Steven is the best host you have, and he's quite hilarious. I also think it's funny that your team gives him the worst assignments - be a Grab driver for a day, climb around in people's dirty spaces to discover dangerous water heaters, try renting a car for a month during the rainy season, "Here Steven. See if this fish is okay to eat." :) Edit: You guys need to pay him more. He's driving the oldest car on the road by far.

Thats why i always eat cooked food, You cant expect every handler/worker at every occasion to be able to detect the bad sashimi that ends up in your plate.

I totally avoided the mentioned sushi takeaway store and its restaurants after I gotten serious food poisoning after consuming their food. It took me weeks to fully recover from diarrhoea.

Now I goes to those reputable sushi outlets for my sushi fix.

Steven, u deserve a bonus for all these hard work. Been enjoying contents u hosted.

How can Singapore claim stringent standards when some vendors don't even deep freeze their sashimi?

[hilaryb]

In Canada, health code requirements are that sashimi is frozen before consumption. Sushi is very popular here, and I’ve never heard of anyone getting parasites from it.

[hahaharithz]

These CNAInsider videos really remind me of the Canadian CBC News Investigative Journalism bits that I love to watch ever so often. So thankful to have highly applicable localised content that is of the same nature here in Singapore. And to have a host like Steven, WOW

Interesting topic. I have read that the Japanese typically did not use local Pacific salmon for sashimi because it is prone to parasites. The Japanese began using Norwegian farm raised salmon because Norway promoted it and farmed raised salmon is parasite free.

Steven always putting himself at risk - will my water heater blow up, will i die from eating raw sashimi haha. Steven the daredevil

Mr Steve Chia, Greetings & we watch this documentary investigation yesterday. Its a good informative documentary. Would like to pose the question of possible benefits (if any) of accompanying meals with moderate consumption of alcoholic beverages - if these may serve as a protection defence. We learnt that in Medieval Europe, wines were often accompanying meals (given that then water purification techniques were not as available & accessible) - leading to impression that wine was a "safe" beverage & "must have" with meals.. In Japanese culture - most Japanese would pair sushi, sashimi with sake (or beer). In Korean cuisines, beer &/or shochu. In mainland China, rice wine (or beer or grape wines too these days) - been an accompaniment with meals. Was wondering if there may be a latter investigation in this area. Of course, consuming alcoholic beverages in moderation are what are recommended & perceived "beneficial".

Fish must be freeze below 31 F for 24 hours before consuming raw .
In the US it’s not a recommendation it’s the law.

anisakis is pretty common for wild fish and mostly harmless but you will get bad stomachache, if you put your fish in the freezer for hours or days the anisakis will die by itself and safely to consume.
