The next time you go to an unfamiliar place for a meal, remember these few tips.

Look around at other restaurants in the area. See if there’s any particular shop with more patrons and those with no patron. this is important because there must be something wrong with that restaurant.

a. The place could be a cut-throat place
b. The food could be lousy
c. The service they render could be shitty

I went to a Tee Huat (Klang) Bak Kut Teh Restaurant in Gohtong Jaya yesterday with my Szer. We went to Genting and had our dinner before heading back to KL. It was raining heavily when we reached Gohtong Jaya. So we decided to eat steamboat. As we’re looking for a decent to have our dinner, we saw a bakuteh and why not bakuteh on a cold rainy evening?! Hmm… so we parked right in front of the restaurant.

But then, eh… there’s no patron at all there. We’re the only customers. To think of that at dinner time (8.08pm) and how can other restaurants have half of their premise occupied if not overcrowded and i suspected there must be something amiss. Maybe the bak kut teh here is not nice to eat… but Szer insist that we try it.

Well, the taste of a good thick bakkutteh soup is there and just that they put a lot of pepper. Its like you’re drinking pepper soup. We asked for stomach and intestine and rib meat, vege, and yaucharkuay (deep fried ghost). The waiter said there’s no more stomach. Ok then, just rib meat and intestine. When the dishes served, there’s no intestine. What the fuck. How can a bakuteh shop thsi big have got no intestine and stomach. This is a very common stuff you’d find in any bakkutteh dish.

Asked the waiter, and she said “Oh, no more instestine too. Sorry, we forgot to inform you.”. I was like !@#$%.

After we finished the food, sat there to enjoy some hot chinese tea. It was good. Bla bla bla bla bla… we chatted for almost an hour plus and then the bill came.

RM51.50 !!

• 1 pot of bak kut teh for 2 persons (with only rib meat, golden needle mushroom and dried beancurd-taupok)
• 1 plate of vege (polisang yau choy)
• 1 yauchar kuay (deep fried ghost)
• 1 chinese tea sachet (Kam Kuan Yin/Thit Kuan Yin)

Thats all.

The portion for two is the same as we can get in Kepong. Woooh…..wait… this is fucking  expensive. We’ve been conned. Tiu lor….
