian Shares How KKM Raided a Korean Eatery in KL to Issue Closure Notice Right After He Ordered His Food

A netizen recently shared on X about a surprise visit by the Ministry of Health (KKM) to a famous Korean eatery in a Kuala Lumpur mall.

According to the post, he mentioned how he and his friends were about to dine there when KKM suddenly showed up for an inspection.

“Our B40 food spot got raided”

The user added that he had just arrived and placed his order when, out of nowhere, KKM slapped a closure notice right at the counter for everyone to see.

The caption of the user’s post reads,

“Latest info: Our B40 Korean food spot in Kuala Lumpur branch got raided by KKM and was immediately hit with a notice. Right after we placed our order, the guy slapped the closure notice sticker on the shop.”

Netizens started sharing their own experiences and speculations about the eatery, with many expressing that they weren’t surprised by the news.

“After I bought it, small cockroaches and insects started crawling out of the plate. I showed it to the cashier, and he swapped it for something else. While I noticed things moving around on the table, I couldn’t see where they were coming from.”

“It’s usually because the place is dirty, possibly to close for a week for cleaning. A mall manager I know once told me that if a customer reports seeing cockroaches near the food, they’ll inspect the place the next day. He actually found cockroaches and had to shut the shop down.”

“If the Ministry of Health closes the place immediately, it means the kitchen is extremely dirty, with pests running around. If it’s that filthy, it’s no surprise they’ve been fined.”

“Internal info: Compliance with food safety and typhoid regulations. A total of 5 outlets have been shut down.”

“It’s not just about cleanliness. Food contamination risks are also a concern, such as meat being stored with vegetables or fish, the presence of pests, and the use of expired or damaged ingredients. It also includes workers without proper typhoid vaccinations or food handler certificates.”
