Eating at Vansh -Indian restaurant, Singapore
Going out for a Sunday family lunch should be an enjoyable time for all - bonding and sharing stories of exciting events during the week and planning upcoming events.
Well we ordered a simple murg malai tika - chicken marinated with cream and a few Indian spices for my son separately from our other dishes. Usually Indian restaurants marinate everything with ground nuts. However, after speaking to the manager they assured us they would take care and prepare my son's food without eggs and nuts.
Once my son's dish arrived we all started to enjoy our meal. My son took a few bites and then started complaining something was burning in his mouth. We looked carefully at the dish and moved around the garnish of onions which was under the chicken.....to our shock and horror we found peanuts under the onions !!!
Do these people understand the seriousness of what they had done my son started complaining of a tummy ache, cramps and then once we rushed him home he threw up and broke out into hives all over his body.
Due to the restaurant's negligence a person could have been hospitalized if they were anaphylactic!! What were the kitchen staff thinking... absolutely shocking...after you explain everything to the wait staff you would expect a certain level of assurance for the food to be marinated separately and prepared with care!!
Management called the next day to apologize and received quite a lecture from me...it was a very upsetting experience. Sometimes the allergic reaction is so severe that my son misses school for a few days!!
The management did ask me to come back....sure once you are all educated on the seriousness of food allergies we would love to come back to a safe dining experience!!
