The web result lay-out is similar to that of Google – with slight improvement such as further site information highlights on “mouse-over” through the resulting sites. Sponsored links on top and right navigation is similar to that of Google.

Eating Out – How about an added spit to your food?

Posted by: giftsdubai on: May 24, 2009

Recently, a Ras Al Khaimah-based baker was found to have been spitting on loaves of bread before baking them that led to an arrest and closed down of the bakery.

In an internal source, one issue also came up to us with regards to a well-known seafood restaurant in a high end mall in Dubai – having an almost 1 inch thick dirt mixed with oil and other substances in the kitchen floor with cockroaches running around the place, fishes lying down (probably for tomorrow’s dishes).

Disgusting, you might say – and it is indeed.

More often than not, as most people in the city are busy in their everyday life that eating out and ordering food becomes the norm. You will find almost all range to suit your budget from fast food restaurants to Michelin star restaurant.

It’s fine, for as long as you are 100% sure that your food is done properly, but what about a spit you don’t know or a cockroach that had a taste share of your food?

Disgusting.
