Sotong Sister is in Town

Met up with my dear sotong sister, lenglui Maymay last Saturday. After driving merry-go-round (luckily just for a short while) in Seberang Jaya, I managed to find my way to her hotel in SJ. Hehehe, I'm hopeless with the roads outside Penang island. I kidnapped her to Penang island after going through a don't-know-how-long traffic jam on the Penang bridge.

Thanks a million, Ah May, for the nice pinkie Octopus. So cute, so chu-bee. Big round eyes. Adding another sotong to my expanding sotong collection. (Yeah !!!)

Ah Boy gets his pressie too (How nice). A equivalent chu bee beanie bone.. Ah Boy manja-ed and played with Maymay for quite some time.. But suddenly he misbehaved and ended up being punished. Today I pinjam-ed his bone to play for a while. Shhhh.. Don't tell him ;)

Mmmm... What's going on here??? Scratching? Tickling? Indecent Exposure?? The thing that caught my attention is the prominent bulging blood vessels on the hands. Hahaha, Can easily push in the 14 gauge (14G) big bore branula. How nice if all the patients have such prominent nice veins... Ooops... sorrylah.. Somehow I like to observe people's hand for veins. Hard to kick off this bad habit.

We went to Air Itam for Assam Laksa in the late evening but too bad, the stall was closed prematurely. Dunno why the stall closed so early that day. I felt guilty.... Should have left the house earlier instead :( I gotta tapao assam laksa for her liao if I go to KL in the future...

We went to the Hawker Centre in New Lane, off Macalister Road. This hawker centre is located next to the Sunway Hotel. The place was congested as the old chinese saying - People Mountain People Sea (人山人海). We sat next to the blue wall with free entertainment - endless Christmas songs from the CD shop next door. Thank God it didn't rain yesterday night. It was a warm night though with occasionally refreshing breeze.

Satay Babi or Pork Sate. *Non Halal* Not suitable for Liucas (Dunno why but Angel cakap punya), but definitely suitable for Ah Boy. Suitable and I cakap only, cos I didn't tapao back for him :P

Chee Cheong Fun with thick prawn paste & chilli paste. This stall sells one of the best Chee Cheong Fun in Penang.

Curry Chee Cheong Fun with tauhu pok, coagulated blood, cockles, bean sprout and bla bla bla. The modified version of Curry Mee.

Sinful Oh Chean or Fried Oyster Omelette. If eating this frequently, guarantee will get heart attack or ischaemic heart disease with blocked coronary blood vessels - be it single vessel disease or double vessel disease or triple vessel disease :P

Equally sinful Char Koay Kak. Another high calories dish... ladened with oil :P

The not so sinful Chendol.

The less sinful Ais Kachang with fruits and ice cream.

Wanted to order Fruit Rojak earlier on but at the end our stomach failed us.. We drove around the town to see-see look-look in the dark. Part of the town is congested with nearly static traffic jam (along the Upper Penang Street) coz of the Digi Street Blast. Finally we called it a day night after May managed to find a room.

I woke up around 6:30 am the next morning. Mmmm... Even though I only slept for 3 and half hours but surprisingly I didn't feel sleepy. Might be coz I didn't have to go to work today? Somehow we feel more energetic when we are not working. I managed to catch a glimpse of the sunrise before heading for breakfast later in the morning.

We had not-so-sinful dimsum (har kau, siew mai, lormaikai etc) at Leong Kee Tea Garden.

Time really flies. After dimsum, it's soon time to bid farewell.. Mmmm... Traffic jam in the early Sunday morning in Penang Bridge. As expected, an accident took place earlier on causing the massive traffic jam. After crawling like a turtle advancing my car inches by inches for almost 20 minutes, we drove past the accident venue. We kay poh and took a glimpse at the car number plate. If my memory didn't fail me, the number was 1859? Anyway, since both of us don't buy numbers, so just let it be..... Finally I managed to send May back safe & sound across the Penang Bridge without sesat. Nice meeting you, May :)
