It's a very Special fried Fried Rice alright...

[mazingerZ]

This last weekend I ate at a place where most of you have eaten if not, wanted to eat there. Most would say it is one of the best tasting restaurants they have ever been._ No doubt about that. They have amazing food and the flavors as chef Ramsay would say "is bleepin' amazing!" _This restaurant I'm talking about is the Tea-Pot Bistro.
If you like Chinese food, this place for sure will serve up pretty much everything. From dim-sum to yummy greasy ginger beef, band-aid fried rice and there delicious deep fried dough with that amazing sauce. "Bleepin' Amazing.." is what chef Ramsay would say alright. Amazing that they served band-aid fried rice.!! What the Heck!!. I couldn't believe it, I was sooo disgusted.!! I'm traumatized!!_
When I told them about it,_ one of the workers got mad saying it was pork. it was part of the skin and when it's cooked,_ that's the way it is. Pork has strands. So I showed them and opened up these strands. Low and behold, Band-aid house special Fried Rice. So disgusting!!!!!_ For someone like me who loves food, I don't know if i can trust restaurants anymore._ I don't think I can look at restaurant food the same anymore unless it's cooked in front of my face._

So tell your friends... tell your family,.. Tell Everybody..!!!!. Tea-Pot has Amazing flavors alright!! _


Spread the word people. Spread the word..

Are you saying chinese restaurants take short cuts with food prep?


OMG......call the health authority.

[jaylo]

You had it coming eating at a chinese restaurant

[mazingerZ]

I don't think they take short cuts but I guess once they get so big and popular, the care in the food prep doesn't matter. As long as it's hot and out the door they'll service just about anything.

Mike, man, is that you?!

LOL...Har showed me that pic. I posted it in here

Mos def won't be eating there again.

yes it is.. I read the other forum. Yes that place had good food, I also thought at the time it was maybe the best in Calgary. But I also have notice over time that there service is just plain crap. And after that incident.... just totally disgusting.

I have already sent out my concerns to certain people and authorities.

spread the word people!! Spread the word

Chinese restaurants get a bad rep because of how they handle situations like this. In this case, the minimum is to comp the entire table! Pretty sure OP is disgusted enough so he probably wouldn't be interested in any offer for more food.

You know shit happens but band-aid in food is not cool at all.

It's funny 'cause my cousin told me they asked if they wanted to take left overs home. why even ask?!

Go to the Calgary health authority listing for restaurant violations.

i dont see the band-aid.

[Stunt66]

If that is a band aid somebody would have had to cut the ends off because the gauze or whatever it is goes all the way to the end and also the sticky part on the side looks a little small.
Can someone post a pic of a band aid?

[urban.one]

I thought the dirtier the place the better the food tastes.

[mazingerZ]

Well if it was you, you probably would have ate it then. In your mind it would have probably been a bit tough... but delicious in band aid flavor...

But it's a band aid alright! Cause I opened it up. and that's when the worker realized it was no piece of pork. That's for sure. I should have taken another picture of it.

Edit: Looks like the story checks out... I thought it was BS when I first read it (cause who joins Beyond out of nowhere only to post a gripe about a restaurant?).

[mazingerZ]

Exactly!!! and I almost responded to that comment. I just want the people to know and be educated about it and do something. Like i said, They had great tasting food. But after that experience.....I don't think I'll ever go back

My guess is, it slipped off the cook's finger and ended up in the rice still rolled up. Like he said, he opened it.
