Cannot Make It

It's official.

The Owner has the most
terrible-est-test taste in food.


Last Sunday, he introduced the worse bak kut teh on the planet to me and called it the best. *gag* Seriously lah. The best? Backside! The place cannot make it until super fail dot com and he summore dare tell me that it's the best. Kononnya authentic BKT. Pfft! So fail.


Come, I tell you why fail.

(Actually, you wanna hear,
dun wanna hear also have to listen cos
I'm gonna get it off my chest. Haha!)


Firstly, they didn't offer us a selection of Chinese teas. The dude just took our order to 'chung cha' and then walked away. Wth. I had to call him back to ask what types of tea they had. Then, when they brought us the tea, they didn't bring the usual +1 teacup. Double wth. Eh hello, this is Chinese tea lah. What kind of Chinese kopitiam that serves bak kut teh dunno how to serve Chinese tea with +1 teacup wan?!


Secondly, the place is DAMN UNHYGIENIC. You see, I was seated next to a window and what I didn't know was that beyond that window, was an old man. Suddenly, he began coughing and coughing and coughing like nobody's business. I mean, ok lah. Uncle, I know you're old and I'm sorry time went by and did that to you. But still... when coughing time close mouth can?? Aiyerrr. Beh tahan. Summore when he cough hor, it's the kind of cough where you can hear his phlegm flapping back and forth in his throat. AIYEERRR! Geli me until heart attack die lah, I tell you.


Then horrr... (Yeah, you got that right. I'M! NOT! DONE!) Then... when the bak kut teh arrived, I knew that I'd never... EVER... go back there ever Ever EVER again. I mean, I'm from Penang lah. Drinks bad, I can take. Dirty, I can close one eye. But bad food??? NO WAY, MAN! Contaminate my delicate, atas taste buds from the supreme Island of Penang? NEVARRRR!!!


So why was this particular bak kut teh so bad? Well, for starters, they use KAILAN for vege in the soup. Like, wth?? Where got people use kailan wan?! And the mushroom and tau pok are still hard like rock. The pork still smelled porky. And while the soup smelled relatively ok, it still ended up being a total letdown cos it was not at all tasty.


Summore hor, in an effort to 'save' my meal and rescue my poor self from death by hunger pangs, I wanted to order ewe char koay. But guess what?? They don't have! Wah, last straw lah liddat. Drink cannot make it, hygiene cannot make it, soup cannot make it, vege cannot make it, tau pok cannot make it, mushroom cannot make it, pork cannot make it, ewe char koay cannot make it... Forget it lah.


The Owner, you mark my words. That will be the first and LAST time I'll ever go there for BKT. It's Klang (or PJ Old Town)... or nothing! RAWR!




Haih. I tell you, these Ipoh people ah...
Taste buds really cannot make it. =p

ms.tarpau said...

OMG. a lot of ppl love this place. you are the first that hates it. hahaha

Pam Song said...

ATTN: hennwei
– That wan okok. Better than this one. I ate before also. Haha.


ATTN: Simon
– Taipan got one. That wan is also not bad. I prefer it to the SS14 wan. And the girl actually speaks Klang Hokkien so it seems hopeful.

The KL wan is the one on the road before the Zouk turn-off right? Two shops side by side wan. The one further down the one way street is better. I dun really like the first stall. =)


ATTN: infinitium
– Haha. Urm... Penang bak kut teh not very nice leh. KLANG IS THE WAY TO GO! =)


ATTN: ms.tarpau
– Haha. Honest opinion. No bias at all since I really hadn't heard of the place before. It was based on what I saw, smelled and tasted. =p

Lissa said...

I always eat at SS14. Haha...

Melsong said...

Thank God you survived the ordeal!

Don't forget...yummy delicious bestest-of-the-best Penang food is just a few hours away.

Hmmm, how about Hot Tin Roof for lunch followed by CRC for dinner and a choice of either Anson Road char koay teow or Jalan Pasar Mee Goreng for supper?

Unknown said...

jalan ipoh next to dynasty.

zecount said...

wah ... nobody dare bring you anywhere to eat anymore la .... nanti kena bomb in your blog onli

Unknown said...

PJ OLD TOWN BKT ! Woots!

Pam Song said...

ATTN: Lissa
– Haha. Cos so near your house ma. The one at Taipan not bad. You should try also.


ATTN: Melsong
– Anson Road CKT no more leh.


ATTN: Simon
– Oh! I tried that once before also. Many years ago. Haha. Don't remember how it tasted though. But since I never went back, I'm assuming I preferred the PJ Old Town / Klang ones more.


ATTN: zecount
– HAHA. I would have been ok with it if he never over-promote until so great. But in my defense, he said it was bad, too. HAHA.


ATTN: Justin Murugaya
– AWESSUM STUFF!

test said...

Aiyah , why so picky . Just eat it XD

Melsong said...

Still there on some nights. You'll catch him if you're lucky enough or you hang around long enough to check every night.

Pam Song said...

ATTN: Spectre
– Eh, I got Penang tastebuds okayyyy. Dun simply eat wan. Must standard a bit! =p


ATTN: Melsong
– No lah, I was told his wife died so he stopped frying.
