Question

Are there people who check chinese restaurants to make sure everything is above board?How can duck be £3.50?

Answer 1

While you are checking on the duck, you should also check if they are paying their taxes and their hiring practices.

Answer 2

Yes I´ve always wondered that.

And what about all those Indian restaurants that are always empty?

I´ve always suspected someting nefarious, money laundering, perhaps.

Answer 3

Do you mean thats expensive to you, or cheap. I think it all tastes the same anyway. And salty.

Answer 4

Health inspectors inspect all restaurants. I have heard of fewer problems with Chinese restaurants than other types.

I only wish duck was that cheap here!

Answer 5

The Environmental Health Officers (EHO's) are employed by each council and shoud, check every work premises once a year. China town in London falls under Westminster which is pretty hot on these things but Charlotte St a five minute walk away is Camden who is less rigid with there visits.

I would imigine that place in question uses illegal labour, pays less than the minimum wage and spends no money of Health and Saftey as the cost price for the duck alone in the UK would be about £1.30 a portion, thats without the trimmings etc

Answer 6

thats cheapest ive ever known duck to be and londons more exspensive than where i live

Answer 7

big duck?

Answer 8

Because they got them from the local pond or lake!

Answer 9

Yes there are people employed by local government  who check all food establishments.

I imagine duck can be sold for that price due to simple economics and possibly the amount they serve in each portion.

If the owner, who quite possibly has a number of restaurants, buys in bulk, he will obviously get it at a reduced rate. Which means he can sell it for a reduced price in a competitive market.

And to one of your respondents...it is not only the chinese etc who abuse taxes and employment criteria.......If you drink down your local pub owned by whites, more often than not you will be funding these illegal practices.

Answer 10

Check out the dish doggy fung mo.

Also pay by cheque at the Wong Ki in London Chinatown

Answer 11
