Chilakak

We had the opportunity to dine at a gem of a restaurant at Balakong the other day. The place is pretty hard to find unless you know your way around the town. Don’t worry, we have the coordinates for you at the end of this post. You can thank us by spending us dinner there. We will not give you a rain check.

Our dinner started with Hong Siu Guat Pai. Basically, this is pork ribs braised to the point of perfect tenderness placed on a plate of sweet gravy. The smell of this first dish instantly made my stomach growl in anticipation. Alas.. it was not to be. Cameras started snipping and snapping. Light flashes pushed away the hunger pang as cameramen started to rearrange the dish to make it look as appetising as possible. By the time everyone is done taking pictures, the smell has gone and so is the temparature.

I couldn’t wait though. As soon as the last flash was fired, my fork was already digging in. Each bite was heavenly. A top layer of fat followed by the most tender lean meat, each bite was like I’ve died and gone to pork heaven. Its too bad the portion was just enough for 4 persons. This my friends, is a must have if you dine here.

The next few dishes was superb as well. Gu Fart Song Yu Tao & Shang Bou Kam Fong. Both are fish dishes. I can’t even describe the taste here. It is so good, I can’t help but finish my rice just plain with the fish gravy. The aquarium sitting at the entrance of the kitchen clued us in that the fish is alive and well. Unlike other restaurants who overfill an aquarium, this once has ample space for the fishes to swim around ensuring its freshness and tenderness.

Next comes Guo Zai Hoi Xin Dao Hu.

Guo Zai Hoi Xin Dao Fu

This dish is pretty normal. Besides the crunchy fresh vege, the taufu was fried just to the perfect texture. The key point here is FRESH! So fresh if feels as if the vegetables was just plucked from a garden behind the shop and the seafood straight from the sea.

Guo Zai Hui Woh Yok came next. Pork! Yay! Tender slices of pork cooked in some special sauce. Its sauce is exciting, arousing the palate with such powerful stimulants that even though I was already burping, I just had to have a few more bites.

I thought we have reached the end of the makan session so I went for a little dessert. A puff of Dunhill Red to end a night of blissful makan session. Boy was I wrong. When I rejoined the group, the next few dishes was on the table getting their share of attention from the cameramen.

Xi Yao Gok Har

This prawn dish reminded me of the assam prawn dish that my mom used to cook back when I was staying with her. I wish they made the gravy a little bit more as I simply love sucking its gravy off the prawn shell. I can’t find the prawn aquarium, but I swear they prawns was cooked alive. The flesh was a delight with every bite. The only other time I had such succulent prawn was at the teppanyaki bar at Le Meridien’s Latest Recipe buffet.

Next in line for our taste bud was Sei Bou Dao Fu. From the outside, its just like a normal tau fu cut in the middle to make way for the mince meat. Like they say, “don’t judge a book by its cover”. It may look simple. It may sound simple, but its so superb, I wouldn’t attempt this in my own kitchen. The balance of texture and taste here is like the famous political icon. As balance as a trapeze. Only when you taste it you will know what I mean.

Interlude…

Famous oh, don’t play play…

Liang Lui

Leng lui also come here to “nibble” on the food.

Back to business.

No need to describe the next dish.. 1 word. Legendaryyyyyyyyyy….

Wong She Gap

Ever tried deep fried kailan? Tastes exactly the same as seaweed. So from now onwards, you know where you can get cheaper seaweed. Sweet and crunchy I assumed that this dish is a dessert. Its not. For dessert, we got fresh fruits and some puddings. Yummy!

What would you do if you realize your partner is rejecting your sperms? How to conceive if that’s the case? Will the marriage last?

JULIE Boyde’s wedding night was ruined when she discovered she was allergic to her husband Mike’s sperm.

The couple had been lovers for two years before they got married and decided to have unprotected sex for the first time on their wedding night.

Almost immediately the bride was in unbearable pain. She found out it was because of Mike’s sperm.

Plans of conceiving a baby have had to be abandoned reluctantly as it seems Julie’s own body destroys the sperm.

Mike, 27, and Julie, 26, from Ambridge, Pennsylvania, started going out while at university and became engaged two years later, finally having a dream wedding in 2005. They wanted to consummate their union on their wedding night.

“Before we were always very careful and used protection – this time we didn’t,’ said Julie, 26.

“We figured, “we’re married, if we get pregnant, we get pregnant”.

“Pretty much right after I knew something was not right because I was in a lot of pain.

“The pain that I was feeling was inside, like somebody sticking needles up inside of me like a real painful burning.

“It was really scary.”

The pain, and at times blisters, would go on for weeks, she said.

“On a scale of one to ten, it’s pretty much ten,” she said, describing the pain.

After numerous medical tests, the couple were eventually told that Julie suffers from seminal plasma hypersensitivity, which affects thousands of women in Australia.

NINE SCARY WORDS WOMEN USE

(1) Fine : This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes : If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing : This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

(4) Go Ahead : This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do It!
