Bah Kut Teh bash

It was on Monday afternoon last week. All was peaceful as ever (except the blardy freaking hot weather!) As I got up and did my usual chores, and then.. a phone rang in.

YO! Is your house number 69??
Yeap!
Ok!

Then, I looked out the window.. and saw 2 cars...

They have arrived...
They HAVE ARRIVED...
THEY HAVE ARRIVED ALL THE WAY FROM KL!!!
... to taste Klang's bah kut teh!!

The 4 VIPs(Eyrique, Alwin, Yi Jun and Tai Soon <- Melaka Boy) had planned to come down to Klang in this blistering sunny day to taste the ever famed Klang Bah Kut Teh. So the Klang representitives comprised of Chin Yao, Kok Siang, Beng Siong and I would do the honour of introducing them to the Klang's famed Bah Kut Teh to reward the curious ones.

Trouble is... I don't even know which shop sells the best bah kut teh in Klang!! :(

Indeed, Klang is considered quite a big town in my humble opinion, especially when it comes to bringing them around to a suitable shop that sells good bah kut teh! There are many around in Klang of course. It would be easier if it's in the morning since bah kut teh is eaten in the morning as a norm. But to bring them around for bah kut teh at night...... Well.. you be the judge.

After pondering a few hours on where to eat Klang's bah kut teh, though the time was instead well spent on a nearby cybercafe, and practically got owned by the non-klang players! :( We've decided to bring them to Pandamaran area. Indeed finding bah kut teh stall at night is much tougher, since I don't particularly eat bah kut teh at night, thus have little idea on which stall sells good bah kut teh in the night hours. After much searching, we finally ended up at a bah kut teh stall in front of Pandamaran B school. And yeah... this shop got the nods of approval by all of us, indeed it serves good bah kut teh. Big serving portion and good soup, though the meat is all scrap punya, no proper parts such as chia ba , sueh ki kut, goh hui or kah wan.

Just an additional information for you readers. The main differences between Klang Bah Kut Teh and Outside Klang Bah Kut Teh are... in Klang, one gets a plate of rice and eats with fork and spoon but others such as in KL, you eat with chopstick and served with a bowl of rice. Then, in Klang, you get a claypot with huge chunks of meat which needs to be cut and separated, especially the fat! :p While others, mostly the meat is san zham ba or the 3 layered meat.

The VIPs felt very satisfied with the meal... and at the same time... we celebrated Beng Siong's birthday in that shop itself. The lao ban was kind and generous enough to even give Beng Siong an Angpow. Hrrm.. should be the first time he witnessed an happy event held in his territory kua! :)

A great visit by my Uniten Pals who came all the way from KL! At least I'm well entertained on that day itself! Staying inside the house the whole day is not a good routine!! I should be spending more time going out.. But I need transportation!!

Let's hope I can get a car out of this! *heh*
