There are a few subject I want to talk about but never got to doing it. Procrastination, forgotten and etc. Last Saturday, my buddies and I went to a new place to hang around. We wanted to try a new place and basically how maggi mee goreng taste like being cooked by different people. Man, was we all disappointed and let down. Not only was the maggi mee tasted badly, it has nothing at all. Can you imagine that our favourite supper dishes is such a simple dish but yet can have so many different kind of taste from different places. This new place cooked the maggi mee with soy sauce and the quantity was like less than what a standard pack should have. It was basically tasteless, unattractive, plain and above all something my kid could have cook if given the guidance. They just dump the maggi mee into hot water, let it soak for a minute or 2 and then put it on the serving plate. To pull it all off and to end the cooking, he must had threw in some soy sauce, stirred it and then add 2 piece of cucumber to make it look original. I couldn't be wrong cause I could see the soy sauce colour around the mee. Something like wan tan mee except it wasn't as thick as that.
 
To make matter worst, we were serve with the screening of Asian Cup football and thereafter the movie Fantastic4 - Silver Surfer. It was a pirated DVD copy most probably recorded from the cinema but with english subtitles at the bottom. I was like...huh.........they are showing a pirated movie right in from of the police quarter and they are not afraid about it at all. I'm not surprised and neither was my buddies. We had seen DVD peddler operating from a half shop right under the nose of a major district police headquarters. They must have close 1 eye else how could anybody with the right sight miss this. You can't have the whole police station officer, staff, clerk, DSP, ASP and etc all missing the obvious trade going on in front of the house. Its preposterous and absurd.
 
Going back to the new mamak place, as we were half watching the show, we notice some peculiar subtitles being translated. One or 2 mistake we can live with it. However, as the show move on, it was clear the translator must have gotten a rotten F for his/her english. Everything was translated direct following to sound and not what was actually being said. The person must have only a truly and basic understanding of english like hi, hello, morning and goodbye. Other than that all the english was wrong. Its was pathetic and we couldn't stop laughing about it.
 
Later that night, I figure if those buddies of mine were some of my colleague, most probably nobody would have notice it. Because all of their english are like crap too.....heheheh. Finally, we conclude that the maggi mee at SS2 and the one in 'Ali San" is still the best among all that we had tried. Thinking about it now just make my tummy calling already.
