I was watching a programme on Discovery Travel & Living channel yesterday. It was called Bizzare Foods: Asia. I didn't find the host, Chef Andrew, good though. One thing is that he didn't really know how to taste the food and also failed to get names of certain things wrong. I'll only comment on the part where he went to Penang, Malaysia.
A few things he said which was, well....you'll get the picture once you read them:
He pronounced Malay as Meh Lay.....what's up with that?
Ikan bilis became Eye Can Bilis....sheesh, get your pronunciation right, dude.
He said that belacan is nasty looking.....Nooooooo, it isn't!
Peking duck=Pay King Duck?!
Coagulated pigs blood is the most unpleasent thing. Yeah right, don't eat lah.
Well, my English lecturer didn't go ballistic today. *phew*
