chicken rice chef slashed customer in chinatown
-
A CHICKEN rice chef allegedly went berserk on Sunday night in Chinatown, slashing a customer with a chopper after he had complained that the chicken served was too cold, reported the Lianhe Wanbao.
Picture: WANBAO The incident happened at 8.40pm, just as the dinner crowd was out in full force at the stall in Smith Street.
Stall helpers had taken back the customer's dish after his complaint, allegedly dunking his chicken into hot soup to warm it up.
They also told the customer he need not pay for his meal.
But the man, who was there with his girlfriend, remained unsatisfied.
Eyewitnesses said he walked up to the glass counter separating the kitchen from the dining area and scolded the chef, and allegedly challenged him to a fight.
The chef kept silent and continued working as the dinner crowd looked on stunned.
He ignored the customer's taunts but, as the man turned to leave with his girlfriend, the chef snapped.
He charged outside with his chopper and allegedly ambushed the customer as he was walking down the road, slashing him on his back and thigh.
CHEF TURNS HIMSELF IN
The customer collapsed, bleeding profusely, as his hysterical girlfriend scrambled around for tissue and cloth to stop the bleeding.
Eyewitnesses said the chef looked shocked afterwards and fled, before returning later to turn himself in.
In the meantime, the customer was taken to the Singapore General Hospital (SGH).
The chef started working at the stall about four years ago.
Helpers at the chicken rice shop said the chef would often buy food for them or treat them when he won the lottery.
'He was always joking around,' said Mr Andy Puah, 26, a stall assistant.
Mr Tan said the customer was about 1.8m tall and weighed about 90kg.
A police spokesman said they recived a call at 8.40pm about a fight at Smith Street. When they arrived, a man in his 40s was found with injuries on his back and thigh.
The spokesman added that the police later arrested a man in his 60s.
One eyewitness, Mr Tan K C, a lawyer in his 40s, claimed: 'The customer was hurling vulgarities, scolding the chef's father and mother.'
Customer act tough and curse well but can't fight. So sad. He showed so much intelligence cursing at a man chopping away with his chopper. He is so pathetic to lose his fight against a 60 year old man when he is supposedly younger and stronger. So sad..

Provocation, duress of the circumstances.
But in Singapore little leniency will be shown because of the need for deterrence.

This is considered assault already. Don't think the chef will be let off that easily although he was provoked.

It ok if he goes to jail or get cane, but at least he stand up for his father and mother who are being scolded and condemned.A man ego, dignity and intergrity must be upholded. He will be proud with head high in high court.

Chicken Rice Chicken is supposed to be cold ma
They dunk into ice water so you can get the nice jelly under the skin and cold chicken on hot fragrant rice is like so yummy

Orbi good
Some singaporeans certainly need to be whacked to wake up.
Some are just too damned fussy and irritating, thinking that they pay therefore they are the king.
Having being in the service and F&B line, i seen too many of such idiots, and now there is someone who has "snapped", THIS SERVES AS A WARNING TO ALL.
-
Kinda pity the chef though the whole situation is a bit funny
I hope this serves as a lesson to that moron who goes around provoking people
But then again some people never learn
-
tat guy who started it off ought to be charged also
