Food poisoning from local Chinese Takeaway :(

17-05-2016 9:35pm#1Some of you may have seen my fiasco on AH: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057596517
Long story short... Went to Chinese Takeaway on Newcastle Rd last week. Gobbled the meal as was starving. Cut into last piece of chicken (only piece I cut into) and discovered this: http://imgur.com/RvCpeim
Went back to takeaway with offending piece of chicken to ask for an explination. I got roared at saying IT COOK OK, IT COOK FINE and was basically fecked out of the place, but not before they tried to explain that the raw centre of the chicken was 'oil' and 'normal' (they also tried to grab the piece of chicken out of my hand, had to almost wrestle it back to keep possession)
Spent the next day not too far from the jacks (won't go into detail).
Day after, decided to report it to the HSE / FSAI, more-so because of their disgusting attitude than anything else. Was promised the place would be inspected.
This morning, a notice 'Closed for maintenance' on the window: http://imgur.com/EiMejRK
Confirmed closure order by HSE: https://www.fsai.ie/uploadedFiles/Monitoring_and_Enforcement/Enforcement/Enforcement-Orders-Closure.pdf
Watch out if ordering takeaway, folks. I don't believe there's any issue with naming the place I got food poisoning from as it's on the FSAI website with a closure order. The takeaway in question: New Curry House, 62 Newcastle Road, Galway.
To think, they could have avoided this by just apologising. I didn't even ask for a refund, just an explination as to what the heck was going on. They brought this on themselves, I normally don't kick up a fuss. Probably for the best, I took one for the team

thankfully never ordered from there.
but good to know if desperate - avoid. that would put me off take aways for a very long time which would be good for my diet. So when are they open again?
New Curry House 2 due to open up any day now :pac:
(New Curry House used to be called Curry house)0 -

Would that not be a good way to find out which to eat from? If a place has been closed and then reopens a week or two later then it's got everything up to scratch. As far as I know the FSAI have to re-visit before places are allowed to reopen.
That's a very valid point for sure. For me though it's a case of 'once bitten, twice shy'. As in, if a place has been served a closure order, then I probably won't be eating there in the future, even if they have everything up to scratch
Actually, it'd be interesting if the FSAI released info each month on food premises that had passed inspections.0 -

If a place is being run by people who are dumb enough to have let things get so bad that FSAI closed it, then I don't think I want to eat there.
The physical premises may have been brought up to scratch, but unless the got some new brains for the staff, nothing will really have changed.0 -

The incubation period for something food poisoning related would be 24-72 hours to get the effects you did. What was the time-frame for you? You said the next day you had the skitters etc.0 -

If you read John's AH thread, you'll get some of those details 0 -
