Hi.
I just want to know where and how to contact to have food inspection in a Chinese restaurant. Last weekend, my boyfriend and I went to the Elegantview Chinese Restaurant (southeast corner of McNicoll and Victoria Park) for breakfast dim-sum. We went into the restaurant as we saw many people were eating there. While I was ordering food, my boyfriend poured the tea for me from the pot. I saw a dead roach inside the cup while I was about to drink it. I showed it to the floor manager. She just said sorry and changed the pot and cups. I asked a few things (salt, pepper and hot sauce) from the waitresses and found out that most of them don't understand English and brought back the wrong items. While we were eating we saw another roach in congee soup. I couldn't able to continue and showed it to the same manager. She just said sorry again and took the card that they wrote for order. I didn't want to stay longer that we paid the bill and left. On the way home when I calculated and found out that the bill was overcharged. I think the services charges are added on top of the taxes.
Roaches are scary for me because I saw in the article that "they are unsightly, but mainly because they are known carriers of numerous dangerous, disease causing microorganisms that can be transmitted to your food, the food contact surfaces etc. potentially causing a serious food poisoning. They also contaminate the food with their hair, fecal droppings, urine, saliva, body parts and general filthy."
