The supervisor of Bon Pan Asian, Ray Shao, in Stoke-on-Trent who says he was not in on Wednesday (December 20) has insisted that it was cardamom that the sad buyer discovered on her plate.
He stated: “We deeply understand the customer’s worries and concerns when she found something appearing different and weird. Even though our head chef explained and showed her what it exactly was, her misunderstanding had not been dismissed.
“Obviously it’s not an animal’s foot and folks can see that with their very own eyes. The buyer posted a photograph so different individuals will be capable to see that. Cardamom seeds cut up and are like a fingernail measurement. The photograph consists of some uncooked black cardamoms, entire and damaged, and a few cooked ones picked out of the dish.
He continued: “We’ve had a visit from a council officer and there are no traces of rats in the restaurant. His reply to the customer hopefully will dismiss her suspicions. We have never had pest control problems since we opened in 2015.”
