Bak Kut Teh Post

Porcelain spoon

We had Bak Kut Teh (BKT) for Saturday morning breakfast. A bit of a rush because 1. we woke up early but the body refused to budge for a shower until it looked very much like we would miss breakfast altogether. 2. We had a meeting to attend at 0900. ( Meetings should not be scheduled on the weekend if possible).

The Eu Char Kuey was crispier than usual. ( A good reason to have BKT earlier really) and I was 30 minutes late for the meeting. I told the truth: I took my time chewing and enjoying BKT breakfast that's why I am late. Of course nobody believed me. You see, sometimes telling the simple truth is easier than coming up with a decent ( but untrue) excuse.
