Bak Kuk Teh - the main suspect

Really sick today and it was that delicious Bak Kuk Teh that contributes to the ailment.

I was lazy on Wednesday night, wanted to spend sometime talking to sister online. So I requested my mom to pack some food and she bought this famous Bak Kuk Teh for me.

The overall taste of it, excellent. The soup was so thick and I guess the cook must have put a lot of herbs to boil in together with the pork bones and ribs. I didn't finish the whole bowl of soup at once but saved it for consumption the day after.

Before I went to bed that night, I felt a bit sore around my throat and I knew it was coming. The next day, my throat was in pain and immediately I recalled the Bak Kuk Teh soup in the fridge. By the time I have the bowl of soup on my palm, I discovered that the soup was solidified to a form very similar to jelly. That time only I realized that the soup was highly concentrated. Normally, if you put a low density liquid in the fridge over night, it will still be watery just as the time you inserted it into a fridge. As for concentrated liquid, it will become solid until it reaches the ambient.

Well, my sorethroat is worn off now but some how i still feel the dizziness in my head. I think i am having a slight fever. Not going to continue to hold on like a hero. Off to bed now.

Dream...dream...Bak Kuk Teh.............scream!!!!!
