snoop1130 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Phuket Super Cheap discontinues ‘Pla Ra’ snake surprise The Phuket News PHUKET:-- Super Cheap have discontinued their orders of the traditional Thai fermented fish dish “Pla Ra” from their supplier after officials confirmed that the suspect meat in a customer’s order was snake, not fish, as ordered. “We learned from Super Cheap management that the reptile was mixed with Pla Ra during the packaging process at a factory in Pathum Thani (outside Bangkok),” Panida Mevichear of the Phuket Consumer Protection Office told The Phuket News today (Sept 30) that “The local health office there is investigating the factory,” she added. The investigation came after Phuket Town noodle vendor Wanida Pakamaad filed a complaint with police on Sept 10 after she discovered what she suspected was snake in Pla Ra that she bought from a Super Cheap store outlet on Surin Rd, Phuket Town. On Sept 12, Ms Wanida reported the discovery to the Phuket office of the Consumer Protection Board at Phuket Provincial Hall, where officials confirmed that the creature found in the pickled fish serving was indeed a snake.

hanssna Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Well, considering the horrible taste and smell of Pla Ra, the snake can only be an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
