In that way it is hygenic Glatt, but you have to know about how the meats are prepared. How they are cut and cooked.

In the lower level of this commerical plaza is the meat cutters area. You can smell the meats well before you arrive there. There are no freezers or refridgorators there. The flies are waved off with swatters that dont stop moving.

After several long discussions with my wife I've decided to eat some of the same foods that she and family does here.

Some of those meats from that exact shop has ended up on our table.

This is not my preference but given that the better butchers are so far away out in the country areas, I've taken my chances.

Just like sausage and laws, the less you know the better.

As for the food court itself? The sneeze guards are nice and most all foods are covered, but where are the dishes washed and is hot water used?

I didnt see any active sinks.

Wish me luck buddy.
