Only in Kuwait.......

Now I would say that it's a crusty situation!
The Kuwait Times accompanied a team from the Hawally municipality team -- led by Tareq Al-Qattan and some other inspectors -- on an inspection campaign Hawally to monitor various businesses in the area. From there, we moved to restaurants. Team members entered the restaurants from all directions so that no one working illegally in the restaurant could run away. What I saw in those restaurants was so bad that I have stopped eating for two days. Our first visit was to well-known bakery - though I discovered along with the municipality that they leave the dough in the toilet. The baker was surprised to see the municipality. When he was asked about why he stored the dough in such an inappropriate location, he admitted that the humidity helps speed up the process and so he can meet demand. In addition, he kept the dough in the bathtub and used expired butter. The bakery was closed immediately and a KD 1000 fine imposed and charges are to be prepared for working with an expired health license permit.
