Jayice Tan and her husband were enjoying their ready-to-eat sashimi rice bowl that they bought from Don Don Donki Singapore’s outlet at 100 AM mall last Wednesday, when she spotted “something unusual” on a piece of raw fish.

Upon taking a closer look, the pair were horrified to discover a live parasitic worm wriggling about.
“It was [an] alive and wriggling parasitic worm in the Kaisen Don … What’s worse is that we’ve both eaten and [was] almost finishing it,” she wrote on Facebook.
Her post also featured videos and close-up pictures of the parasitic worm.
“It just makes us feel so uncomfortable and nauseated,” she added. “Never in our lives have we encountered parasitic worms in our food locally or overseas.”
