one day with pigs & dogs (2)

大肥德买的田鸡最好吃

油浸八丁

泰式非洲鱼

清蒸林哥

酱蒸八丁

全都是鱼塘现定现叫现杀现煮现吃，

没有一样好吃；除了大肥买的田鸡。

连椰花酒都没有酒味，真特别-特别难喝。

不过，那还是我最开心的一天。吃东西，朋友第一，环境第二，食物第三。

one day with pigs & dogs (1)

my holiday began here. one fine day with my pig & dog buddies again.

tua pui worried about the frog supply. so we came here to get some life froggies

air nira (just leant this word) rm 7 per pack. we managed to consume one pack only, quality always matters even for hopeless kaki botol......

see what they missed

and this is what we call thai food. genuinely hot, tasteful with multiple spices, killing you softly with the indo-chinese mood. it was an afternoon after some charity work done, giving us good excuse to indulge. most beautifully, 7 dishes cost us (4 pax including 2 tua-puis) approx 600b, + a bottle of singha..truly like the ambience - setting at a simple river bank (don't expect nice riverview, it's actually a bigger version of longkang!!) . this is the opportunity cost for a round of golf under boiling 40c sun.

not in awful series

the man in the image will be offended if i list this under my awful series : he brought me there. the catfish was crispy- but i'm expecting food, not snack. my pig-dog buddy fatty teik said all the food there was ok, but everthing is just souless : losing the essence & spirit of thai food, and this eatery named themself a thai-influnece malay food. of coures tua pui teik's statement in to insult that guy. i may go back, if happend to pass by again.

viva kaki botol

my first ever long distance race....powered by neoh & vincent....imagine a hopeless kaki botol (they called me 烂饮帮帮主）manage to complete 15km in qualifying time, and this had really inspired lots of kaki botol (like michael of CRC) to "keep walking" along the mabukland. it was a great achievement for me, and my running mate vincent grap 2 botols of beer before returning to home : salute to the genuine kaki botol!

awful series (1)

in this series i'm gonna record those eateries that match the below conditions : famous,crowded,expensive, and most importantly : the food must be lousy. this place i went was in Ampang, and it was really crowded, packed-even it was as early as 6pm. i was attracted by the thai-BBQ style set-up, made me recalled my good memories with my pig-dog buddies in Hadyai not too long ago... and i was told this big-semi open air gigantic bbq seafood outlet is operated by some Thais...shirmp below was taken up from the fried rice, and I was able to swallow only one. won't sacrifice my cholestrol intake for such a tasteless object. not easy to make a seafood tasteless, salute! and the crabs...i made it my PC wall paper due to it's mouth-watering look, and the fact is...another tasteless masterpiece. cannot be worse, especailly over-pamperd by real crabs, small, but really equipped with crab-taste, like the one in tua-pek-kong penang. another signature tasteless stuff is bbq squid (mis-associated by the indon-style cumi cumi bakar in ducking ). afterall these remarks, i'll still go back with my kakis one day: beers were super-chilled, and of course, met the expensive creteria - rm15.50 , considered pricy for such a set-up. (puchong was selling rm9.50, then incresed to rm9.70, and now rm10.20..curse you, taukeh!!)

beerfest asia 2009

total duration about 2hrs 15 min : sampled few beers ranging from doggie style pale ale,inheart wheat hefeweizen,snake dog ipa(us), - tried that for the funny name sake, flat taste and not chilled to perfection, big no no for beer.kronenbourg 1664 (french)- tried this in vietnam before, quite good, no intention to try, but look at the photo, you should know why i was obligated.vb (aus) - my fren just wanna have some nostalgic feel : his main liquid supply during his college life in Aus wor.. erdinger weissbier(german), shouldn't had wasted my tangki for this, you can even get this in some casual beer gardens in bangkok, but is one of my favarote browns anyway ..magners (ireland)- quite like it. taste like strong bow cider but with lighter body, less complexity in palate, making it a refreshing one. sol (mexico) -the booth is next to erdinger; had too much of heavy taste beer and just eager for some light drink to wash it down, another reason is kinddda adventurous swire feel (from Mexico ma...) izze (turkey) - the only reason to try is its country of origin, never had any turkish beer before, and cheap : SGD 3..

It was an anti-climax overall , epspecially with such a grand name. My mission was supposed to complete the crawl from A-Z by countries or brands, but failed. the selection of barnds are limited, and most of the brands i've experienced in my drinking life. even got to re-fill some local tiger beer in pasar malam after that to quench my inner thirst. prior to that already had sapporo for afternoon snack, and some house brewed indian pale ale, lager and a brown beer in pump room microbrewery for warming-up session. with some 333 ( do not underestimate the name, try that and you'll be surprise) that secured from 7-11 after supper, got to call it a night to catch early flight the next day. companion was great as i sald in my face book, still enjoyed it very much. looking forward to the year end beer fest..
