A woman purportedly regurgitated her lunch after finding a centipede midway through consuming a packet of 'cai fan'.
When her mother returned to the Bukit Batok coffee shop stall to complain, a disagreement occurred.
"(You) won't die from eating it, there's no problem" an employee allegedly retorted.
The 60-year-old mother, surnamed Lin, told Shin Min Daily News that her daughter had felt queasy and vomited after spotting the 4cm-long insect on Thursday (Sept 24).
The family had bought two packets of 'cai fan' from the coffee shop at Block 155 Bukit Batok Street 11 for about $12.
The unhappy Lin claimed that they were not offered an apology for the incident, and even faced retortation.
"It was a black centipede, which are poisonous, so won't you die? I told her that since it was okay, she should eat it, but she didn't dare to."
Lin said they will not patronise the stall again.
'Give it to me and I'll eat it'
When contacted by Shin Min, the employee involved confirmed that an argument had happened, but rebutted Lin's claim about not apologising.
"Although we couldn't determine if it was from our stall, we were willing to refund and even told them they could choose a few dishes for free, but they didn't accept it."
The employee also said she had told the son-in-law that the vomiting might be a psychological reaction.
"I just meant that his wife's discomfort was likely not from food poisoning, and I didn't say the phrase 'won't die from eating it'," she claimed.
On her "not daring" to eat the centipede, the employee said Lin did not want to pass her the packet of food.
"I said, 'Give it to me and I'll eat it!', but she didn't. She might have been scared I would really do so," she told Shin Min, adding that they are willing to refund or compensate for any medical expenses.
Another male 'cai fan' stall employee also said they will reflect on the incident and prepare food with more care.
The Singapore Food Agency told Shin Min it is looking into the matter.

据称，一名女子在食用一包“菜饭”时，发现里面有一条蜈蚣，随后将午餐全部吐了出来。
当她母亲回到武吉巴督咖啡店摊位投诉时，双方发生了争执。
据称，一名员工反驳道：“（你）吃了不会死的，没问题。”
这位60岁的林姓母亲告诉《新明日报》，她的女儿在周四（9月24日）发现这只4厘米长的昆虫后感到恶心并呕吐。
这家人从武吉巴督 11 街 155 座的咖啡店花了大约 12 美元买了两个“菜粉”。
不满的林女士声称，他们没有就此事得到道歉，甚至还遭到了反驳。
“那是一条黑色的蜈蚣，有毒的，你不会死吗？我告诉她既然没事，就吃吧，但她不敢。”
林女士表示他们以后不会再光顾这个摊位了。
给我，我吃掉它。
《新明日报》联系到涉事员工后，该员工证实确实发生过争吵，但反驳了林某关于没有道歉的说法。
“虽然我们无法确定食物是否来自我们的摊位，但我们愿意退款，甚至告诉他们可以免费挑选几道菜，但他们不接受。”
该员工还表示，她曾告诉女婿，呕吐可能是心理反应。
“我的意思是，他妻子的不适很可能不是食物中毒引起的，我并没有说‘吃了不会死’这样的话，”她辩解道。
对于她“不敢”吃蜈蚣这件事，该员工说林不想把食物包递给她。
“我说，‘给我，我吃！’，但她没给。她可能害怕我真的会吃，”她告诉《新明日报》，并补充说，他们愿意退还或补偿任何医疗费用。
另一名菜饭摊的男性员工也表示，他们会反思这起事件，并在准备食物时更加谨慎。
新加坡食品局告诉《新明日报》，他们正在调查此事。
