After the meal, their young son vomited violently and ended up being rushed off to hospital.
Medics took him for blood tests as his condition worsened.
The couple stormed back to the restaurant with the remains in hand.
But staff refused to deal with the complaint on the spot, according to reports.
The family shared the shocking video online within hours.
Market inspectors checked the eatery that same afternoon, returning again in the evening for a closer look.
The nightmare unfolded at a restaurant in Ningde City in Fujian Province, China, on 27 July.
The popular spot specialises in traditional meat dishes.
An investigation was opened, but it’s currently unclear if it was definitely a bat.
They sealed the foreign object and related ingredients and sent the sample to a professional lab for identification.
The authorities confirmed they are still examining the foreign object.
The parents said their son “vomited non-stop” and underwent biochemical tests, as reported by Need To Know.
Health experts pointed out that bats can carry dangerous diseases, but no illness has been confirmed yet.
The family are still demanding answers over the hygiene scandal.
Investigators have yet to release their full findings as tests continue.
