Friday the 13th

Just realised today is Friday the 13th. Anyway, who cares?? I don't believe in all these stuffs :) It is just another day to me.. So fast time flies. Chinese New Year is just around the corner, in 2 weeks time.

Time to go and top up some food stuffs, including Bak Gua... Since our Sir fH2O (or should I call him Sir Fair (H2O is water; water = air in Malay Language) ?? Cannot lah, sounds like the Fair Lady pulak ) always talk about the delicious and mouth watering Singapore Bak Gua specially brought to him by his beloved good old friend Robin.. Tomorrow noon, I will go to Gurney Plaza to meet up with one of my colleagues. Will shoot some photos as well since I heard they have nice CNY decorations in Gurney Plaza.

oh Bak Gua(h)... i used to like the "Long Kei" brand one, but after eating soooo much, i kinda lost track which is which.. gosh! I gotta hunt some here.. stock something up for myself too!=)

KittyCat said...

Bee Cheng Hiang's Bak Gua is not too bad either actually.

And yeah, Gurney Plaza has done a nice job - very "Spring Festival" like atmosphere. Enjoy!

Robin CHAN said...

Ai Si ah,

How come no pics for this post one.. thought all your post will have your signature pics?

Bak Kua>>>>>>>>> hmmmmmmm... wait till u taste the Coffee BK, you will never touch Gurney Plaza again.

Be careful on what u get there... esp those with weak teeth should be extra careful.. and those with denture should avoid it.. 100%

Robin CHAN said...

Gurney Plaza is not a Bak Gua place lah :P
Don't understand your statements on the last line.. too hard ah??
mind to elaborate?

I know which shop u r talking about, the "Wo Lai Yeh" bak kua place in Petaling Street..
I bought from that place before when I studied in KL previously.
That shop is damn packed with people during CNY time..
Long queue leh, no joke... :D

Chen said...

jellyfish,
aiks... Should be Bak Kua.. (I type wrongly liao...)
Anyway, Bak Gua or Bak Kua (Hokkien dialect) all refer to the same thing lah, or what u call as yok kon in Cantonese :)
Neh.. the square BBQ pork meat or dried meat square leh..
or 肉干 in Chinese :)

Jellyfish said...

Chen said...

But too bad, u cannot eat bak kua at the moment cos u still sakit..

Jellyfish said...

Sharl612 said...

Have you try the bacon bak kua? It is so nice that I am going to tapao some home for Chinese New Year.
And speaking of the crowd at WoLaiYeh at Petalig Street, now can go buy at the branches, less queue. Last year I bought from SS2.

Chen said...

jellyfish,
wah.. talk about yummy food then can recover liao?
So this is the most effective medicine for u?? :D
Hahha... Good to know u have fully recovered..

sharl612,
I haven't tried the bacon bak kua yet.
Will go and get some :)

My KL friends told me that the Bak Kua in WoLaiYeh branches at other places is not as nice as the one in Petaling Street.. How true is it, I don't know :)

Sam I Am said...

Incredibly, they found that in the region sampled, while consistently fewer people chose to drive their cars on Friday the 13th, the number of hospital admissions due to vehicular accidents was significantly higher than on "normal" Fridays

Chen said...

sam i am,
Wow.. something interesting :D
