I don't know which village these Hokkeins belonged to when they washed up on Penang island but they certainly are a disgrace,when it comes to cooking Bak Kee soup.
Worst Hokkein Bak Kee Th'ng version in the entire Hokkein world.
Holy shit,this is the baddest ass Hokkein soup I have ever tasted in my entire life,yet they have the gall to tell people that everyone should "learn to drink this soup because this is what Hokkein people drink".
Yea ...like you need to screw the many nuts loose in your head man.
Stop the bluffing and buck up on your cooking.Like seriously.And stop screwing around with those in the dark or messing with those in search of their roots by telling them that this is IT.
The real deal.What being Hokkein means/is all about.
Like when?Back in the old days when the Larut Wars were in vogue?Onboard a junk on the way here?
This is Inedibly Undrinkable.
You're crap.A bad cook.You messed up.Big time.This so,so,so wrong.Period.
It's so gross,the pork bits are encased in a tomb of sticky tasteless starch that is left to drench and drizzle in an oily well of basically what I would call hot salty brownish putrid water.Poured on top of raw white rigid shredded cabbages till it pierces the tastebuds with a sharp wasabe like smell that 'shoots up the nose".Picture drinking sulphuric soup with carelessly cut salads,with strips of quiverring pork floating around in a jungle hotspring and you'll get my dirft.
Chewing on the pork,makes the toes and knuckles curl in,cos the layer of flour is so thick,by the time your teeth journey to where the meat begins,you end up losing your appetite.If you believe that this actually works in tenderising the meat,one word to you,ugh! What it does is seal it from being overcooked,thus if the meat is done this badly to begin with,it ends up a failure both in and out.
While their noodle dishes,do certainly please beyond expectations tastewise,and the white rice,is amazingly fragrant,the oysters found within the noodles are too tiny for enjoyment and the prawns the cheapo jellyish translucent type preffered by todays CKT stalls.
The omelette is another disastrous outing in flour wrestling mania ,and becomes extremely jelak after 3 mouthfuls.Again,the oysters found here are too insignificant to taste.Comes with a crusty layer much like how the current oyster omelette stall in Yi Garden likes to do it.
One nice difference is the addition of kuchai.But how to enjoy when so jelak so quick?
Since a one hour wait was customary,we saw it fit to order some soya bean drinks.
Don't ! Even though it sells out fast,it tastes like dried soya skin juice blended together and seived into a bottle.
Ridiculous and horrid!
A word of caution.
The dishes here are extremely high in cholesterol as well as overloaded in zinc and iron from the oysters.
This in turn may cause symptoms like weakness,excessive sweating,giddiness,extreme sleepiness and swellings to occur.
Not recommended that you take a day trip here and drive back,immediately after a meal here.
Some will relate that,you might even get the feeling that your entire body as well as your brains feel a crushing pressure as if you were in an aircraft cabin.That,just from consuming those tiny minuscule sea creatures,can you imagine?
So what it boils down to is....
is the pleasure of a meal here worth the pressure?You be the judge of that.
