I ate Hawkers yesterday evening and my friend and I noticed that our chicken dumplings came out pink in the middle — of course after I had consumed one. My stomach immediately turned. I have not consumed food since, about an hour after I kept having indigestion
and nausea and almost threw up. It’s been about 16 hours and now I’m having multiple instances of diarrhea, cramps, and the chills.
