A waitress at a restaurant in China suffered burns to her face after a large pot of boiling soup exploded when she tried to fish out a lighter a customer had dropped.
A customer at the Haidilao restaurant in Kunming, Yunnan accidentally dropped his lighter into the hot pot, a traditional Chinese meal which involves cooking pieces of meat and other ingredients in a large pot of soup stock at the table.
Footage of the terrifying accident shows the server attempting to retrieve the lighter with ladles when the scalding liquid burst out and splashed on to the waitress and the diners.
