Bak Kut Teh @ Petaling Jaya

Kuala Lumpur - Arrived on time and I had already pre-paid my Hotel stay at Boulevard Hotel. A good class 4-star hotel that is new and clean. The rooms are well kept and that's one of the reason I am back again.

Donny arrived with his colleagues (Eunice and Donald) and together with Young Jin we hopped into his car for a sumptuous meal at...

Grandpa Bak Kut Teh restaurant - a very famous Bak Kut Teh restaurant in Petaling Jaya. The Bak Kut Teh has a strong herb aroma - the broth is thick and delicious. The Pork has definitely been cooked for many hours as the meat is tender and juicy.

What is Bak Kut Teh?
This is a Chinese dish and is very popular in Malaysia and Singapore. Literal translation means "Pork Bones Tea". The dish of meaty Pork ribs is served in soup of herbs and spices. The Malaysian Bak Kut Teh consist of more herbs whilst Singapore Bak Kut Teh has more spices especially pepper. The Bak Kut Teh is served with rice and often served with "You Tiao" (fried dough). The correct way is to dipped the "You Tiao" into the Bak Kut Teh and eaten.

It seems to be that many of the best no-frills restaurants are located in Petaling Jaya. Petaling Jaya is about 45 minutes away from KL.

I had 2 rounds of bowling @ Cosmic Bowl at Mid Valley Mall with my business partners. This is the first time I am bowling in this special effects lighting. The glow in the dark pins and bowling ball adds new excitement to the game. Lights go out, the pins light up and the bowling ball glows!
