Food prepared on car bonnet gets condemned for hygiene, safety hazard

 

FOODIES can attest that there is this strange appeal of dining on street food instead of a meal prepared in a five star hotel.

The sight and sound of the people passing by. The meal being prepared right in front of you, piping hot and ready to consume. All these add up to create the holistic gastronomic experience that a hotel or a fine dining restaurant simply cannot reproduce.

But will food prepared from the back of an affordable category car qualify as street food? Or more importantly, will it qualify for a safety or hygiene test? 

Check out this recent video by netizen @bckupacc99 where a man could be seen cooking Samyang Omelette from a makeshift kitchen which was nothing more than an opened car bonnet.

At RM15 per omelette, he was making a killing too, since the ingredients used in the video doesn’t seem to account for much. But that wasn’t the biggest issue.

Netizen @Boboboyan20 who saw the video quickly pointed out the hygiene factor, stating that the man was holding everything with his gloved hand.

“He just don’t want to let his hands get dirty only,” said @HafizLotfi. Another netizen said this was why a course on food handling is vital. He added that the person preparing the meal should not be wearing any accessories, including bangles.

Also, @capriogonzales conjectured that the man might not have gotten his injection. “Where is this? A businessman with a license wants to make a report,” said @ikhmlzz.

On another note, people should be aware that it is illegal to turn one’s car into a stall. You don’t need a person with a high IQ to point out that every car comes with a fuel tank which can get dangerous when exposed to a heat source.

In other words, customers who frequent this car-stall for Samyang Omelette should also be mindful or they themselves could become part of the ingredients of a very charred Samyang Omelette. —  Focus Malaysia
