Penang Darul Gagak

Wa wa we wa! Been months since i last went back to my hometown. Was lookin forward to this trip (minus the missing Cheryl part). Meet up with old friends, good ol' Penang food, erm... okay that's pretty much all i had to look forward to in Penang. OHH!! No, wait wait... How could i forget.. my cousin's maid's cooking. Or was it grandma's... See, grandma thought the maid how to cook, and sometimes she cooks too.. either way... it's just nastehhh!
I was back in Penang for 2 weeks. Here's a preview of what fine selection of food the maid/grandma had prepared for me.


Day One:

Name: Dhal v 1.0
Description: Yellow thick thingy which just has chilis in it and water.
Taste: Drink boiled water with chilis and yellow colouring. Tastes freakishly same.
Rating: 1/5




Day Two:

Name: Vegetable Curry
Description: Some carrots, potatoes and spices, curry powder and lots and lots of water.
Taste: Curry powder + water... with chunks of carrot to chew on.
Rating: 0.3/5




Day Three:
Name: Dhal v 2.0
Description: Refer to Dhal v 1.0. This just has more potatoes and spices.
Taste: Unfortunately, this one has slightly less water content thus, it doesn't taste too much like drinking water.
Rating: 1.8/5




Day Four:
Name: What da heck is this!? Wait lemme take a closer look... Ah okay. Fish Curry
Description: Watery curry with ladies fingers, fish, potatoes and more water.
Taste: Like an aquarium with ladies fingers in it
Rating: -3.7/5




Day Five:
Name: Veggie Curry...
Description: Lots and lots of unique water taste complemented with carrots, potatoes and ladies fingers. Yummeh!
Taste: D'uh!
Rating: 0.1/5




Day Six:
Name: You should know by now... Dhal returns.
Description: Yellow, slimy looking thingy with curry leaves floating around.
Taste: WATER! TASTES LIKE WATER DAMMIT!
Rating: How bout you kiss my skinny butt/5





Day Seven:
Name: Yadaa Yadaa Curry
Description: Curry, with potatoes and some veggie I'm not familiar with. Drumsticks!? Iono..
Taste: Surprise! Like water with a sprinkle of some curry powder and a Veggie that tastes worst than it looks.
Rating: None/5



Ah, there you have it. Pleasant dining memories at my cousin's house courtesy of that damn maid! No surprise I tried as hard as i could to stray away from my cousin's house during lunch/dinner hours. Heck, i even chose to walk all the way to the shops to get some REAL penang food. Thank God for Jun Yew, Clement and Jensen who rescued me from the evil grasp of my grandma's kitchen.

Apart from that dining torture, Penang was really aight.

During my escape, I indulged in steamboat! 18 bucks, Gawd i love penang food prices. It was awesome, and DID NOT taste like water. Stuffed myself silly that night.






Being the weirdos that we are, we went fishing one night. Started at bout midnight i think, and we stayed till sunrise. Fishing under the moonlight, priceless. First catch of the day: by me! Muahaha. I poured some beer on my bait, that explains it.





That was just some of the shit we did, mainly everything involved food! Nothing, i repeat (Cheryl take note), Penang food beats Malacca's flat! Hands down. No debate.
Good food, solid beaches, clubs are nice, and wooo we have huge malls now, Queensbay was it? Didn't go there though. Ah yes, and CHEAP ass DVDs!!! 4 bucks per CD. I went on a rampage. If those anti-piracy chaps raided my luggage, I'd be in jail now. Oh shit, what if they're reading this!?
Uhm... No. Stop piracy! I bought those CDs then i threw them into the sea. I swear! Piracy = BAD...

I miss joo Penang! I keel joo damn maid!
