Note: Operator claims that pot of soup left on burner after closing at 2am (continuous simmering until closing, when the gas is turned off) stays above 60C until reopening at 9am the next day when they can turn on the gas burners again. Soup measured above 60C at time of inspection (approx 915am). Photo proof provided by operator of soup still above 60C at opening; however, it cannot be determined whether the soup was re-boiled prior to the photo. If it is ever found that the soup has fallen below 60C, all soups will be taken off the menu permanently.

Note: Operator alleges that all butane burners have finally been removed from facility after visit in June when facility was found to use burners after business hours in an attempt to avoid inspectors. Some butane canisters found on-site; operators state this is for a torch in the kitchen and not for boiling soup at customer tables.
