BKT

Bukit Kiara walk went surprisingly quite well.

Hookie came to pick me up freakishly early at 6.30. And we arrived at Bukit Kiara before sunrise.

*pictures rather blurry as i snapped them while walking uphill

S'good that we went early when the air is still cool and invigorating. It gets too sunny around 9.

Lots of middle-aged uncles and aunties striding round like seasoned pros, hands waving in rhythm.

The 5km walk didn't seem quite as tiring as i remembered it to be. I used to take forever, groaning and grunting and heaving and what not. I suppose i have built up my stamina over the past year. When i finished, i was astonished by how easy and fast the walk was. 0_0!

Anyone interested in having a walk with nature? XD Gimme a call and i might, just might be interested.

As we were coming down, quite a whole bunch of people were streaming uphill for their Sunday walk, but i had some other plans.

***
Went for bak kut teh with the usual gang, this time to another location in Klang. I don't know the road name and didn't bother to look, as i was the designated driver.

Seng Huat Restaurant. Located underneath... a bridge (i know how to get there, but if you ask me for a detailed description, under a bridge is probably the best i can give you). People say the best BKT can be found in Klang, and i couldn't agree more. Apparently this is one of the more famous BKT restaurants in Klang. It was bustling with customers when we arrived and i heard rumours that its bkt is sometimes sold out before 10 a.m.

What we ordered. Lots of pork. So people who are turned off by images of grotesque cut-up pork portions (notably Fish, whom we never want to invite to another bkt outing again), please shut your eyes, but imagine the delectable aroma of bkt! Seng Huat's bkt soup is pretty damn fantastic. Strong herb flavour, and not too thick and murky. It has, however, a slightly stronger hint of garlic but i'm not complaining much.

I think... this is some part of pork belly? I don't really know, but what i do know is that the jelly-ish, blubbery pork fat is mighty horrible. I never eat those (reminds me of myself, you see XD XD XD XD) *shudder* *shudder* but NSC loves them so i chuck them all to his bowl. The meat on the other hand is fabulously tender. Mm hmm! This is the part of the pork that you should be eating (minus the fat, of course) as it tastes better IMO.

Pork ribs. Hmm. Not much to say about pork ribs, i guess? Everyone should know pretty well.

Bak Kut Teh isn't really complete without yow char kuay/kuai/kuoai/kuey/guai/kwai/gwai etc etc. Goes incredibly well with the soup. Divine! :D

What i do have to complain about Seng Huat is that their BKT comes in these rather small serving bowls and the soup is often not enough. Due to the amount of customers, soup refills are limited to 1 tiny little red bowl.

Apart from that, our visit was great! We even doubled our order. XD

The girl who took our order was shocked! She asked "take away? or having here?" and we replied the latter and she said "whoa" in an omgwtf way. 8 bowls of bak kut teh. Oh my. I guess this renders my morning walk useless.
