I think this is how he died

I don't agree with the decisions this man made, but I understand how he felt in his last few hours.

When is this blog usually updated?

This blog is usually updated on Sunday evening EST. If you dread your Monday mornings, be sure to check out this blog and hopefully will give you the runs for your life (Sounds lame, but I tried).

I will have the occasional post during the weekdays.

p.s. This was posted during lunch time. I had a late lunch. I am not a slacker, my productivity is relative to my peers.

Even a toilet gets diarrhea

I wouldn't want to pick up the gun from the toilet.

Destiny Tea and Cafe Lounge - People forget, I don't

Remember this incident back in 2008? Let me remind you again,a group of people went to Destiny to enjoy their bubbletea on a weekend like what most Asians would do. One person ordered a drink and found 2 cockroaches in her drink. She complained to the waitress and was offered 13% off the bill. (Hmm, 13% is an odd number. The tax rate was about 15% at that time, so it's very peculiar. Usually they either give you a 10% discount or you don't pay the tax cause the restaurants don't report the taxes). Eventually, the drink was on the house but not the other food items, that may have come in contact with the cockroach. The cops were involved because the group of friends took videos of the waitress and refused to delete them. As such, the group was held at the restaurant until the po-pos came.

News spread as fast as the population growth rate in China. Soon, the whole Chinese community stopped attending Destiny.

Destiny was a popular hangout place, for people to refuse to frequent that place is a big deal.The corporate company owns other establishments as well (http://www.godestiny.ca/ - pretty crappy site).  The way they dealt with the situation is absolutely substandard. They need to learn from Joey Don Mills (I still refuse to return to that place).

Anyway, the place was closed for renovation and as time passed, people forgot. Now it is packed like a cockroach's nest.

I did my research as usual and here is the latest City of Toronto inspection report:

3 separate incidents within 1 year! 3! That's three, trois! The report only shows up to Jan 2011, so who knows how many conditional passes were issued since it was established.

Let's analyze this. The second conditional pass should have been avoided. They were given 1 week to rectify their problems, but guess what, they still failed. On Feb 15, 2011, they were told to provide washroom supplies. You would think that they would use buy it from No Frills (the supermarket is a 5 mins away).

You would also think they would evaluate their sanitation after the cockroach incident, but let me tell you this. Chinese people are selfish and greedy. Money comes before the well-being of others. To this day, I refused to buy a bubbletea from there. Who cares about sanitation, it is an obstacle to generating undeclared income.

I have to admit, I stepped foot in there twice this year. Once, I was waiting for my friend to order a take-out drink, which he threw out cause it was disgusting. The second time was for a friend's farewell. I just sat there to chat. I inhaled the air inside the restaurant, which probably caused an upset stomach. It also smelled like cockroaches.

Chinese people don't remember, so I hope this post will make you think twice before setting your foot in Destiny again. Their lack of sanitation procedures is simply amazing.

Review of Restaurant:
If you want ramen eat here. If you want real ramen served by Japanese, don't eat here, eat in Vancouver. I will post the ramen place in another post. Yokozuna is served by Chinese people pretending to be Japanese. Price is cheap and didn't get food poison me yet. So far this restaurant is a-okay.

Not sure if City of Toronto made a typo or the restaurant is making the inspection report hard to find. Chinese people are sly.

VERDICT: Safe for now, but not the best place for ramen

Review of Restaurant:
Food was good and cheap. No unusual washroom experiences. Why am I saying unusual if it happens frequently. But you get the idea. The washroom experience was so pleasant that I visited it the following month.

Bonus: Free chicken piece at the bottom of my plate. How did I notice this? Accountants have good analytical skills. Off to a great start!

I see chicken, green peppers, chili peppers and onions. Chinese dishes are named after the ingredients, so I think name of the dish is accurate.

Deep fried tofu

Duck and BBQ pork

Some vegetable soup with carrots, turnip. I think I found Waldo!

King mushroom (or oyster mushroom, mushroom regardless) and baby bok choy

Green beans, mushroom and pork chunks.

Deep fried pork chop. I call this porky pork pork.

Eggplant and pork chunks in a hot pot

Review of Restaurant: Despite the chicken piece stuck on my plate, the restaurant is a safe place to eat. Congee is good for you if you have diarrhea. It is very cleansing. It also replenishes your lost fluids.

They did not wash their hands before commencing work!!! I don't think they will wash their hands if they were not taught to do so in school.

I need to install cameras in the kitchen to ensure the employees are washing their hands. Sometimes, they dip their hands in your food so I need to be careful.

I will give out Purrell containers for FREE (they will not refuse it for sure) and make sure they use it in front of my eyes before they are allowed to serve me. If they refuse, they will feel the wrath of my stomach.

VERDICT: I am speechless after seeing the infractions. As a customer, you are never aware of what happens in the kitchen. I never got food poisoned from this place. Hopefully the employees learn to wash their hands before they commence their shift.

Safe for the time being, although I hate to give them a safe passing.
