Clean up your act, Uncle.......

I used to love hanging out at this particular Malay stall selling all sorts of local fare. The owners are good cooks and normally do catering for big shots such as the "menteri-menteri" during the Majlis berbuka puasa, Hari Raya Haji and other Muslim celebrations linked to the Government.

They started a humble stall selling Nasi lemak and 'kueh-mueh' by the roadside till opening their own restaurants (1 in Bandar Menjalara and I think another branch at Sri Hartamas). I've also been to their functions for a wedding ceremony where my husband likes to saviour their Ayam masak merak and Sayur londeh...

Hey, I have nothing against them but i think at the rate they are going now, they may need to close shop very soon. The recent visit to their joint in Menjalara was disastrous. The whole place was teeming with not customers, but cockroaches! I was disgusted to see baby roaches running hilter-skilter across a dish of fried eggs (pity those who are eating that later). Yuck!

Not only that, they also have the flying variety (those which tend to fly clumsily and always seem to be aiming for you!) all around the restaurant. The lady boss did not even show any sign of concern and blatantly placed an insect aerosol on top of the cash register! Wa lau.........

I lost my appetite there and then and vouch not to go back ever again or at least till they tidy up the place! The owner even came to us and told us his staff are busy preparing for a function at a local TV station for the upcoming event where some menteris will be coming to officiate the whole thingy.......good luck to those attending the event. As for me, i am heading straight home to 'fortify' my gut with some friendly bacteria. Boy, I am going to need a billion dose and hopefully i am spared from the runs.............

Food poisoning is on the rise and though many people treated it lightly, it can be detrimental to children, the elderly and the pregnant ladies. Visits to the doctors for food poisoning is on the rise and unless we boycott or take actions against these dirty eateries by highlighting to higher authority, i am afraid, we would just have to embrace this irresponsible act as part and parcel of life.........'sigh'
