Last weekend, my friends and I had the opportunity to savor some Vietnamese-fusion food at Hot Mama Restaurant. Located on the 4th floor of Sungei Wang Plaza, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Hot Mama has been receiving quite some rave reviews from the local food bloggers, so I have decided to try it out.

Asides the poor services, the food tastes quite alright while the ambiance is awesome amidst the noisy afternoon. The price is quite reasonable too. Overall, the place is worth visiting despite the bad service and poor understanding of English the waiting staff have.

Can you get tapeworms from eating sushi?

The answer is yes. Think twice before eating an undercooked fish because it is the best way to get the longest tapeworm in your stomach. The tapeworm, diphyllobothrium latum can grow up to 32 feet, the largest human-hosted parasite. Symptoms are sometimes referred to as “Jewish housewives’ disease because women would often taste the raw fish while preparing gefilte fish. (Source)

Would you stop eating sushi after reading this article? Actually, sushi bars are pretty safe, but preparing raw fish at home is another matter. Sushi chefs are specialists. Most of the time, the sushi served at the average restaurant has been frozen and freezing kills parasites. Even if freezing didn’t do such a good job of deep-sixing parasites, only a few fish would present any real problems. Tuna, for instance, live too far from land to mingle with seals and pick up many worms. Salmon and rockfish are another story. That’s why Japanese never serves salmon raw.
