How sure are you, that the foods in restaurants are clean?

I worked in one of the prestigious restaurant here in our city. I am incharge in the commisary if its dayshift, if its night shift I am in charge in the kitchen, we are the one preparing foods. From the market all the meat will be put on the floor and in our commisary area and we are walking on that floor with our shoes. That's just the dirtiest thing i've seen in that restaurant. We still never experienced serving foreign insects in our meal. Even if I know thats dirty, I still go there and eat sometime.

I don't believe that these restaurants that i usually go serve a totally clean food. Maybe 80-90% clean. I have a friend before working in a well known snack cafe and their process of preparing foods are really messy. They are not even wearing gloves when they mix these ingredients and they're just placing it in a table without cover. I myself noticed a hair on these snack set when i bite it. '+'

That is right out nasty...I would hope that any restaurant that I go to is much cleaner than that. Here in the US restaurants are checked up on and graded by the health departments. They surprise them with inspections and they never know when they are coming to see them. They get graded just like being in school A score closest to 100 is best. If they score low they must fix the problem and can and will be shut down if they are too dirty or things are not the way they should be.

one of my experience is that one day i eat in a restaurant,I odered a noodle,when the waiter put it on my table ,i found a hair twist with noodle ,it made me feel bad ,so I left the didn;t eat anything..but I still most of the restaurant are clean Have a nice day..

Hi, i have the same experiences that your customer has. There was mosquito on my potato soup. Once i discovered fly in my tea cup. Many times i have found piece of hair in my rice plate. Sometimes sands on the outside of tea cup. Too many. Here maximum restaurants r too dirty. If u go to the backside of it then u must suffer a morbid suffocation. Lol.

Hi Tigerlily, actually I don't eat in a restaurant because I am really particular how they prepare the food. About the rumors (the cook spitting saliva on the food) yes I believe them that's why I don't have a penchant to eat in restaurants. But I eat in fastfoods because I really see how they handle or prepare the orders. I usually keep the receipt so I can sue them if ever my tummy's not feeling well.

Be honest I haven't really experience it, but just watching that show "kitchen Nightmares" with chef ramsay really turn my will to go to a restaurant. I still believe home cooking at our own kitchen is the cleanest!

hello tigerlily, i don't have any experience in working in restaurants or food related works but i have some friends who works in there, that's why i am aware that there are these kind of yucky things happening around...huh! although there are some standards that resto follows when it comes to cleanliness, still we can't really be so sure that the foods they are serving is that clean & that safe since food handling is really sensitive and sometimes people handling them are the problem...some are just careless and don't care about the other people... anyway, i still believe that there are still some resto that serves clean foods... anyway i don't have much problem about it since i am not really a restaurant eater & when we are eating out, we usually choose a place to eat. as much as possible we want the restaurant that just cook foods upon ordering and kitchen is visible... one experience that i have and it happens just a month or two ago, its in a fast food chain and the chicken that they served us already have a bad smell...i guess the chicken is already spoiled...and so what we do is to complain about it and good that they change it...and they apology, i think they should have to coz that fast food chain is the most popular here in my place...

I am never sure of anything especially that. I don't always know what's going on, nor can I say what is, and what isn't clean. Most places need to yeld to a high standard, but its always possible that no one actually listens. I don't go out to eat much because of money, but yeah I don't garentee anything.

I think one of my experience is when my father eat on the restaurant & he forgot to wash his hand because he use his dirty hand on his nose waste. He ate food without washing his hands.Yaks!It's dirty.
