Midnight disciple of the Ikan Bakar man

Some Penangites pop cili padi like kacang puteh .

We go for our fix after midnight at Song River Cafe . Strange timing right ? Not really when you check out how many disciples are willing to make a beeline here and wait with the patience of a saint just to pay homage to this fiendish dish .

Tiffin service like literally

Certainly caught me by surprise.

Was waiting for my turn when all of a sudden, he turned up seemingly out of nowhere.

New waiter ? New staff ? Never seen him around before .

Yet the way in which he took care of my tiffin literally , made me feel like I was in the wrong place. 

This could not be a hawker stall . Had to be at a something something star hotel minimum .

I could not be in a greasy kopitiam .
