Found an interesting article, Quoted from EDMW:

She had 'complained loudly' when told drinks from outside were not allowed
By Sarah Ng

A QUIET dinner at a quiet restaurant in Upper Thomson Road turned ugly on Friday night when a spat broke out between the chef and a customer.
Teacher Ang Ai Min, 43, claims she was left with bruises on both her arms after the chef at the Le P'tit Breton, a French crepe restaurant at Thomson Imperial Court, physically forced her from the premises during an argument.

The problem started because Mrs Ang's two sons had brought a drink into the restaurant.

The co-owner of the two-year-old restaurant, Ms Sabrina Tan, 42, told her that drinks bought outside were not allowed in the eatery.

Ms Tan said: 'She told me off and said that I was picky.

'She also said that her sons did not drink in the restaurant. Then she stood up and said loudly that she was not eating at our restaurant anymore.'

Ms Tan said that Mrs Ang was still complaining loudly when she walked past the open-concept kitchen in the middle of the restaurant.

'Our chef told her to keep quiet, but she continued with her complaining and was taking her time to leave the restaurant,' said Ms Tan.

Mrs Ang alleges that the chef then grabbed her and forced her out.

She told The Sunday Times yesterday: 'We were leaving when the chef waved a spatula at me and told me that I can't talk so loudly in his restaurant. He also told me to get out.

'So I asked him why I can't talk loudly, and before I knew it he grabbed my arms from behind and yanked me out of the door,' she said.

'It all happened so quickly. I was so shocked that I didn't even scream for help.'

She called the police while outside the restaurant and later went to see a doctor for her bruises.

'I want people to know that such behaviour is unacceptable. How can anyone lay his hands on another person, not to mention using brute force on a customer?' she said.

Ms Tan said: 'The chef probably grabbed her arms, but it was not for no reason.'

She said that Mrs Ang had created a scene by complaining so loudly inside the quiet, 24-seater restaurant while making her way out.

She added: 'Our restaurant is a small and cosy place with a quiet ambience and we have to consider how other diners might feel about the noise.'

The police confirmed that they received a call from Mrs Ang at 7.35pm on Friday.

They will be following up with the case.


End of article. Whose fault is it? I personally feel that the teacher is at fault. Teacher shouting inside a quiet restaurant, now we can finally understand why some attitude of our teenagers nowadays is so rude liao. Then no drinks allowed inside restaurant they chef already give warning, she should just leave with her 2 brats. She claims that the chef was rude, well then you can always do it the Singapore way, COMPLAIN...shouting makes you lose face and well, you get yourself into trouble next. Taking your own sweet time to leave the restaurant, which cause the chef to shove you outside, i take that the shoving part is very polite already, teacher should be greatful. Should we make a report to MOE to look out for such teachers as we may be entrusting our kids to such Uncouth ppl in future? As for the chef, nothing wrong, if the teacher does tis overseas, she can find herself bruised in the back alley. Those who got watch One Piece one, i believe u guys know Sanji de Cook. We learned something inside the story. "This is a restaurant, no matter you are a good guy or bad guy, as long as you are hungry, this place is for you to EAT. However, if you are here to create trouble, then you better get out as fast as possible." A chef cooks for the hungry, not his job to serve difficult customers.

LOL~My personal views la, may not be right. What abt u guys? What you all think, who is at fault? Some others feel that both are wrong coz the cook should not use force, should have jus invited her out. Feel free to drop views in my taggy ya...
