And you don't even want to see their kitchens. Here in ****tugal they
"invented" a new police force with the task to improve the restaurant
business, just 2 years ago. Their slogan seems to be: "Customers first".
So
far they closed 3 Chinese restaurants in ****to, 4 in Lisbon and numerous
others in other cities.
One, located in Alentejo, close to the Spanish border, got several
warnings,
then they moved a few miles over the border to Spain. I hope the best for
the Spanish people ;-)
But I've noticed the same problems in Holland and other countries; the
Chinese don't take hygiene very serious...
