Ms. Tan Vlog 'disappears' after the uproar over the 'gold-plated' hot pot, revealing a puzzling attitude towards netizens!

Once a huge phenomenon, Mrs. Tan Vlog unexpectedly "froze" all activity for nearly a month. This disappearance occurred shortly after her restaurant faced intense criticism regarding the quality of its thang co hotpot and food safety and hygiene issues.

The "rich man's" hot pot and the "searching for red meat" experience for diners.

The incident began to escalate in early March 2026 when a social media account posted about a disappointing dining experience at Mrs. Tan Vlog's hotpot restaurant. According to the post, a group of customers spent between 500,000 and 1,000,000 VND on a pot of "thang co" (a type of stew) advertised as a delicious specialty. However, when the dish was served, diners were shocked to find a very sparse amount of lean meat, replaced instead by a thick layer of fat and broth.

Images of the "gold-plated" hot pot – a sarcastic term used by netizens to describe the exorbitant price but poor quality – quickly went viral. Many people argued that paying a considerable amount of money only to find a few pieces of meat to be found was unacceptable. Beyond the issue of quantity, diners also expressed concern about the preparation process, noting that the makeshift outdoor cooking area posed significant hygiene risks, especially in a context where consumers are increasingly demanding about food safety.

The unusual silence and the suspicion of "avoiding" public scrutiny.

Amidst the criticism and demands for explanation from the online community, Mrs. Tan Vlog's attitude has further stirred up public outrage. Instead of clarifying or apologizing to appease her customers, this woman with millions of views has chosen to completely disappear. According to reports, the most recent clip she posted on TikTok and Facebook was from the end of February 2026, showing her cooking thang co (a traditional Vietnamese dish) at a festival. Since then, no new content has been updated.

This silence has been deemed extremely incomprehensible and disrespectful to the audience – those who contributed to the popularity of the Bà Tân Vlog brand. Many believe that "freezing" operations is a form of evading responsibility for the quality issues with ingredients. Some loyal fans have also expressed disappointment, arguing that the rapid rise to fame has caused the team to neglect maintaining credibility and transparency with consumers.

A lesson about reputation and the price of unprofessionalism.

The appeal of Mrs. Tan Vlog originally stemmed from her down-to-earth nature, but when transitioning to professional business, hygiene and quality standards had to be the top priority. The incident of the Thang Co hotpot being exposed for lacking meat was not only a bad meal but also shattered the long-standing trust of the audience. A small oversight in the digital age is enough to destroy an image built up over many years.

The month-long silence from the hotpot restaurant and media outlets raises questions about the future of this "super-sized" empire. Without a proactive and transparent approach, Ms. Tan will struggle to regain public favor after the costly lesson of using virtual fame to pursue real-world business value.
