Hygiene horror: Straws cut to be reused at Little India 7-Eleven

errrr...don't remember that...I think he only ate at the stalls with disposable utensils, plastics forks, wooden chopsticks. ya, sometimes, I think ta-pao from home...btw, he not from the usual traditional FT countries mentioned here....

FT nihon jin ? some japanese i know bring their own chopsticks .

I remember that some hawkers used to do this in the old days. However they washed the straws & not cut them

I guess Spore is going retro. As for alienating customers, they are probably foreigners & less likely to be regular or repeat customers.

how much can they save on straw ? in biz somethings can save somethings cannot save ...

little india and reused straws? Oh comeon and then blame it on indians? OMG this is outrageous. This must have been from the chinatown 7-11 and done by the evil chinese not the good and wholesome indians.

hi there


1. bro, no different between some dogs and snakes mah!

Lol Good and wholesome Indians? Can you elaborate further as i do not quite get the association of the words.

hey comeon i don't want to be accused of being a racist therefore i have chosen to stereotype indians as good and wholesome while i say chinese are evil and somehow if i put it this way it's ok.

I read about the washing of straws in the 70's so I think Sporeans have moved on since then

In Jakarta I read of someone was using rat meat to make meatballs, in China we have all read of the poison cases ,... These horror stories happen because of unscrupulous 3rd world mentality.
With so many new foreigners coming from the 3rd world, I worry about the attitude of these foreigners. They may think it's worth it to take all these cost cutting measures.

not cut, more like biting off

But honestly speaking, nowadays in Chingalore, most of the utensils in hawker centres looked poorly washed. I will always dipped it into the soup(then discard the soup) and clean the utensils with my tissues.

in some food centre in Bangkok the stalls don't give utensils, they have common utensils counters with boiling pot of water next to it for you to dip fork spoon chopstick in, the water is changed every 2 hours
