I’ve never gotten cold food from a biandang place. Who would pay for that?
I can easily imagine that with a large and deep tray/pan of food (typical at Chinese buffets), although some parts of the food may be hot, other parts, located away from the heat source or in the upper layers of the tray, might cool down to near room temperature.
Was there any specification of how and where the temperature of the food needed to be taken, as in the temperature at all areas within the food tray must be above the danger zone? Also, was there any specification as to whether the food tray was to be covered or uncovered? I can imagine that a covered food tray will better retain and better distribute the heat throughout the tray. At higher-end hotel buffets, the metal serving trays are often covered – and each patron removes the cover, takes out the food, then replaces the cover – but in my experience at typical buffet restaurants, the serving trays are not covered.
And does anyone actually measure the temperature, or do they just crank up the heat based on some gut feeling of “hot enough”?
Yea maybe because you only gotten it from Uber eats so they take extra care of you, but a lot of biandang place has cold food if you show up at the wrong time.
I suspect it’s all gut feeling. Most food service employees don’t care.
Well, if you order everything from Uber Eats with the express delivery option…
As long as we are in the same level of sarcasm, totally agree 
But really. think about why stuff here can sit so long [in this climate*] without spioling. it’s not because of magical thousand year old fermentation teks
