Lady Shows Cloudy Tap Water in S’pore Food Court; Turns Out It Could Just Be Bubbles

We all know that Singaporeans take our food and water seriously. I mean, for one, we’re a nation known for loving good food.

And we’ve been known to turn pee into drinking water.

So when this Singaporean met up with some fishy water at a local food court, you can bet your ass it’s going to blow up.

And it did.

Cloudy, white water.

No, this isn’t a scene from a Channel 8 horror drama. It took place at a Koufu food court in Punggol Plaza.

Here’s What Happened

On 13 Dec, Facebook user 杨丽丝 wrote about her experience at a Koufu food court on Facebook.

She alleged that when she used the tap at the food court, what came out of the tap wasn’t the clear water she was used to.

It’s murky water.

She asked for Singaporeans to be careful when using water in public places and to check before using it.

It was also wondered if the pipes to the taps are linked with the kitchen, which resulted in food contaminated water.

Netizens Leave Comment Citing Scientific Proof

What did you expect the reactions to be?

Oh my god, another food incident. This is getting too much. What the hell?! What’s NEA doing? When is Singapore going to win the World Cup? Why Goody Feed still exists?

Hoh, boy, if you’ve thought that, you’ve never been more wrong.

Because savvy netizens decide to save her the embarrassment of insisting that she’s right by telling her what’s potentially going on.

One even relates with a past murky experience.

And commenters nowadays don’t just say things anyhowly. Sorry, my boss forced me to use that word.

They back it up with studies.

Here’s what the website says:

Once in a while, you get a glass of water and it looks cloudy; maybe milky is a better term. After a few seconds it miraculously clears up! The cloudiness might be caused by the water in the pipes being under a bit more pressure than the water in the glass, but is more likely due to tiny air bubbles in the water. Like any bubble, the air rises to the top of the water and goes into the air above, clearing up the water. Cloudy water, also known as white water, is caused by air bubbles in the water. It is completely harmless.

According to the website, the cloudiness is caused by tiny air bubbles or microbubbles in the water.

Just like any bubble, it’ll rise to the top of the water and escape into the air.

And it assures you and me that cloudy water is completely harmless for consumption.

Koufu Has Responded To The Incident

According to Mothership.SG, Koufu said that they’ve sent the water for tests and it came back clear.

They’ve also contacted the building management and was told that the water source was given the all-clear sign during the annual maintenance.

Nonetheless, the food court will be getting in contact with Ms Yang for more information and will be carrying on the investigation into the matter.

Moral of the story? Maybe one should Google first before posting on social media #justsaying
