Live crabs are not toys to be played with, so House of Seafood at Punggol, you now officially drafted into my boycott list, along with that unethical New Thai Tanic Hotpot restaurant that let customers pick out live seafood from the tanks beside each table—its advertisement is also so crass and cringe-inducing. Oh yes, Sea Tripod Seafood, you are in it too. These kind of restaurants make first world Singapore look like a Third World country with their irresponsible practices, which have no value, except to get attention. For goodness’ sake, stop encouraging people to play with their food! Yes, I also hate it when people take lots of food from buffet trays and yet unable to finish it. This is why I do not go to certain buffet places because I will most probably be thoroughly disgusted by some Third World antics sighted there.
Just because these machines and practices are popular in Third World countries does not mean it is acceptable in Singapore.
And people who supports this kind of practices probably still has their mindsets trapped in stone ages.
I do not usually criticize restaurants on here, but there are some issues that I need to take a stand against, and this is one of them.
Update: House of Seafood at Punggol had ceased the operations of its live crab claw machine. Good for you. To be fair, I changed the title since this will be a criticism against unethical restaurants in general, rather than House of Seafood specifically.
