Posted August 25, 201213 yr Staff Location: Bedok Reservoir Village, Block 744 Bedok Reservoir Road in August of 2012 1. Key: filth; disgustingly dirty 2. Today, I visited a coffee shop located on Bedok Reservoir Road. 3. To access the toilet area, one had to pass through a set of curtain screens. 4. I observed the two curtain screens, which appeared quite dirty, merely based on their appearance. 5. These curtain screens serve as a repository for some of the most unpleasant germs. 6. The thought that parts of one's body must come into contact with them is alarming! Just imagine if one's face were to touch it; the protective layer of oil on our skin would be compromised. 6.1. Just look at the fabric of the screen... so filthy... Yuck! 7. Our computer keyboard is also quite dirty; consider the implications of unwashed hands or those who use the toilet without washing their hands afterward. 8. Germs reproduce rapidly, and it is not as if these curtains are cleaned daily or even weekly. Appended by Cecil in 2017: Good news! I returned to this coffee shop five years later, and the entire establishment had been renovated, eliminating those unpleasant curtain screens. There is now a simple opening for entering and exiting the toilet. K.I.S.S. = Keep it simple stupid Update: In 2020 and onwards, this coffee shop has had extensive renovations. And all these are long gone. LOL
March 30, 20178 yr Author Staff The coffee shop situated at Block 159 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 4, which overlooks AMK Town Garden West, raises considerable concerns about its cleanliness. The existence of germs is quite troubling. It is recommended to refrain from visiting this establishment, as the staff are probably using the restroom facilities, which raises concerns about the safety of consuming food from this venue. The yellow fabric might first appear to be satisfactory; however, it can potentially contain fecal bacteria and a range of other microorganisms. Take note of these two unattractive panels in the men's restroom. Where is our NEA? How could this be allowed? This raises significant concerns about food preparation, particularly that of the stallholders. It is rather unappealing. The core message is that I have a profound dislike for utilizing restrooms in "Japanese style" restaurants or in the residences of others if such conditions are apparent.
December 5, 20177 yr Author Staff A recently opened coffee shop, called Food Village, is situated at Punggol Waterway and does not have air conditioning. The restrooms are accessed through significant vertical barriers constructed from clear plastic. Such an environment could promote the growth of bacteria. I would be reluctant to buy food from the vendors in this vicinity, especially if the stall operators fail to wash their hands after handling it.

January 4, 20196 yr Author Staff OMG! From afar, looks okay right? Check these photos out...YUCKS!! Disgusting!
January 12, 20205 yr Author Staff I intended to visit the restroom for men. The material is dark... yet it frequently conceals the most unpleasant bacteria.. How disgusting! This prevented me from using the toilet. Temporarily, I have no option but to become a fresh eunuch for a few hours... LOL
December 17, 20213 yr Author Staff Revisited. Yet another unsightly restroom at WCEGA Plaza Coffeeshop, Bukit Batok. An automatic "No Entry" for me.... !
December 25, 20222 yr Author Staff Is it a good idea? Given that the toilet curtains are extremely filthy, the coffee shop opted for black ones! This choice effectively conceals their repulsive condition. Laughing out loud.

December 8, 20231 yr Author Staff At last, I no longer have to feel like a eunuch in this coffee shop restroom. They have lifted the curtains, eliminating any fear of making contact with any part of it! LOL Finally, I can utilize the urinal here! Wcega Plaza

As they have raised the curtains and no fear of touching any parts of it! LOL At last I can use the urinal, here! Oh Dear! Curtain came down. No choice either temporary become a eunuch or find another location with a toilet! That’s life!
April 19, 20241 yr Author Staff Drawing a parallel from "Food for thought" The 'three-second' rule By Singapore Food Agency Published 30 Apr 2019 | Updated 27 Feb 2020 Some of us may be all too familiar with the age-old “three-second rule”. But is it really safe to eat a piece of food that you dropped on the floor, if you pick it up within three seconds of it dropping? Unfortunately, this ‘rule' is a myth! Even if the contact time is shorter than three seconds, the surface of the food item would have been contaminated, for example, by microbes. TIP: Do not eat food that has dropped on the ground, or it may just be #endgame for your stomach! Source & Credit: Food for Thought | The 'three-second' rule (sfa.gov.sg)

To be generous, give it one day and I will not want to pass thru any curtains found on any type of passage way or doors! Plus don't want the face to look like this... or this
