It all started after the local borough warden handed out Double Ninth cash gifts for elders, alongside campaign materials for a KMT candidate and a delectable slice of traditional sponge cake. The sweet gesture seemed nice, but it turns out that the cake had black dots of what appeared to be mold all over the surface. A concerned local took the cake back to the warden’s office, only for her husband to swallow it up in one go and insisting it was safe to eat. But locals wonder whether he was actually just trying to destroy the evidence. Let’s watch how it went down. - It’s moldy. - They were baked last night. - Regardless, it’s moldy. It doesn’t matter when it was made. - Why did you eat it? What was that for! Why would you eat it! What’s the goal here? Niece Saw moldy cake I took it out, and saw it was moldy. I told my aunt, “You can’t eat this.” Then, everyone told me to fetch the borough warden, since she gave it out. When I did, her husband straight-up took a bite of the cake claiming it wasn’t moldy, and that it was fine to eat. He ate it up in one go! I was flabbergasted! He gulped it down, and then told me to go get the cake tested. So you’re telling me you gave out 10 or 20 cake pieces and only mine was moldy? What about food safety and hygiene? The cake didn’t bear a manufacturing date or an expiry date. It wasn’t vacuum packed. Did they expect us to just eat food waste? The incident happened in Xinpu in Hsinchu County. Xinpu’s mayor distributed the Double Ninth Festival cash gifts through local borough wardens, one of which decided to sweeten the deal with traditional sponge cake she’d received from a friend. Unfortunately, the treat came with a side of mold. The warden, Wu Kuei-hsiang, has kept quiet, reportedly insisting in private that the suspicious spots were just ink stains. Her husband’s one-bite showdown ultimately stole the show, leaving residents scratching their heads over what exactly they just witnessed.
