Who ordered the snake? Chinese restaurant ordered to close after ‘serpent found in noodles’
Authorities issue closure notice after customer posts images of reptile she claims was slithering on top of her vegetables
A restaurant in southern China’s Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region has been ordered to close after one of its customers claimed to have found a snake in her takeaway noodles, mainland media reported.
The woman, a student at Guangxi University surnamed Wang, said she bought a bowl of river snail rice noodles – a local speciality – for her lunch last Friday, News.qq.com reported on Monday.
However, soon after tucking into her meal back at her dorm room, Wang said she made a shocking discovery.
“I’d eaten a few bites of the noodles when I saw a small snake lying on top of the vegetables in the bowl,” she was quoted as saying.
After taking several photographs of the offending serpent, Wang poured the remains of the dish down the toilet, she said.
