Day 3
And here comes the oh jien! Depending on where, the spelling of it is often changing. It's written as ou jien, o jen, or jien. what have you. Yes, fried oyster is the direct translation of it. Now how is it that fried oyster comes in a plate full of it, without any other thing you ask? That's the specialty of it, when it is fried with egg and certain sauce, it just taste delicious. You probably wont find this anywhere else except Malaysia. At least for the way it was prepared.
Another day, another food hunting. We ate so much in so few days, that i get the feeling i'm gonna fall sick. And true enough, i did. LOL. And everyone jokes about it, saying i always fall sick whenever i go for a trip. In fact, there was a time where i fell sick just when we reached ipoh for the pizza, and i didn't get to enjoy it. What a bummer. But ya, i'm just not a roadie guy, and i completely didn't know there's medication to take to counter the car sick thing.
We woke up in the morning, and asked them where to eat. So they brought us to a roadside stall that sells simple breakfast. By the time we were there they had nothing much left, speak about always being late. After that we headed for their church, and it was quite interesting. It was good that they adapted it quite well there. Right after service, the regular members greeted us and asked us if we were staying here for how long. Then we ask them if there is anything interesting that we might have missed out. Well in fact our old friends asked them because they still weren't very familiar with the local food yet. They pointed out the fact that it's a wrong timing we were here, because they have the best of durians of all places. I for one wasn't very fond of the smell of durians, but back then when i was small i used to like it. The best part is the inner shell where my dad used to put some water and then drink from it.
He told us there's places where we can eat the very famous CKT and few other places. We then depart from there and headed for the CKT that always appears in blogs. After we've tried it, we came to the conclusion that it was overrated. Like way overrated. For one, the price is expensive, and usually for local food, expensive doesn't mean that it taste good. Later on, we went on doing other things, and met up with our girls. Well, their girls, that is.
