I wrote this poem for a contest on TraxxFm and it won me a free one-night stay with buffet dinner for two at Hotel Melia (opposite Berjaya Times Square) in KL… KETUPAT Like the rigid palas leaves Bending but not breaking Thus are the people Of different colours, different creeds Interwoven as ONE Like the [...]
I came to Penang last Friday (20th) to spend my daughter’s one-week break with her on the island… …and my radio-friend in KL, Mandy, was so kind as to arrange her work trip to coincide with my visit, so she could be around these parts at the same time and she even went out of [...]
I’ve always loved yong tau fu – all the fish balls, the ladies fingers, brinjal stuffed with fish ball, the tofu also stuffed with the same, the dried bean curd and so on and so forth served in refreshing clear soup… But lately it has become very expensive. The above, with a few selected items [...]
Well, it seems that not many people know of this Ipoh delicacy… …but actually, I’ve eaten it before. There was a bakery in Bintulu making it and my friend, Jimmy, used to get them for me a couple of times until I found out that it cost RM10 each! Considering that it was just bread [...]
I’m sure every parent – father or mother – possesses strong paternal or maternal instincts and whatever they do, they will always think of their child(ren) first.

People keep telling me that whenever I come to Penang, I can just forget about the restaurants and all those and must go for the hawker food only – cheap, so much to choose from and so mouth-wateringly yummy!!! But the other day, my niece BDQ and her boyfriend, Jon, took my daughter and me [...]
After lunch the other day, my daughter and I went to Queensbay Mall just to browse around… Perhaps it was the afternoon of a working day, so it was not very crowded and that was fine by me especially with the H1N1 virus on the rampage. There were a few people who had their masks [...]
BDQ, my niece, came to take me and my daughter to go and eat this “RM8.00 Penang char kway teow” in some lane here but it was the beginning of the Hungry Ghost Festival and the shop was closed. They had set up some altars and stages all over the town…and there were a whole [...]
Call it bad timing or what, but my friend, Eng, from Penang was asked to go to Sibu from the 19th till the 23rd of August and I was supposed to leave for Penang on the 20th. Besides, my blogger-friend, annant popped up in town suddenly on the 18th…so, the best that I could do [...]
