Sunday's Journey I

Today, me and my family woke up at 11 AM. Once my father woke up, he say we will be going to Jalan UKAY for lunch with our neighbour, Uncle Francis & Aunt Theresa. Isn't it weird that we skip breakfast and straight to lunch? The restaurant is popular for it's BEGGAR CHICKEN! MMM~~ must have a try!

Once arriving to the restaurant, I was confused. It's actually beside of the main road. Suspicous place...


The entrance of the restaurant. And some layout of the restaurant.



WHAT?!?!


WHAT?!?!??!?!


WHAT THE?!?!?!?!??!


GG!...


A cave??!?!?!


A house? The workers lives here?

I was wondering did we came the right place? OMG! We're LOST! A construction site! I investigate properly and realize there is name for the restaurant. We all settle down and my dad was ready to order. I didn't heard my dad order the BEGGAR CHICKEN! WHAT THE? My dad said that he already booked the chicken yesterday. OOOooo... no wonder there's a phrase 'BOOKING ONE DAY IN ADVANCE' just below of the restaurant's name. It is because of it's FAME. If we didn't order yesterday, there wouldn't be anymore chickens for today.


The best part of the restaurant is their cooking utensils. We use wok, ladle, forks and spoons, they use hammer, spanar, bricks, sand, mud and a whole lot more... The layout of the restaurant that we saw was actually the part of the kitchen. Woo... Their style of cooking the BEGGAR CHICKEN!


First, wrap the chicken with a few layers of plastic and paper. And cover it with mud or something and dry it to harden the mud surface like a CACOON.


The uncle buries it in the heated up sand.


After a few minutes, he dig it up and ready to be served. But before that...Cracking the CACOON-liked thing is another thing to do before serving. This is how it goes...
