SINGAPORE – A Chinese restaurant that prepared and cooked seafood that had been foraged from Changi Beach has apologised.
In a statement posted on its Facebook page on Aug 8, Havelock Palace confirmed that the marine life “collected from Singapore’s inter-tidal areas” was brought to the restaurant, and was prepared and cooked in its kitchen.
“We acknowledge that accepting and handling ingredients outside our approved sourcing channels did not meet the standards we expect of ourselves as a food establishment,” it said.
“We take responsibility for this and sincerely apologise.”
Its apology comes after a video on Chinese social media platform Douyin showed a group’s haul of marine life – including crabs and shellfish – that had been foraged from Changi Beach, which was then taken to Havelock Palace to be prepared and cooked.
