Look, I’m not a food critic but I’m very much a Klangite. Although I wasn’t really born in Klang, but I spent more than a quarter of century here in this little town called KLANG.

Now Klang is famous for BKT, everyone knows about that. What boils me is when people do not know how to appreciate the best of Klang.

I have this sudden crave for pork today. So during lunch time, there’s a new BKT stall just opened nearby my office in Bukit Jalil. Okay, I should know better not to complain about other places for BKT when I know Klang is the best. But then again, how would I know Klang is the best when I haven’t tried others, right?

I’m not a big fan of any other parts of the cute little piggy, so I usually stick to lean meat or ribs. The next thing the towkay asked whether I want additional mushrooms, I said no.

After a good 10 mins, food is served. There’s nothing fancy about BKT, usually is a bowl of pork and a plate of rice. But the taste of the BKT is horrendous. The soup is so freaking diluted it taste like boiled water with soya sauce. Not the mention the PLAIN white rice instead of the fragrant rice they usually served in Klang.

As if that was not bad enough, the meat, oh gosh…the meat.. I can hardly chew it. I hate it when they pre-cook the meat separately from the soup and then heat it up together before serving to customer. KNN, It doesn’t taste good at all, don’t they get it!?

My indian colleague had a sip of the soup and she don’t like it either. She told me that the other stall we had BKT earlier in Old Klang Road was much better. I was like WTF!?!?!?!? That stall is a rip off and it’s not much different from what we’re having now!!! OMG!! I lit up a cigarette and let off the topic.

My crave for pork was not satisfied, so for dinner I had BKT again. Sadly, the sameeeeeeeeee shit happens again. Diluted soup, raw tasteless pork and worst of all, freaking plain white rice?????

Okay guys, enough is enough. As a patron, know that BKT is not just pork in soya-sauce like soup. I’ll spare you the history lesson, go read it on Wikipedia. Let me show you how the original KLANG BKT is served!

THE ORIGINAL WAY. See carefully! Plate of rice with a bowl of BKT only.

Here’s the YES and NO of how we have BKT in Klang:

YES, we have BKT in the morning. Usually a single bowl of pork with a plate of rice. Of course, tea is a must!

NO, BKT is not just meant for lunch, dinner or even supper! Some may try to grab the opportunity to sell BKT for hungry drunkards at night. Fuck, you are drunk and you’re hungry. Anything you eat taste good, damnit!

YES, the original BKT is served in a small bowl with pork and soup ONLY! No other extra ingredients! Extra mushrooms, taupok or even abalone is just to make extra money. Those extra stuffs will totally kill off the herbal taste.

NO, claypot BKT is not as good because of the extra ingredients in it. The bigger it is, the more the charge! Don’t be fooled!

YES, we eat BKT with a plate of rice, folk and spoon.

NO, we don’t eat BKT in a bowl with chopsticks. Screw the tiny bowl! We like to flood our plate with soup.

YES, the original BKT herbal soup is thick and dark. Not too salty and not too sweet with the right among of chinese herbs in it.

NO, BKT soup is not diluted like kopi-o nipis with ice.

YES, the pork is boiled in the soup for hours and the meat must be really tender and juicy.

NO, the pork must not taste like raw steak with a SPEARMINT brand on it. Damn, I hate chewy pork.

So know your BKT. It’s your right!

Being a Klangite, I don’t really fancy dim sum. There was a time we had dim sum for supper almost every night. Which explain the sudden increase of my body mass We usually get our regular dim sum fix over at Jalan Ipoh and it’s usually very early in the morning.

Just two days ago I managed to grab some dim sum for proper time breakfast over at Sri Petaling. Yeah, that place too is famous for dim sum although it’s not the best in town.

Just yesterday, Gerald sent me a YouTube link and it’s a movie clip of a homemade MTV. Coincidently, the title of the song is Dim Sum Girl. Initially I ignored it because the goddamn line was terribly slow. I left it loading and the next thing I know, this catchy tune was ringing my ears.

You just have to check out this clip. It’s hilarious!!!!

As I go on, I discovered a few more related clips which is a spoof of the original clip which was uploaded in January 2006.

There’s a couple of them and I exceptionally love this version. It was created using screen capture still images from the popular MMORPG game MAPLE and the characters from the game are really cute looking.

I’ll never look at dim sum the same way again. LOL!

Every morning I’m rudely awakened by my idiotic neighbour with their house alarm system. Problem with them is their maid keeps forgetting to deactivate the alarm before unlocking the gate to go outside. The neighbourhood usually ignores the whining alarm and get back to bed.

Same thing with car alarms.

Do you remember when was the last time you step out of the house to check on screaming car alarm at 3 o’clock in the afternoon? Or have you ever bother to check the never ending whining of a car alarm in a parking lot? Guess not many of us are bothered as these car alarms are usually triggered by loud vibration from the exhaust pipes of some turbo cars (and sometimes, some cars are just loud).

How effective is a car alarm system nowadays? Will it actually prevent car thieves from breaking into your beloved car? What’s a loud alarm when nobody cares?

My old Proton Porsche Saga is still around and recently it almost got stolen again. It used to have an alarm installed but it’s no longer in working condition. I just recently installed a reasonably good alarm system that cost more than 1K for my V6. It’s fancy and comes with lots of cool function. But question is, will my car be safe even with the new alarm system installed? Technology gets better for car owners but technology is also with the car thieves. We have the tools to protect our cars and at the same time, they have to tools to disable our cars too. I can’t be running to my car whenever my 1K alarm keychain remote starts beeping. Even if I can get to my car, the thief would have gone away with my audio system or perhaps the whole car itself! Immobilizer is great but I’m sure some genius would have come up with an ingenious way to disable that too!

Unless the public plays a role in this crime fighting scene, nothing we own is actually safe.

Sad to say, people can be very selfish. At times, they can be quite a busybody too, checking out things that no longer needs their attention.

How? How do I get the public to play a role to fight car jacking?

Well, I just found the best solution and it involves sex! Goddamnit! LOL

This will definitely get people’s attention….for sure!! Somebody manufacture this freaking cool alarm please!!!!

The Budget 2008 looks surprisingly good but the question is, will it last?

I’m sure you should know by now that there is no increment for sin taxes…hard to believe eh but it is true!

What I’m quite curious now is what’s gonna happen later?

Where’s the tobacco tax increase?

As many rejoice over the goodies dished out in the 2008 Budget yesterday, the six million smokers in the country must also be heaving a huge sigh of relief.

My hunch tells me that there’ll be an increase in cigarette and petrol price AFTER the election. Let’s hope I’m wrong about this but past history tells me that my hunch could very much strike the jackpot

It’s been quite a while since I last watch Smallville and now I’m back on Smallville-a-thon again. I got my copy of Season 6 about a day ago and now I’m down to the last disc, #6.

Lots of thing changed in this season of Smallville and the best part of it would be the introduction of Justice League featuring the Green Arrow, Aquaman, Flash and Cyborg. For those who read DC Comics before will know that there’s more heroes in the Justice League and I really hope that more these heroes will be featured in the upcoming season.

Flash

Cyborg

Green Arrow

Meet the Smallville Justice League.

For those of you who don’t know, meet the DC Comic Justice League.

Superheroes are awesome!

UPDATE: 2 hours later.

FYI, I just finished watching season 6 of Smallville.
