the stuffs that we might be eating...

The other day when I was at City Hall MarketPlace, happened to walk past a someone who was promoting something (kinda forgot what it was... probably some snacks). So as usual, I'd stop and take a look. The packaging was alright, with some Korean words printed. So I casually asked if its from Korea. The girl said no.. it was from China and asked if I'd like to sample the product. I smiled and declined. Then she asked, "Why? Scared ah?" I answered, "Ya.." Haha, but really... food produced from China, gotta think twice for now. Although of course the government would have done all the checks to ensure that most of the stuffs on our shelves are legitimate and safe to be consumed.

So the latest scandal being the 'bao zi' being sold in their own homeland. The bun makers decided to substitute some of the fillings with.. cardboard! Wow... stuffing it with cardboard is already dodgy.. but to use cardboards that have been treated with some industrial strength chemical to soften it... tsk tsk.. things that people do to cheat your money (cheat money is one thing... but to play with people's live is another! ) Read about it here.
