A woman fished out a ceramic tile from her hotpot in a restaurant in southern China.

The video was filmed in Chongqing on October 4.

It was only towards the end of their meal that the shocking discovery was made. In disbelief, Ms Li promptly informed the restaurant staff about the unappetising find.

To their credit, the restaurant promptly waived their bill, acknowledging the distressing situation. Fortunately, no one sustained injuries from this unexpected encounter with the ceramic tile.

The restaurant has yet to provide a concrete explanation for this unusual incident, leaving both Li and her friends understandably unnerved.

Speculation among her friends has led to unsettling thoughts, with some suggesting that the ceramic tile closely resembles bathroom tiling, prompting concerns about hygiene and food safety. The thought of recycled cooking oil has also sent shivers down their spines.

10月4日，重庆。黎女士和朋友到重庆旅游，吃火锅时捞出来一块瓷砖。黎女士称，吃到最后才发现瓷砖，跟店家反映后，进行了免单处理，没有人伤到嘴巴，但剩下的没再继续吃了，店家并未给出具体解释，瓷砖从哪儿进去的。朋友都说很像是厕所的瓷砖片，很恶心很可怕，最害怕是回收利用的那种地沟油。
