Behind the door

THERE is a Chinese restaurant which is selling economic rice at Taman Sri Serdang, Seri Kembangan. The restaurant is located at a place called as ‘old flat’. The restaurant is doing their business from morning until 8pm at night. As I know, the main customers of the restaurant are mostly students from Universiti Putra Malaysia because of the strategic location. The students from UPM just need to walk about 5 minute to reach that place.


The outlook of the Chinese restaurant looks very clean and nice.

From the outlook of the restaurant, it looks very clean and nice. All the tableware is arranged nicely. The tables and chairs prepared for the customers also arrange uniformly. Furthermore, the outlook of the workers is also clean enough. Overall, the level of hygiene of this restaurant is qualified.


After we walk through this door, we will see the truth behind the door.

But, if we walk through the door and reach the kitchen, we will see the truth behind the door. At the kitchen which is the cooking place of the restaurant, we will see there was a drain beside the cooking place. Moreover, the flow of drain is stuck by rubbish. The drain is smelly and stinky. I think that’s no one will like to having their meal which cooks beside the area like this.


There is the real environment of the cooking place of this Chinese restaurant.


There are smelly and stinky drain and dumping garbage beside the cooking place.

In addition, we also can see that the garbage is dumping beside the raw materials of cooking. This is a serious problem that will affect our health. Just now, from the outlook of all the workers seem clean enough, but behind the door, the workers’ hygiene is totally disqualified. They didn’t wear cap and glove while cooking as mentioned by the Ministry of Health.
