Food Bazaar, Central Mall, Bellandur, ORR, Bangalore
On two occasions that I’ve bought food from the Food counter at Food Bazaar, the food has been stale with a strong stale smell when heated.
At the store the food is kept in containers in the glass showcase of the food counter and looks well maintained. The food bought is packed and sealed in plastic containers. On reaching home and heating the food before serving, a strong stale smell emanated from it. On checking it turned out that the food was spoiled. This has happened on two separate occasions that I bought food from this outlet. The first time with the Fried rice and the second time with the Noodles. I suspect old food is mixed into fresher stock.
When I visited the food counter on the second occasion I reported the problem with the food purchased earlier to the personnel behind the counter. They assured me the food is fine. Hence I bought food again but skipped the Fried rice( which was stale when purchased earlier) and chose the noodles assuming it would be of a fresher stock( which was full in the container at the counter). This as well turned out to be spoiled when I heated it in the microwave and it smelled very bad.
I would warn people buying food from this place. Even if you are given the food to taste, if old food has been mixed with fresh food it will be difficult to detect clearly on tasting a spoonful of it. Once it is heated you’ll get the smell if if is stale.
