I went over entire routine inspection with the owner. I informed him of all the changes they need to make and recommend somethings they need to implement. I told him they need ice packs to help cool food since they do not have an ice machine. I recommend metal pans and to use smaller portion. I told owner that they muat use their thermometer when cooling and not just feel pan to seeif its cooled enough.

I emailed owner (Mr Wang) the food safety classes for himto come because his employees donot speak English well. This will allow him to educate his employees
