There is this stall in a foodcourt which I frequent... They have 2 people there... One of them would be cooking and the other one (cashier) would help to put the ingredients and 'extra' things inside...
So supposingly I always see the cashier put the seaweed from a bowl full of seaweeds into each bowl of soup using a pair of tongs... Because cashier collects $ which can be dirty, so they should not be touching the food directly...
One day I was at the stall again and they ran out of seaweed from the bowl... So the cashier opened up a new pack and started to take the seaweed pieces one by one using her HAND! After she's done with filling the bowl with seaweeds, she happily took up the tongs and use it to take the seaweed from the filled bowl again... -.-"
I really wonder what's the purpose of keep it clean when you're already contaminating the food pieces one by one?
i hate ppl touching my food liddat ![]()
even 10stars Restaurant like tht lor..
Hmmm restaurants are worse because you can't get to see what's happening behind closed doors...
yeah...there is nothing wrong lah...
you got watch fastfood nation or not...if you watch that, you will never eat outside ever again...
you should watch hells kitchen.
aiyar food from outside have always been like tt la. since u so particular den dun eat lor, cook urself lor. u go 10 star or 100 star restaurant, those chefs will also have unhygienic habits la. just because they are hiding in the kitchen and u cannot see them nia
There is a dialect saying, "Lup sup jia, lup sup dua".
sharing the same straw is oso unhygienic. ![]()
I believe the soup is boiling hot so whatever germs or what not on the seaweed probably got killed anyway. So don't worry about!

its the X factor that worries me. Scally the hand had been picking nose ? Had been scratching god knows where ?
The other day i was queuing up to buy food from this new hawker stall...
So there's this window where i could see the food preparation.
the dude before me ordered fish and chips which comes with fries. the fish were ready and on the plate. Then we saw the staff inside grab the fries with bare hands and then drop them muttering hot ... then the staff wiped hands on t shirt and then proceed to grab em up again !!!!
we were both
but i scamper away before they ask me what i wan.

That's grouse! I don't mind people handle dry food with their hands cos' nothing can stick. Also, if it's going to be cooked in boiling water, that's fine with me.
Handling hot chips with hands just not on!!!
I remember watching fastfood nation and they were talking about shit in the patty...lol
so many times I go hawker ctr, the hawker use his bare hand to take the koay teow or mee, and then use the same hand to collect money, wah lau, I see liao can not eat. very dirty. the stall selling vege rice, I see the house fly landing on the food. I quickly walk away from the queue, u no see never mind see already can not eat
got one time the PRC handled the food using bare hand, alamak, the finger got cut, can see the wound, not heal yet, adoi, how to eat
some hawkers use gloves to touch money, telephone, then handle food.
there's no way to stop mis-handling of food la.
the only way is....
ask govt to fine these hawkers!~

if you look at the cooks at takashimaya food court, most of them don't wash hands after going to toilet. I just came out of toilet, saw this cook just walk straight to stall to cook.
some cooks at crystal jade also same same.
