Yao Jai Chen, 50, a Chinese takeaway owner who served up a steamed dim sim crawling with cockroaches has, according to this story, been slugged $9000 after he admitted delivering the appetiser teeming with live cockroaches and littered with the insects' faeces.
The Sunshine Magistrates' Court yesterday heard the offending parcel was delivered free with a $20 order of fried rice and beef skewers.
Mr Chen, who runs Chum Bo Chinese Takeaway in West Footscray, was fined $5000 and made to pay $4000 in costs for four breaches of the Food Safety Code.
Each breach carries a maximum fine of $40,000.
