In year 2004 Hitz FM came out with a brilliant program called "The Adventure of Dr Know-it-all". The program was basically encourage the listeners to learn & know more about history in a very funny manner. I still remember some of the topics were, The history of Refrigerator & Freezer, The Bikini, Cell phone & etc.
I like fun learning...but sometimes what you have been taught may not be true. Some maybe Taboos or some maybe you have learned it from the wrong person & at the wrong time. The classic two examples that i can relate to were :
1) Nasi Goreng Pattaya (Pattaya Fried Rice)
It is one of the popular mamak food in Malaysia with Fried rice wrapped with a thin layer of fried egg. I would say many Malaysian thought it was originated from Pattaya, so do I. It was later that i found out there is no such thing in Pattaya.
2) Spaghetti Balognese
Haha...this one i just found out recently via AFC (Asian Food Channel). Spaghetti Balognese is not from Balogna nor from Italy!!! Even though Balognese Sauce is very famous dish in Italy. I was amused knowing that I believed the wrong stuff all these while.
Hmm.... How many more stuff that i know of are not the actual facts, I wonder????!!! ;p
