    There will be two opposing contingents of supporters in the WC, i.e. Malaysia and Indonesia. The atmostphere will be loud, noisy, and highly partisan. Any other support or cheer groups will be overwhelmed, perhaps ignored. There is a high probability that the Malaysians and the Indonesians sitting under the BC banner may split into two opposing camps, which will be interesting.

    No wonder didn't hear from you a long time! So you've 'disappeared' into Africa, where?

    and Taneepak, will you be coming back to be on Malaysia's camp?

    I was lost in the land below the wind (KK in Sabah) for a few days but managed to see the finals of the Asian Championship in Johor Bahru. I then went off to S'pore, KL, Pahang, and Penang, all in all for 2 weeks. Strange as it may seem I introduced a variant of the Indian Chapatti unleavened bread to a few Indian (Mamak) restaurants in KL and Penang, called Tandoorie chapatti. It would hurt their Naan business, another less healthy Tandoorie bread (leavened). The Hawkers food in KL and Penang were rubbish, by my standards. The worse food you can get is in Jalan Alor in KL. What utter rubbish they serve there. However, the Port View seafood restaurant in KK has excellent food, on par with the very top restaurants in Hong Kong and better than the average Hong Kong restaurant.
    I will be at the World Championships in KL but would not want to join any camp. I prefer to watch and study the actions of the crowds, as well as the players.

    Will there be any camp? It would be hard since the seats is scattered around during the event. Taneepak , you must have very good taste. I must be eating rubbish all these while.

    *Btw, sorry to hear abt your bad experience, tasting the hawkers' foods:p..Maybe next time you come and visit, ants and other M'sians can treat all of us with better foods..:p ;):cool:

    All non-Malaysian BCers should ask local Malaysian BCers where to find better foods

    Greetings,

    Definitely correct, ctjcad... :):):)

    Hehehe... taneepak just can't go around by himself to sample Malaysian hawkers' foods. :p

    Definitely, taneepak and all non-Malaysian BCers should ask local Malaysian BCers where the better foods can be found/tasted. :):):)

    BTW, I am a Malaysian. And I know that some hawkers' foods can be disappointing.

    Cheers... chris@ccc

    He might have found the wrong store.

    Eat rubbish, play rubbish!
    Rubbish in, rubbish out! :D

    Can't fault Taneepak for having fine tastes! He must bring us to some eateries he considers acceptable when he comes for the WC. ;)

    Isn't Jalan Alor that popular street behind Federal Hotel where many of the badminton players would stay when they play in KL? You should be able to bum into them when you are there. I think the Indonesian players love Federal Hotel.

    Yes, that is the infamous place Jalan Alor. Loh, believe me, the food there is horrendous! It is a tourists' fools paradise. The Penang fried keow Tiow, Laksa, Prawn mee, Thai Tom Yam prawn soup, etc are utter rubbish.
    Even in Penang the good old hawkers food is now history. The newer hawkers food in Malaysia is a far cry from the old.
    I was taken out by Singaporeans when in Singapore and friends and relatives in KL, Johor Bahru, Penang-and they are all locals-to no less than 30 meals in all. The British Club in Singapore serves food that is even worse!
    From my two weeks of eating in Malaysia here is my verdict :
    1. Excellent : Port View (sea food) in Kota Kinabalu. Pricey by Malaysian standards (about MR150 for two). For tea and coffee, a 24 hours Indian restaurant near the Hotel Holiday in Kota Kinabalu, which also has above average Indian food.
    The famous Ipoh white noodles (sar ho fun) is stiil the crown jewel, then (fifty years ago) and now.
    2. Good : An Indian restaurant in the Bangsa area in KL (Malaysia's Lan Kwai Fong).
    3. Average : A popular outdoor restaurant in Johor Bahru (saw Lee Wan Wah there having dinner after his win in the Asian MD), only for their fried mee hoon, but their crabs were rubbish.
    4. Disappointing : Almost all other hawkers food, especially at Jalan Alor.

    Yes, Jalan Alor is 1 min walk from Federal Hotel. Many players go there to eat also. I hope they are ok with the food there.

    You can actually find out for yourself how bad the Laksa in Malaysia has now become. All you need to do is to go to a good Vietnamese restaurant or a Singaporean or Malaysian run restauant serving good Laksa, in Sydney and try out their Laksa and then go to Malaysia to try the very best there. You will be in for a shock at the staggering difference, the land of the original Laksa being put in the shade by its so called copycats. The difference is in the ingredients-herbs and fresh prawns and shrimps.

    When I come for the WC I may get hold of Kenny Goh, the new general manager of BAM, to buy me the best hawkers food he knows. I don't think he knows what he is in for as I am a very disappointed Malaysian (of hawkers food) who will be very skeptical. BTW, I have not met Kenny Goh yet. He is the son of my small circle of best friends, Goh Mui Choon, whom I had lunch with in Bentong on April 23. I will talk to his old man first and then call Kenny to issue him a challenge.

    Off topic-Hmmm, waaahh..

    ..waaahhh, taneepak, 30 times!!!:eek: :D :cool: ...Just curious, when those people took you out, did you chip in for the foods or they paid for it. If you didn't even have to put a penny to taste those, then i'd say it's not too bad. At least you didn't have to pay for them..hehe:p :D ;)
    Btw, did you try the foods at Lau Pa Sat, when you were in S'pore??..what do you think of them??..thumbs up or thumbs down??..:confused: ;)
    *Oh, thanks for sharing a bit of the foods you tried. At least we know which foods are on the avg to bad categories. We'll make sure ants will skip those for the WC get-together meal...sorry, it's dinner time for me here, couldn't resist..hehehe:p :D:eek: ;)
