Woman vows never to order takeaway food again after finding more than THIRTY stomach churning insects in her meal of shrimp and rice
Hungry office worker Li was left horrified by the discovery and called the restaurant ‘unscrupulous’
A HUNGRY young woman has vowed to never order takeaway food again after finding dozens of giant bugs in her Chinese meal.
The unfortunate office worker, identified only by her surname Li, claimed she ordered the insect infested meal through the restaurant’s online service.
Food fan Li, who works in Changsha, China, revealed her stomach was grumbling when her shrimp and rice meal arrived at 2pm and she immediately got stuck in.
However, when she started to use her chopsticks to sift around the portion of shrimp and vegetables, which was separate from the rice, she found 38 shelled bugs in her food.
Clean eating enthusiast Li said the gruesome insects looked similar to shrimp which may explain the reason why the restaurant did not notice the infestation.
The former fast food fanatic placed the bulging insects on her rice and promptly took a snap with her phone camera.
She uploaded the disturbing photo online and also informed local authorities about the takeaway shop, which she has described as "unscrupulous".
The owner of Yu Ying Family Restaurant, apologised to poor Li and also refunded the money for her disgusting meal.
The business reportedly blamed the food distributors who provided the shrimp.
But the restaurant will likely be shut down pending an official investigation by local food safety authorities.
Local media representatives reportedly visited the business and confirmed that the meal Li ordered is popular with the business shifting around 30 orders a day to ravenous customers.
