Rat Droppings from Chowking coffee downs reporter

[samsungster]

---

An ABS-CBN correspondent was hospitalized after drinking a cup of coffee with rat droppings at a fastfood restaurant in Manila late last month.

Jenny Reyes experienced vomiting, fever and stomachache several days after she drank the coffee at the Chowking branch in Tutuban, Manila.

Reyes said she brought her family to the restaurant to eat on July 28. She only noticed the droppings after finishing her coffee.

She called the attention of the branch manager and showed the rat droppings inside the cup.

The manager, however, said those were just coffee beans. The manager also declined to issue her a complaint report to prove that she was not making it up.

Reyes disputed the manager's claim, saying that what she found inside the cup were rat droppings. She said the coffee beans could not have materialized inside the cup because she ordered instant coffee.

Reyes was able to convince restaurant management to give her the cup for examination at the Bureau of Food and Drugs.

The BFAD, meanwhile, confirmed after visual and organoleptic tests that the those found inside the cup were indeed rat droppings.

Reyes was first confined at the Perpetual Medical Center in Pamplona, Las Piñas before Chowking management transferred her to the Asian Hospital and Medical Center in Muntinlupa City.

Doctors from the two hospitals said Reyes suffered from amoebiasis.

Yuck! That Jenny Reyes needs to sue Chowking para mo tagam. I had a bad experience with Chowking also, well, my friend did. We ordered noodles for take-out sa Chowking at Gaisano City in CDO. Just as my friend was halfway through her bowl of noodles, akong nakit-an nga naay ok2x nag langoy2x. Yuck! yuck! yuck! Sukad adto never na gyud kong nikaon sa Chowking. Overpriced dirty pit of hell.
