Besides the textile and food, Tangkak, Johor is also known for the treatment of skin allergy by Klinik Pakar Dr Wong Tangkak which is located along the main street of the Tangkak town. There are many people who have special skin allergy seeking treatment from this clinic.

On our trip to Tangkak recently, we explore some of the popular food that is served in this town. While searching for the Tangkak Beef Noodles, we found a Tong Kee Bak Kut Teh shop which is just the next door to the Tangkak Beef Noodles shop.



At the entrance, the strong aroma of the Bak Kut Teh captivates our senses and we decided to try it out (as we like to explore some options).

We ordered a bowl of Bak Kut Teh and a clay pot of dried Bak Kut Teh. We the Bak Kut Teh arrives although the aroma was strong it lacks the strong flavour of herbs that we like. I would rate it as an in-between version of the Kuala Lumpur and Klang version.

Kuang Fei Tangkak Beef

After that, we make way to the next door shop where we ordered the Kuang Fei Tangkak Beef Noodles. Taste-wise, it was as expected, nothing much to really shout about,



At RM8.00, the portion of the noodles was way too little for a town offering comparing to my favouriteTangkak Beef Noodle in Taman OUG which is RM8.50 for a small bowl, but having a meat portion that was much more than the one at Tangkak.



We ordered 2 bowl one which is, the first one was the mixed ingredient while the second was just beef balls. We order one takeaway with mix ingredient plus an add-on of 4 beef balls. When we reach home, they beef ball was missing end up we paid RM12.00 for this takeaway (felt cheated although the boss specifically asks me how many beef ball I wanted to add). Next, we made a visit to a few textile shop along the main road of Tangkak to look around on some of the offerings. 

We were told that Tangkak also has a shop that sells this Roti Terbang. We decided to check it out from the Internet which later we found that they have moved out. A check with one of the staff at a textile shop says that they have since moved out to the next kampung which she gave us the direction.

Roti Terbang Tangkak

We manage to locate this shop and was lucky as it is just opening its shop at around 4pm. We were treated to the flying Roti Canai performance. Apparently, this Pak Cik is very famous as even Martin Yan has featured him in one of its TV programs recently.

Overall, the trip was nothing extraordinary for the food that we tasted at Tangkak but nevertheless, it was a nice experience to visit this little town.

Snoring Solution @ Premier Clinic Bangsar | Fotona Laser Treatment

Snoring isn’t just a noisy and annoying affair. It’s a form of sleep-disordered breathing. Snoring disrupts healthy, sound, restorative sleep and is linked to increased risks for other health problems. People who snore are at greater risk for obstructive sleep apnea, a more serious form of sleep-disordered breathing.

According to scientific research, people who snore also face an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, depression and anxiety. Certain people are more at risk of snoring than others. Snoring becomes more common with age too when our muscles lose its tenacity (becomes flabby).

The last two years, I developed a snoring problem, initially, the snores were tolerable at the early stage but it has gotten worse during the past few months as the snoring sound becomes unbearable at times.

One of the things that drive me to solve this medical condition; is that it makes me feel tired and irritable due to the interference of deep sleep. My snoring has become so acute that it is causing me to wake more often throughout the night as I was literally gasping for air due to times when the blockades got worst which are a condition known as sleep apnea.

During this period, I have tried many methods which include nasal spray, throat spray, neck brace and even exercises to strengthen the throat and tongue muscles, but to no avail.

In my quest to find a solution for my snoring problem; I came across about Fotona Laser Treatment which is available at Premier Clinic. I made an appointment with Dr Vanessa for a consultation session; in which she will assess the severity of my conditions.

According to her; snoring is a rattling, growling or choking noise produced during sleep and caused by obstruction of the windpipe and the vibration the blockage emits. The blockage of the respiratory airways can be due to one problem such as a narrow throat, relaxed tissues of the mouth and throat or vibrations of the soft palate or all of these put together.

The changes in the shape of the tissues of the mouth and throat are the main reason people suddenly begin to snore. If you have naturally narrower airways; the tissue in your throat could touch, block the airflow and cause the tissues to vibrate which will result in a snore. This could also happen if you have weak throat tissue that is loose. It means that the walls will collapse during sleep while our tongue slips back and partially clog the airway, thereby creating a vibration that makes the snoring sound.

After doing a fact-finding discussion on my condition; she did a physical check on my throat and confirm that I was very close to class 4 under the Mallampati Score and propose a 3 session for my treatment.

The Fotona Laser Treatment requires no anaesthesia and is an outpatient procedure that takes about 10 to 15 minutes per session. The course of treatment requires 3-4 sessions, spread out over a two months period.

The laser is designed to stimulate collagen formation in the mucosal area, which results in the tightening of the mucosal tissue in the oropharynx - the centre part of the throat - and opens the airways.

A total of 15,000 laser shot was fired into areas of the throat. What I felt was a little heat sensation when the laser was fired to a particular area. After the treatment, I felt like the throat has a little sore dry throaty feel. This is a common effect and will gradually come back to normal in a day or 2. It is this action which will start to trigger our cells to start the repair work on these tissues.

As the throat can be a little drier, the doctor pieces of advice are that I should consume more water, during these periods 2 to 3 days.

Stay tuned for the final result after my last treatment - probably in a 1.5 months time.
