‘Feeling a little bit weird’: Aussie woman’s gross find at the bottom of her Chinese takeaway

An Australian woman got more than she bargained for when she found an unsual item at the bottom of her Chinese takeaway.

TikTokker Shraddha, or shraddyvibes, posted a video to the social media platform detailing the story of how she ended up getting $50 back from her meal from the bizarre find.

After eating a portion of the meal, the Adelaide woman kept picking away at the stir fry until she noticed something was off.

“The container was feeling a little bit weird... at the bottom of the container was a working phone,” she explained.

“I pressed on the screen and it said the screen was (too hot), it was still working.”

She had come away with a meal and a new phone from the takeaway, a bizarre find to say the least.

After the gross realisation, she decided to get to the bottom of it and gave the restaurant a buzz.

“I rang the place and said ‘Hey I found a phone in my hotpot’,” the woman said.

“Apparently the chef put the phone down in the takeaway container, and because it was black... it just blended in with the container.

“Then someone else had grabbed the container and put the hotpot on top.”

The TikTokker drove back to the establishment and was greeted by apologetic staff — and a cheeky refund.

“I paid $35 for the hotpot originally and they gave me $50 back, and the chef was also like ‘let me know when you’re here next time and I’ll give you free hotpot,” she said.

Luckily she lived close by to the restaurant and didn’t need to heat up the food, otherwise it could have ended in a disaster.

Despite the mishap, the woman elected not to name and shame the restaurant saying, “mistakes happen”.

Viewers also found humour in the incident.

“Dinner with a side of phone ! 😂,” one person commented.

“This has to be an original experience 🤣💯,” another wrote.
