3 reasons why Teluk Bahang dam is not for swimming

Not gonna dwell on the recent drowning incident that happened during the Dragon Boat Race. Just gonna let you, the reader know why you shouldn't swim in this dam.

Well, first reason is common sense. This is after all a catchment area that provides water to the surrounding areas.

Secondly, ( what some people suspect)  there are underground streams flowing into this place from the hills.

So while the water looks still, you can't tell if there is some sort of current that can pull you under, especially when it's been pouring uphill.

Next reason is this ( what I heard from some older folks)

Eng Lee Grilled fish stall- Song River cafe ( PF )

This stall is actually more reknowned for whipping up the most spicy small shellfish (lala) on Penang island, but you have to come later due to some agreement he has with another stall owner not to sell this bestseller earlier

Not to worry, his ikan bakar is just as crazily addictive.
It's nicely charred, tender, moist,sweey and spicy with tons of garlic slices encased in banana leaf.

The more you eat, the more water you'll need,yet you just can't stop.

Know what I mean?
