Light House for Whiting at Matang

This fish is called Chia Hu in Penang but in this particular shop , the lady called it Chiam Hui or something to that effect .

Otherwise known as the Whiting , this is a surface fish which takes the bait easily . However , the body is filled with a lot of scales so even if we purchased it at the wetmarket , descaling will take up a backbreaking portion of preparation time before one merely needs to salt and place it in a wok of bubbling oil .

To make life easier , this is why we prefer to eat it outside .

A Daiso winter

Regular Daiso customers know one thing . That is winter is soon approaching and here are some essential supplies you might need to ready yourself for it 

# 1 . Hand and Body Warmer

Update : Does not work for below zero . The heat is very slight and minimal and it takes a long time to build up .

Never used this before .

Yet I'm gonna give it a try .

It's a little early however I'm snapping 2 packets up before it totally disappears from the shelves and then I'd have to go loco going from store to store searching for it .

6666 for Nasi Padang

This semi makeshift restaurant has been operating for the past 3 years already and the prices are so reasonable , it left me speechless when they passed us a chit of paper with the total bill amount scribbled on it . 

I'll begin by listing out my favourite dishes then show you what the shop looks like at the end .

Bergedil .

 Finely mashed potatoes with teeny weeny chunks of beef and celery embedded in a pattie that's deep fried with a thin egg batter coat .

Packed , fragrant and delicious , I absolutely love this as the few places that serve bergedil in Penang seem to be slacking these days . Don't be surprised to get some that are swimming in oil , coated in chewy batter and as well as those that fall apart when you try to lift it up  .

This one's good .

Malaysian Witch doctor cures

Ever wonder what a Malaysian witchdoctor can cure ? 

Look below .

Like To Wait on this road ?

Jalan means Road .

Whereas Suka Menanti means Like To Wait .

The fact that there really is such a road sure is funny as hell .

I'm thinking that maybe there's a lot of traffic lights on this stretch . Or perhaps it is perpetually jammed .

Whatever it is , if I'm on it , I probably won't stick my head out of the window and yell at the top of my lungs that 

" I Like To Wait " on that particular road 

( sure sounds like an eternity )
