While shopping at Orchard Central on Sunday (July 14) afternoon, a woman spotted what she thought was an ornament sitting on a vacant dining table.

When she looked closer, she realised, to her horror, that it was a rat. And it was very much alive.

The woman surnamed Qiu, 40, told Shin Min Daily News that she and her husband spotted the rodent at about 1.30pm at the Don Don Donki store, which is located at basement level 2 of the mall.

Recounting her reaction, she said: "I couldn't believe it. The rat wasn't moving at first, so I thought it was just a table decoration. Then I took a closer look and realised it was a real rat."

Oh my, that's quite a scary experience for madam Qiu! I would've been frightened too if I came face to face with a rat while shopping. That's certainly not something you see every day..eek!

Qiu and her husband were in for quite a shock when they Mistook Rat for Table Decor. It's quite unbelievable that Qiu at first thought it was an ornament, especially since it was sitting so still at first! You never know what you'll come across when you step out to shop. It must have been quite something to spot a rat in such an urban setting too, considering it's highly unusual and unexpected.

The Don Don Donki store is probably going to have a increased sales in rat traps or pet rats after this!

Mice and rats... they're the bane of every city's existence, even the cleanest ones like Singapore. You never quite get used to seeing them, do you? Eew.

The details of the encounter are quite shocking; one would not expect to see a rat in a prominent location like that! It's understandable why madam Qiu would be so terrified.

Rats can carry many diseases, and it is a concern that there was one in an area where food is served. I hope Don Don Donki will step up efforts to keep such incidents from happening.

Is there anything else you wish to discuss or hear about this topic?

Eww gross! That's one hardy rat to survive in a busy shopping mall. Wonder how it got there in the first place. Melissa, do you think it's tough like the cockroaches that survived rounds of **** bombings?
