Dirty Diners

Sorry for the long absence. I've been bogged down with some journalism application. Anyway, I picked up a free Lite Standard today and there's an article on page 9 titled, "Chinatown Restaurants Dominate Hygiene Hall of Shame".

There are a dozen restaurants mentioned and most of the are located in Chinatown. Here are a few excerpts of inspection reports by City of Westminster food safety officers obtained freedom of information laws:

London Jade Garden: "Mice droppings evident in food" [22.11.05]

Mandarin Kitchen: "Risk of contamination due to cockroaches" [30.11.05]

Golden Dragon: "Cockroach found on meat slicer" [7.11.05]

Mawar Restaurant: "Raw meat stored above ready-to-eat foods" [11.10.05]

At least there wasn't any dirt on TPT (Ngau Lam Tong Mein - Beef Brisket Noodles in Soup).
