Pow Sing Restaurant, a famous chicken rice place in Serangoon Gardens, got its license suspended yesterday after at least 29 patrons were struck with gastroenteritis. The Ministry of Health, National Environment Agency and Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority were notified of the stomach flu cases on July 4, and inspected the eatery the day after.
"Several hygiene lapses, including failure to maintain temperature records and allowing an unregistered food handler to prepare food, were observed," they declared in a joint statement.
