Ma Rew Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Hibiscus and Bays

I have been a loyal customer of this place ever since it has opened here in Gulf Harbour but unfortunately had a very disappointing experience tonight. My friend and I decided to stop here for dinner and we had both ordered our usual, once drinks arrived at the table I took a sip of mine and soon realized there was something that was not meant to be there. There was a cockroach in my drink which unfortunately I nearly drank and just spat out on to my napkin.
