    Its not easy to find pork to eat in Petaling Jaya nowadays, but we won't allow anything to stop us from our sacred rights of eating pork. I recalled seeing one BKT shop somewhere near Restoran OK, so I drove to that side of SS2 immediately (it was already 12:50pm). After thanking God for blessing us with a parking spot (can be a pain in the arse in this neighbourhood), we finally smelt BKT!!

    The restaurant was already crowded by the time we reached there. But fortunately we still managed to get a table. The first thing that you'll see when you walk into the restaurant is the small "kitchen" area where a Burmese/Thai worker is cutting up those pork. *slurp*

    The menu is put up high on the wall, with the prices there as well. So chances of kena rip-off is basically down to zero, unless you choose to order their "Chiu Pai" (signature) fish. For the fish, they just wrote this: MARKET PRICE.

    After doing some recon (spying) at other tables, we decided to go with the flow. One dish very notable is their mentioned Signature Fish, which I can see on almost every tables there. The friendly lady boss also recommended their Emperor Chicken, and we of course also ordered the craved bak kut teh.

    It didn't take them long before they start serving the dishes. We probably waited for just 5 minutes? The first to arrive is the bak kut teh (RM15 for 2 pax). We asked for leaner meat, and no intestines (the girls don't eat 'em..grrr ).

    The meat itself is pretty good, with just the right taste. Usually I'm not so keen on leaner meats because some are pretty hard and chewy. But the lean meat here is firm enough but not too hard. But the soup is a tad too disappointing in my opinion. Its slightly too mild, with a little hint of herbal flavour. Those that prefers strong herbal taste might wanna give this one a miss.

    Being a chicken-lover, I was looking forward for their Emperor Chicken (RM15). When it came to our table, I thought it looks fabulous.

    This dish is not big actually, with only a whole leg and 2 chicken legs. With a price tag of RM15, I was expecting bigger portion actually. The chicken tasted very good and the texture is just right. The herbal soup (broth) goes very well with the steamed rice too. Well I've definitely tasted better Emperor Chicken, but won't mind eating it here again.

    Then finally the Signature Fish (RM20) came. I'm not very good with fishes, so I can't tell you the name and the name of the style of cooking. But I can tell its more bones than meat. The taste was nice, but just felt abit ripped off as the amount of meat certainly can't justify the RM20 price. Not worth ordering if you ask me.

    Although we actually ordered for 4 person (one of them FFK), but 3 of us managed to finish off everything. Everything except for:

    CHICKEN LEGS!!!!

    Just happened that none of us 3 like 'em, though some of you would kill for it!

    The final bill for this meal was RM59 for 3 of us. Definitely too pricey for a weekday lunch, and for poor corporate slaves like me. Well I might come back for their chicken, and maybe BKT too if Mungo Jerry is not going to open anymore during lunchtime. But the fish? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO...........
