Speculation has become part of our lives these days...
Out in the road u hear ppl saying that is the best and this is good and this is better than that and so on and so forth...
For example, in Penang.. many already have it installed in their minds that LORONG SELAMAT CHAR KUIH TEOW is the best in PENANG....
THe ugly truth is the the plate of common char kuih teow sold by an arrogant old auntie will cost u an extra 5 ringgit compared to other places just because it has a few big prawns hidden underneath..
Confusion comes in when we go there to have the char kuih teow and we find many many char kuih teow stalls, which is which and who is the original.... no one knows but ( trust me, look for the most arrogant looking one) confusion also comes in when we taste the char kuih teow.. its just as common as ever... RM 8 wasted!!!!!!
Western food, who is the best??? same case...... The public speculate that this is the best or that is the best and we trust them... but we always get dissapointed when we try it out for ourselves....
The main human weakness is that what we believe and think is often misleading us in making decisions.. If many of our friends say the wan tone mee is nice then 90% possibility we will say the same althought the fact is that it is just very common..
Funny isnt it... HUman Error Or ERROR HUMAN????

No harm taking the koay teow once in awhile but there are more nicer ones elsewhere which are cheaper lor. But the quality there also has gone down liao.
P/s added you in my blogroll. hope you link me too as we share the same interest...FOOD :P
Some of us humans are creatures of habit. We just love to patronise the stalls that we like, and even when the quality has dropped, we sometimes continue patronising them for old time's sake, maybe for the ambience or the company of old friends. For me, the best char koay teow is still the one in my hometown Kulim :)
