Havelock Palace apologises after it cooks seafood that was foraged from Changi Beach. The restaurant says it regrets the incident and has taken steps to address how seafood is sourced and handled.
The dispute comes after online criticism about the seafood, with commenters raising concerns about the way it was obtained and the volume involved. Reporting from different outlets describes the online backlash as focusing on the foraging in mass quantities and questions about whether the sources were authorised.
In response, the restaurant says it is tightening controls over its supply chain. It now prohibits food from unauthorised or unverified sources entering its kitchen. The apology and the new restriction are aimed at preventing similar incidents and ensuring future compliance with sourcing standards.
