The Baklava Palace in Deltons no doubt has a variety of Baklavas and mithai, however just a week back I bought the smallest packet of Milk Mithai that they offer. Just when I ate the third piece - THERE WAS A SHORT BLACK HAIR - that came in my mouth! It was horrible and I left the mithai instantly. I still have the remaining mithai in my fridge and as I will get time, I will go and insult them because they pose, wearing those plastic gloves, that everything is clean but actually this is what they hold inside. I don't know who's disgusting hair that was! What a Loser Place.
Food is what we live on and if somebody does not take care of our needs in the best way then at least I don't want to eat from this place ever again. In Pakistan, although Muslims are living but there is no sense at all of cleanliness! Others can enjoy a sweet with a hair in it, but sorry I can't because not only should we respect food, we should also keep it clean from disgusting matter. I bet big names like Gordon Ramsay would agree with me!
