Confronted by the sheer numbers of dining options at VivoCity , we finally decided to stop at Wingstop . Yeah , I know , it sounds so corny but that's what we did . Really .

Curry Times by Old Chang Kee
Felt like I was dining on a period drama stage set . The restaurant was after all , located in a very visible , vantage , prime location , and the extra elevated platform was a clever touch indeed .
Which is a good thing really since I like all things retro .
Bathed in yellow , the lights although modern halogens , recreated the time when people used to dine under one single yellow fluorescent bulb . Back in the old days .
Found ourselves a space right in front of the entrance where they placed one enamel pot full of cutleries on our table . These are made in China , not those expensive ones imported from Europe by rich Nyonya families .
Strange how even the make of pot can stir that melancholic effect in us , but it does .

Cakes fit for the Jade Emperor
At the stroke of midnight today , the skies in Penang will erupt with thunderous fireworks in celebration of the Jade Emperor's birthday .
In the days leading up to this important date on the Hokkien calendar , even hypermarts nowadays know how to put whole sugarcane stalks up for sale .
This morning and afternoon , saw a frenzied crowd in the inner city , making last minute bids to scoop up various items to place on the altar as an offering .
Rather caught up in their enthusiastic buying I decided to snap some pics at this single cake ( known locally as kuih ) stall just to show you what people here buy for that purpose .
Authentic Mun Chee Kee - Sam Leong Road
Can't think of anything more perfect to put back the glow on the cheeks , than a steaming hot bowl of soup for supper . And since this shop claims to be the King of Pig Organ's Soup , we're gonna give it a try .

Mami Midah Briyani - quite easy to find
Originally from Geylang Serai , this stall is rather easy to find via the MRT .
Just get off at Eunos and walk past the first visible foodcourt you see ,
proceed past a row of small retail shops , turn left and you will soon see another foodcourt complex .
Highly recommended by local folks , this was our second choice stop , on the Briyani hit list . First preference was for one place near Paya Lebar MRT station , third option was all the way on the other side at Tanjong Pagar
