Penangites please take note.
If you find this salt being sold at your local grocers,do yourself a favour and make sure you google the meaning.
I had run out of salt and sent someone out on an errand.She came back with this,assuming that this was the brand name of the salt.I actually looked at the darned name and proceeded to empty its contents into the salt container.Subsequently two tablespoons ended up in the soup pot.It dissolved instantly and was really delicious but later that night the whole family ended up in a sleepy stupor and woke up the next morning with bodily aches.
Only 2 days later did I google it up.Apparently it is an extract of salt or salt flakes meant for the purpose of aromatheraphy or bath salts.
You can guess what I did next.
I threw the entire bottle out.
Since when did the bloody wholesalers decide to sell bathsalts as a substitute for kitchen salt?I really don't know what to say.Suppose they thought nothing of the name,but if they are fully aware of what it is then they are truly unscrupulous.
Considering the slightly cheaper price,plus the fact that it dissolves instantly in cold water, don't you just wonder how widespread the use of this salt is amongst hawkers and such?
