B’KLYN CHEF BURNED THE DINERS: COPS

A hotheaded chef at China City restaurant in Brooklyn has been charged with dousing two women with scalding cooking oil after they complained about bad take-out food.

The melee started when Sylvia Grice, 44, and Dorranne Leggett, 42, stormed into the Myrtle Avenue eatery Thursday night to confront the chef, Luien Jhing, 28.

The disgruntled diners angrily threw their uneaten dinners at Jhing.

Cops said the chef hurled a pot of hot oil, burning Grice’s back and Leggett’s shoulder.

Jhing was charged with assault, menacing, harassment and criminal possession of a weapon – the oil.
