Internet Wants To "Call The Police" After Watching Viral Video Of Matcha Fried Rice
Matcha has taken over the world and how. From cheesecakes and lattes to croissants, this Japanese ingredient has been added to everything. Its vibrant, stunning colour makes any dish pop. Some people love it, some don't, but one thing's certain - it's wildly popular. While these combinations are now common, have you ever heard of matcha mixed into fried rice? Yep, you read that right. A video circulating on Instagram has captured the internet's attention and features a man making fried rice with matcha. The internet couldn't stop watching and the reactions have been pouring in. Shared by Instagram user @foodmakescalhappy, the video shows a man adding matcha powder to rice in a pan. He then tosses in eggs, garlic, soy sauce, wasabi, miso and spring onions. After giving everything a quick stir-fry, he takes a bite of the vibrant green creation. The verdict? He wasn't a fan. The matcha clashed with the other flavours, leaving a bitter aftertaste. Sharing the video, he summed it up in the caption: "Matcha fried rice, sigh." Curious to see how it turned out? View this post on Instagram A post shared by Calvin Lee | Singapore Foodie (@foodmakescalhappy) Ever thought matcha could go too far? The internet certainly has. Since being shared, the video has racked up over 98K views and 1.9K likes - and it's not just the colour that has people talking. The unusual combination of fried rice and matcha left viewers both amused and appalled, and the comment section is an absolute goldmine. Here are some of the most hilarious reactions: "Too much matcha.. You need to pair it with something sweet and sour maybe." "I think this works." "Definitely too much of a good thing, bro. Matcha usually is like 1-2 teaspoons. I can imagine with the right portions, it would be a rendition of Hakka Lei Cha (Thunder Tea Rice). Should be quite good." "There was too much green." "I'll call the police and ambulance." "I just turned from half Japanese to full white." "Bro,I have the same matcha and was thinking of cooking matcha fried rice last week." "Not the kind of greens I imagined for rice." "This is illegal." Clearly, the internet isn't holding back. Would you dare to try it?

Woman says she found receipt under rice and vegetables in her food order
SINGAPORE: A woman took to social media with the complaint that she had found a receipt under a pile of rice and vegetables included in her order. On the popular COMPLAINT SINGAPORE Facebook group page on Monday (Apr 21), the woman wrote that she had placed her order via a food delivery service to the Tampines Hub outlet of Thunder Tea Rice. The post author appealed to Thunder Tea Rice to 'please look into the hygiene and food safety of this outlet!!' She said she was 'very shocked to find receipts underneath the base of thunder rice ordered. The receipt is well hidden underneath the pile of rice and vegetables'. She added that the rice appeared to have been left over from the day before, as it was 'cold and hard to digest'. The woman posted several photos, with a number of them showing a receipt mixed in with a food order. In one caption, she wrote, 'Rice still sticking onto the receipt at the base of the food.' FB screengrab/ COMPLAINT SINGAPORE She also posted a picture of a disposable bowl with a receipt at the bottom along with some grains of rice. Under a picture of an egg dish, she wrote, 'Foreign unchewable object found in egg too! Omg!' FB screengrab/ COMPLAINT SINGAPORE The Independent Singapore has reached out to the post author, as well as to Thunder Tea Rice, for further comments or updates. One netizen commenting on the post, shared by some group members, wrote that the post author could send feedback to the Singapore Food Agency, which is under the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment. It oversees food safety and security in Singapore. Unfortunately, this is not the first time someone has found a foreign object in their food. It happens from time to time. In October, a woman posted a picture of an unwanted object in her ordered meal and called herself 'lucky' that she did not eat it . Her food, which she had bought at the Sembawang MRT, appeared to contain a piece of metal. Commenters on this particular photo said the piece might have come from a scrubbing ball or pad used for washing plates or cooking pans. One noted these pieces can easily break off when the scrubber has been used too many times and is worn out. This does not only happen in Singapore, however. In September, a customer at a Sam's Club in Changzhou, Jiangsu province, discovered a human tooth embedded in a mooncake she had purchased. The incident, which quickly gained attention after the woman shared a video on Douyin, sparked an investigation into the US supermarket chain's food safety practices. /TISG Read also: Mother disgusted to find live caterpillar in chicken rice of her 3yo child while dining at Jurong Point food court
