Increase in hawkers using plastic bags/containers to store boiling oil and soup

[sgbuyer]

Recently, I've noticed many hawkers doing this. Many of you may not know what you're eating during lunch or dinner outside.

I've seen many of them use those normal big and red plastic pails to transfer hot boiling soup.

[zzz1]

Best is to use stainless steel tangket ...

Hot and especially deep fried food directly put instantly on steroform will have some chemical reaction...

[Allthepies]

That why home cooked food is priceless.

This is standard practice for hawkers.

But i've seen worst, using pails to store recycled boiling oil, and plastic bags to store boiling curry to be used next day! This was done by an Indian Rest chain - I won't mention name.

No use, before they put the food into your tongkat, they place it in plastic pail for cooling down.

Oh dear,... And if the plastic pail had being used for ages and started to disintegrate ..

There is nothing you can do except bring your own tingkat. You cannot control how they handle the food processing.

I read a Stomp news where someone ate thosai, only to find an opened safety pin in her/his mouth. They informed authorities but the officers replied they investigated the next day, found no pins.

How many of you use the trays? Do you realise these trays are not washed at all? Some stalls auto put the utensils on the tray when you placed order. You should stop using trays.

Not many things are safe nowadays.

I think this may explain all the cancers human beings are getting.

But what can we do ?

Office Boy decide that might as well make use of the limited time left in this world to do whatever we want (legally la!) Instead of worrying over what will happen tomorrow.

This is why I took up the Office Boy job! Got more free time, and more carefree! And still got pay!

Just happen this morning, as usual, buy my newspaper,order kopi o and self collect roti prata...thinking of slowing enjoy and read news paper...

When order 2 koso prata, the hawker use the hand grove to take the prata instead of tong(non issue with that)

But when I give a 2 dollar note, he used the same hand(hand grove on) to take and exchange monies...!!! I scolded home straight...!

Most of the people, when money drop into the toilet , still pick up , that is the most unhygienic and being changed hands every day..

It is still happening in many hawkers and restaurants.

win liao, now i ban wooden chopsticks liao. even chopsticks can cause cancer!

[chiaberry]

I don't take the plastic spoon from hawker when there's hot soup. Nor the wooden chopsticks. That's for take away. I hardly eat in hawker centre (cannot remember the last time). Food is provided at work anway.

not all kinds of plastic degrade at 100degrees. as long as they get those that are certified to withstand the heat, though it means paying a little more

Nowadays plastics imported from China degrade even at room temperature. Anyone notices that some plastic bags used by hawkers smell? Not referring to plastic bags from major shops and chains like NTUC or Giant.

Even some of the cheaper BPA free plastics bottle can degrade. Don't believe, pour tap water into a BPA free plastic bottle, leave it there for 2 weeks and then smell the water after that.

once i was at the restaurant, Paradise something. The waitress was using a plastic tumbler to scoop hot water and transfer to a metal container .

BPA-free bottles just mean they are BPA-free. milk bottles, from most reputable brands, are BPA-free and able to withstand heat.

there are two different attributes. as for the two weeks thing, i believe it is due to microscopic algae and/or bacteria growth, rather than plastic degradation at room temperature.

well, anybody interested in using sterling silverware?
silver apparently kills lots of germs and bacteria.
