In a recent incident, a Tiktok influencer, @syafiqrx90, found himself entangled in a strange and unsettling confrontation with the owner of a local restaurant. This encounter took a distressing turn, revealing a disturbing display of rudeness and possible tampering with the food.
The influencer, renowned for his honest reviews, decided to share a video capturing the remarks made by the restaurant owner, which quickly gained viral attention on social media, accumulating an impressive 37K likes.
The Tiktoker explained in his video that the restaurant owner, instead of taking the feedback constructively, decided to retaliate on Facebook by posting sarcastic videos mocking the influencer.
Initially, it seemed like harmless banter, but things soon took a darker turn.
In a particular post, the owner made an unsettling statement, hinting at a mysterious “special ingredient” in the food. It left many of us wondering if something fishy was happening behind the scenes.
“When this influencer goes to Tom’s shop, someone has already been checkmated with a special ingredient in the food… Only the hotel staff knows what Tom means by the ‘special ingredient’. Now, let’s wait for this one.”
One netizen explained the meaning of “special ingredient” in a shared Twitter post.
“Special ingredient, if a hotel staff says it, it means that the food has been spat on or contaminated with saliva or phlegm. There is no double meaning, that’s exactly what it is. Even people who are not hotel staff know about it. Many restaurants do it, so if there is a customer who behaves badly, their food will be contaminated with SPIT, PHLEGM, NOSE MUCUS, TOENAIL CLIPPINGS, and EARWAX.”
The netizen added,
“There are many interpretations. Special customer means a customer who is disrespectful. This is a well-known culture, even Western people do it. It’s in movies too, just Google it. Whether it’s true or not behind the scenes, as long as it satisfies the vengeful heart of a person.”
The gravity of the situation began to sink in.
Reacting to the owner’s actions, the influencer responded in his video, highlighting the questionable behaviour and stating the owner was digging his own grave.
He recognised the power of social media in spreading awareness and wanted to ensure that people were informed about the owner’s unprofessional conduct.
The restaurant owner’s actions left netizens in disbelief, their shock reverberating across the comment section.
Many voiced their agreement that such behaviour was simply unacceptable and far from cool. The restaurant owner’s action left people questioned the owner’s professionalism.

Consequences can unfold when a person fails to handle criticism gracefully. Rather than using the opportunity to learn and improve, the owner’s rude and potentially harmful behaviour only further tarnished his reputation.
