Wan,

It's hard to tell. That's why many kitchens in the restaurants are out of the customers' sight. The CC will intervene only if some customers get food poisoning.

Checks are done from time to time by the City Hall to assure the eateries are well kept. Shouldn't wait for incidents to happen.

Haha, probably it just happens in Malaysia. Wan, you should visit some small restaurants when you come to China. Then you might find some differences. The sterilization machine is equipped. But many restaurants don't put it into use.

Usually I frequented eateries near to my lodging and didn't venture much in searching for fine dining. A bowl of noodles with a plate of vegetable are enough for me for lunch except when having an ice-breaking dinner. Usually we reserve one big room that can accommodate 20 people and sometimes the restaurant doesn't charge any for the room.

Here in Xian, most medium and high-end restaurants have some common rules. If you want to use the private rooms, you must consume more than XXX RMB. Otherwise, they won't let you in. It seems that the same rule is applied in Malaysia too.

Dear Cherry we don't really have rooms in Malaysian restaurants. I was only referring to restaurants in China when I meet people for ice-breaking.

Wan,

All the restaurants in Malaysia have no private rooms? What if you talk something secret? Chinese people prefer to talk business on dinner table. The lobby in the restaurant is noisy. Thus, private rooms are the best choice.

I noticed that dear Cherry. Most restaurants I went to in Malaysia unlike China, do not have private rooms. Even most 5-star hotels do not provide private rooms. So I think you don't really have privacy in Malaysia if you want to talk something highly confidential. You can have privacy if you reserve the whole dining area.

Wan, it doesn't matter to me since I am not a businessman. I don't need to order a table of dishes and persuade my partner to drink liquor. But I am curious how Malaysians do business. Do they just meet at the meeting rooms, discuss the details and then sign the contracts?

I don't really know how they do business and I am not a businessman but an observer. Many of them treat dinner as dinner and not to talk business, just enjoy their meals. If I'm a businessman then I would the same too, if want to talk business then go to the board room.
