The discovery
Thankfully, the customer did not eat her food immediately after receiving her order.
Speaking to Mothership, Toh said she was picking the ginger and onion pieces out when she found the cockroach nestled beneath them.

According to Toh, the incident left her so scared and disgusted that she did not eat anything that night.
She added that she did not make another food delivery order to replace the tainted food, as she had lost her appetite by then.

Full refund processed
At 10:01pm on June 7, Toh added in a comment to her original post that she had already emailed Grab's support centre and called them, but was told to wait for them to get back to her as soon as possible.
When someone commented on her post with the suggestion to report to Singapore Food Agency (SFA) and ask for a full refund from Grab, Toh replied "Yes, all done, thanks".
In response to Mothership's queries, Toh confirmed that Grab has processed a full refund for her.
