Gear Box for lunch?? are u kidding me??

horns up and mighty hails directly from my first post ov my newly food traveling themed blog. basically what ull be seeing here is bunch of my personal review ov foods ive tasted and also to all restaurants and dining area that i went from all over the world. i think u guys got the point right? hell yeahh!

ok then, lets cut to the chase. in the obscure area ov Kota Bharu (KB), most ov the people are actually aware for some ov exotic cuisine right here in KB. to the east area ov KB geographically near a place called Panji, lies a delightfull luncheon restaurant that is well known for its delicacy, Gear Box Soup.

 

for those who cant actually imagne how the gear box looks like, No, its not the real automobile gear box. it is basically some parts or joints of bone from a cow. basically the joints such as the pelvic (?) or maybe the knee area of the cow legs. well, from how they cut those kinda parts makes them looks like a gear box of a car (?). make any sense? watever.

ok. to order is not that difficult at all. its either u want some big ones or maybe a smaller one for only 2 person. i was quite supprised that the restaurants was actually crowded during lunch time and for such a remote and obscure area, that was interesting. and yes, everybody ordered the same thing. im supprised with the kit on the table. there's a small knife and a bunch ov straws. and im thinking this is going to be awesome.

then, came the food. i was definitely amazed by the looks and the soup was so steamy yet the aroma really stung my nose. ok, i exagurate it. but who cares. with a slice of a knife, i can see how tender the meat, joints and the fat cuts through. the taste was awesome...

i did noticed some of the newspaper cuttings at the wall ov the restaurant and i did overlooked one ov them. the bones and meat was boiled for 12 hours according to the newspaper cuttings. no wonder it was so tender. i'm also supprised that err... u remember when at home, if ur mom cooked some meaty soup and the fat would float and hardened it self from time to time? not this one tho. it stays cleaned. then came the special part of it. getting the fat from inside the bone. all u have to do is actually put some soup inside the bone, put the straw in and shake it for a while, then just drink it in. awesome.

it is not that pricey compared to foods in KL. for an interesting lunch, i think it is far more worthy. hows that for a start? wanna try? contact me :)
