Klang's Conspiracy Theory On Dried BKT.

Firstly, i will pose two questions -

1)Have you ever notice that, for those shops that sell individual bowl of BKT, they normally will frawn whenever you request for top up of soup (unless you top up a bowl of rice)? Especially those who really have delicious and quality soup, right?

2) And have you ever notice that those stalls who are willing to generously top up your soup request also have dried BKT?

Let me share with you my insights (Being a BKT lover myself and staying in Klang for some many years). Dried BKT meat is derive from the ones cooked in the soup type. They will then place the meat in claypot and add in oil, some Cheong Chan caramel sauce, a lil bit of oyster sauce, dried chilli, slices of ladyfingers and bits of dried cuttlefish for the taste. Which is why they call it dried BKT, and they do serve a bowl of BKT soup to go with your order.

Now ......let me tell you a story about the reason people created or sell dried BKT at their shop. Believe it or not is entirely up to you la.....

You see, all of us BKT lovers love the soup and normally would want to top up the soup many many rounds right? In order for the BKT sellers to meet the customers requirements, they need to use more meat and bones to prepare the soup. But at the same time, if they continue to sell only soup base BKT, they will still face the same problem. Hence, they come up with an idea and serve you dried BKT. Some people people prefer dry BKT and would have taken less of the soup. This way, they have some "Savings" for those who soup lovers.

What do you think of this theory of mine?
