BeAuTy ON FiRe

wow.."Kuching Food.." received good response from my frens. You’ll never know that you’re not alone in this issue till you speak up. I have lost count on how many horrific encounters i have experienced with food. It could get so bad that we are eating as though we are doing it for Fear Factor. Lillian, your comment is an honest one..hehe..Lillian,cat,elaine and I have eaten at this place (named after its founder, a celebrity..u guess,dah closed down kat Kch, sik laku bah)..i remember we ordered macarony and cheese. I have always been a fan of cheese..but uh-uh..not that time. We savoured our macarony expecting it to taste as delicious as it looked. Ok, to our shock, it smelled like "bau bangkai"(quoted from Lillian)..we almost spit it all out. As usual we burst out laughing! How on earth could it taste dat bad? Well. as a microbiologist, I assume that the cheese had been invaded by a mutated fungi which failed to metabolise the cheese into its normal structure and smell..(which landed into our mouths, eeww).
Once, i ordered Bak Kut Teh. It was quite expensive- RM5. So, i thought for that kind of price, it must be a good meal. Here it came..sent by the tauke, and placed on my table. My eyes popped out and i was confused. The RM5 Bak Kut Teh was almost 90% soup, with a few ‘dead’ leaves floating on it and to see wat was inside, i had to dig in the soupy pot with my spoon and found abt 2 small pieces of hardened meat sunk deep inside the claypot…I said to my mum, "that’s it?" And my mum was so disappointed that she called the tauke and returned the Bak Kut Teh (got our money back).
Sometimes, looks  can be deceiving. You enter into this fancy restaurant, serenaded by classical Italian music and welcomed by uniformed waitresses. Wow, this looks impressive. We had a seat. My fren ordered durian cheese cake (i have no idea y)heheh..and my other adventurous fren oredered Green tea cheesecake. As for me..there’s nothing i would love more than a chocolate cake. We tasted each other’s cakes. The weirdest one was the durian cheesecake which tasted like durian itself..durian shaped into a triangular cake.In that case better eat the original durian at my house..haha. My chocolate cake was a bit dry and did not really smell like coco but more like Milo. Hhuhuhuhu…The greentea cake was strangely sweet with no distinct aroma..just so green-looking (i don’t like the color green ).Oh ya..the mozarella cheesesticks..it was ok la..similar to Penang Lok lok...hahaha…better eat lok lok!!!
pheww…so many stories.. I duno why it happens so frequently..I can make nice and decent cheesecakes myself (honestly…seriously). Just dat i malas buat la..now i think it’s better to do it yourself.hmm….seems like i’m slowly becoming a food critic…
