Why Chain restaurants shouldn't hire foreigners



Have you ever wondered what foreign workers cook for themselves to eat when they are alone and homesick in the back of the kitchen ?

Most of them are severely underpaid. Most get paid $300 for being full time staff. BIG CORPORATIONS that actively donate very publicly to charities are some of the biggest culprits in this matter.

When our locals try to apply for jobs, they tell them there is no vacancy but in the next breath, tell the government that Malaysian youths are all lazy. Liars .

I can name you some places but the best way for you to flush them out is to try to talk to these workers . You can find them in chain outlets selling Malaysian kopitiam food,burgers, donuts and snacks like pretzels, bakeries even . 

If they are Indons, they DARE NOT TALK with you as we can tell from their slang. In some cases, they might even act dumb. So if you are speaking in Malay to them and they are acting stupid, chances are they are lowly paid Indons who are tied on contract work here. Really stupid because it seems a lot of these Indons who come here may look like Malays but are actually non Muslims yet they have no qualms donning the tudung to pretend and look the part.

While banglas,nepalese,cambodians and myanmarese will readily warm up and chat with you, how much do we really know about their favourite foods.

The Vietnamese as we know, drool at the sight of dogs and cats. Whole neighbourhoods have been purged of furry creatures whenever there are new arrivals. Luckily, they like to work in factories.
But some apparently like frogs. I do not know which country these originate from. They must have some Chinese ancestry.They could be cooking toad for all we know.Which is perfectly fine except that the unproven crime was committed in a restaurant that can be frequented by Muslims.

Really serves the corporate bigwigs right when something like this happens and their intended customer base start dwindling down to zero.

There is a picture in this article below. Correct me if I am wrong but from the looks of the apron , Papparich is involved in this fiasco.

No wonder the last steamed chicken I had there looked so,so weird. They are better at frog meat. No wonder the stall with Cambodian workers selling economy rice,now tastes like shit.

Would I mind if my chicken was boiled in the same pot as the frog/iguana/civet/turtle/snake/monkey was ?

I sure as hell do !

This blogger has provided details of the particular local workers who discovered the deed . Apparently it isn't the first time the culprit chef has cooked frog in the kitchen
