Fungus grown muffin before expired
DH bought 2 chocolate muffins from K**g’s Confectioneries on 18 Dec. These muffins are with expiry dates 26 Dec 2007 printed on the packaging.
On 19 Dec morning, I opened one for Ian. Luckily I took a closer look before Ian started eating – there were 4 light white dots. Fungus started growing on it. Another one was okay, which I let Ian ate (hmm… come to think of it, maybe I shouldn’t have!).
The next day was a public holiday, DH took the ‘infected’ muffin to the K**g’s outlet for exchange.
Guess what? It took DH a d*mn long time to get it exchanged. They questioned him like the muffin was stolen like that. They wanted to take down his name and phone numbers, instead of offering the exchange straight away. We weren’t asking for a refund, we just wanted an apple-to-apple exchange!
Finally, after long arguements, they let DH take another muffin. This one, expiry dated 24 Dec 2007.
The next morning, i.e. 21 Dec 2007, I took it out for Ian’s breakfast, and… See for yourself:
And here is the expiry date enlarged:
Boycott King’s Confectionery.
Jason: That’s what we are doing now. We didn’t bother to get the second muffin exchanged, just took photo for blog and thrown away.
Wau Lau..!! like that also can ka..?? go complain .. to that food industry thing lah..or call newspaper..
aiya …. I was never fond of King’s – only go there when I have no choice.
now seeing this, no choice also I will not go.
They have one outlet in Wisma Central near my work place – horrible.
Slow sales people, the outlet looked oily and cramped and the impression is that the food is not fresh – yucks! Never going there again!
Sometime you need to complain to the right people to get some action. Perhaps write to the HQ?
MamaBok/EMYYL: Lazy to complain already. Some more, I threw away the muffin already.
Busy Bee: Thought it is easy to go there, coz it is just behind MIL’s house mah. Now, we are boycotting it liao.
It’s the same as the criminal negligence of Swensens near my place after their door caused my little daughter to loose her toenail…offering only to pay for medical bill..
