Back in Penang


I was back in Penang on Sat, 1 December 2007, to return my ex-company's car, the Nissan Cefiro, PFF1638. Upon arriving the bridge, the famous Penang bridge jam welcome me! Struck there for about 20 minutes and another 20 minutes to cross the bridge.

Picketing On The Street

I took this picture on Fri, 23 November 2007, on my way home from work. I don't understand why some people are so un-contented. Working in a bank which provide annual increment and bonus is better or more secure than working in some companies, whereby you don't have any increment or bonus for some years....

Tambun Bypass


The narrow and winding road from Tambun town to Sunway City Ipoh is congested due to the increased in population of that area. The government is building a new dual-carriageway to bypass Tambun town to Sunway City Ipoh. The bypass near the Sunway City Ipoh site has been completed but the other end near Tambun town is pending due to an old bungalow house sitting in the middle of the proposed new road. The contractors is now demolishing the bungalow in order to finish the road. Another heritage building will be gone in a few days time. However, traffic will be very smooth from the junction of Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, near Pantai Hospital to Tanjung Rambutan with the completion of the whole dual-carriageway. I think sometime in order to progress you may have to sacrifice something!

Deepavali lunch @ Manjit's House

Today is a public holiday in Malaysia for all Malaysian to celebrate Deepavali festival, a festival of Lights.

We were invited to our neighbour house to have Deepavali lunch.

Wantan Mee @ Yi Garden

Another of my favourite haunt for tasty wantan mee in Penang is at Yi Garden located at the junction of Macalister Road and Lorong Selamat.


The wantan mee comes together with char siew (roast sweet pork) and cost around RM3.00 per bowl. The different between this wantan mee and others is due to the big wantan! Each bowl of wantan mee comes with 3 big wantans. You can really taste the prawn inside the wantan.

The big wantan bring back memory to my hometown in Bidor, whereby the famous Pun Chun Restaurant also serves big wantan.


A father's duty


Ever since i came back to Ipoh, it is my duty to pick up my son from his school every evening from Monday to Friday, except when i'm sick, outstation or scholl holiday! I've joined the 'Parents-picking-up-children" club!

Koay Teow Thng @ Kedai Kopi Seng Thor

Kedai Kopi Seng Thor, located at the junction of Kimberly Street and Carnavon Street in Georgetown, is famous for its Lor Mee and Fried Oysters. However, I prefer the Koay Teow Th'ng (Cooked Koay teow with soup) stall.

The soup is totally different from others in Penang but quite the same as those in KL i.e boiled pork noodles.

The stall is one of my favourite Koay Teow Th'ng stall in Georgetown and patronise it for the last time before returning to Ipoh.

Raining Season in Ipoh

In Malaysia, we do not have 4 seasons but only 2 i.e wet and dry seasons. During end of September to November each year, we always experience rain almost every day.
The above is a view from my new office in Ipoh. Dark cloud appearing and will be following by heavy rain. Will be a wet late evening. Very accurate weather forecast!

Hmm, glad to be home with my family and is with them all the time!

World Coldest Ice Cream

Took my daughter and son to Ipoh Parade to try the world's coldest ice cream i.e
-40 degree C! We ordered strawberry, mint and grape favour. Each cup size 4 oz cost RM4.90 each before government service tax. Taste? Nothing special!

Gunung Semanggol Rest & Service Area

Another Rest and Service Area (RSA) that i always frequent when i travel back to Penang is the Gunung Semanggol RSA. It is located at KM190 of the North-South Expressway, 500 metres away from the Bukit Merah interchange exit no. 150.
The place is Wi-fi enable!
However, please be careful when you order the food. The food at the RSA might be cold and stale!


You can see from the picture that the RSA has been heavily decorated with Malaysian flags in conjunction with the celebration of 50th anniversary of the independence of Malaya!

Wantan mee @ Restaurant Sai Lam

Restaurant Sai Lam is situated at the junction of Carnovan Street and Chulian Street, in Georgetown, Penang. At night the junction is alive with famous hawker stalls like fried fishhead mee-hoon, porridge, fried yee mee, curry mee and fruit juices. And not forgeting the satay with sweet potatoes sauce!

Penang is not famous for its wantan mee. But there are a few exceptional places where i like the wantan mee. One of it is located at Sai Lam Restaurant. Beside wantan mee, they also offer beef soup mee. The stall open throughout the day and night.


The wantan is great filled with pork filings but no prawn. While for the dry wantan mee, it is a bit crunchy but perfectly cooked! There are some pieces of chicken and char siew added to the mee. The soup contained beef stock but they are quite stingy on it. You will not get a bowl of soup if you do not order additional wantan. For RM3.70, i get the wantan mee with 7 pieces of wantan.
