A: Them? Who?
B: Those people working at the Chinese food shop in Section 14 (opposite Kemaman Kopitiam).
A: Eh seriously? Why?
B: Inspection by MBPJ. They said the premise and the workers are not clean.

Food hygiene is the most vital in our daily lives. The definition of ‘food hygiene’ can be varied from one individual to another. Workers, food, cutleries, plates, bowls and pots and place where the stalls are located are factors contribute to the cleanliness of how food is served, also one of the requirements that the local council has set in the list of rules and regulations.

About 6.30pm yesterday, my roomie and I decided to walk to the opposite food shop to get some dinner. To our surprise, the shop is closed and there is a stripy red/white string tied around the pillars. Two pieces of papers were sticked at the shutter and it says the shop has been closed down for 14 days by MBPJ for not being clean.

It’s totally unexpected. I thought mamak stalls like those by the roadsides are even more dirty. Customers sitting by the drains, sometimes you can see rats crawling about. (Eww, isn’t it?) How come they aren’t being closed down?

We thought the food is clean all this while. No news about food poisoning, no rats or cockroaches crawling everywhere, nothing at all. It was fine as I have been eating since day 1 I came here.

No more nice food for two weeks. Sien.
