PENANGITES

Guys n gals,

Just installed a chat widget onto the blog. Feel free to chat whenever you see I'm available online. Maybe we can get to know each other better...hahaha...

I have also compiled the top singles for 1970 and 1971 onto a new playlist. Will be uploading it in a few days since the jazzy playlist has just been uploaded to the site. Enjoy that first.

Met a friend recently and he was talking about Penangites. What he said has got truth in it after I ponder for a while on my friends behavioral pattern.

1. Always want the best stuff but mind paying high for it.
2. Always want the best service but still want to pay less for it.
3. Go to a club with live music but despise paying RM50 for a jug.
4. No food is good to them unless they get it in Penang.

These are a few things that I remembered him telling me. Well, I guess thats Penang. But I can vouch for item 4, there is no food like Penang food. That is the reason why everywhere you go they start using Penang Char Koay Teow, Penang Laksa, Nasi Kandar Pulau Pinang and all that jazz. But please bear in mind, its not even close to the lousiest food you get in Penang.

There is this mamak selling Pasembor in Subang Jaya. He'll come in a small pickup and just park beside Mc D ( if I'm not mistaken) during lunch time and you see people queing up like buying tickets to a Harry Potter movie. Tried it once, nothing drastic about it, definitely the one in Penang is much much better. They called it Rojak.

The other thing that KLites know about Penang is the Nasi Kandar lah...The name that pops out will be Line Clear. I guess Penangites don't eat there anymore nowadays coz we have a lot more choices to vet thru. And once a friend of mine introduce a Nasi Kandar shop on Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman, opposite the Tunes Hotel, and claiming it to be as good as Penang. Well, boleh tahan je lah...

Hello, Bangsa Malaysia, I must agree that Penang food IS THE BEST!! I must add that Penangites also want the best of both worlds (for the price of one) eg.laksa with both types of soup - lemak (Siamese) with the assam one in one bowl; a bowl of hokkien mee with the normal soup mixed with the sticky("lor")mixture. Haggling for discounts is in the blood of every true-blue Penangite. THUMBS UP TO THE ONE & ONLY FOOD HAVEN.....thanks for the refreshing
new addition to your playlist.
