Makan at Air Itam, Penang

The next morning I woke up early. Papa was still sleeping off his fever. I told Mamarazzi that I wanna go "swimming". 

Off we went to the swimming pool in the hotel. I know Auntie Florence doesn't want to get wet. I purposely splash water at her.

Splash ah!!!

Had great time playing in the water with Kaw kaw....weeeee.........

Aiks! we sesat back to KL ah? Got KLCC geh???

Although Papa was having high fever, he still drove us to the Pasar near Kek Lok Si. What is so wonderful about the pasar there?

 Well, it's this Asam Laksa stall. Very famous. Saw in Isaac Tan's blog. Mamarazzi drooled while reading that post.

There was a constant crowd waiting for their fix of Asam Laksa while we were there. 

The seller was very friendly. He told us we can go opposite the road and sit in the Food Court there. He would send the food to us.

True enough. The Vendor sent us bowls of delicious Asam Laksa. Very fast and efficient some more.

Sedapppp...from far can smell the asam laksa aroma.

Again I had Keoy Teow Th'ng. 

I saw Kaw Kaw and Uncle Patrick having Cendol. RM1 something only. It's either RM1.50 or RM1.80. Forgotten but it's cheaper than the Cendol we had the night before. Taste ...delicious.

  

Mamarazzi scolded me for not finishing my bowl of noodle when I saw the Cendol. 

I cepat-cepat run over to Uncle Patrick and manja with him. I bodek him to let me have some of his Cendol.

I was surprised to see Auntie Florence's excited face. She said she found Koay Chap(RM5-50). Mamarazzi was wondering what was that.

When it came, she saw it consist of duck meat, various innards, coagulated pork blood and eggs. Auntie Florence claims that it taste wonderful.

 

 Popiah. Papa fever also walloped.

 Papa bought some durians. Taste good. 

Seems like it's durian season in Penang. Durian can be found at every corner of Penang. *Big HINT HINT Auntie Little Bird*.

Kesian Mamarazzi...can see cannot eat coz she was having sore throat. It's a good thing for me that she had lost her voice. Neh~neh~neh~can't scold me liao.

As we were walking back to the car, we pass by this shop. Seems to be very famous shop for Penang products.

Wah...Uncle Patrick and Auntie Florence really borong a lot from here. *Big HINT HINT Auntie Little Bird, again*.

Then Kaw Kaw noticed this signboard. Hmm...."Force-meat"? Starwars ka? May the Force-Meat With You!

WAREHOUSE SALE @ LEE HUAT PLASTICS

This afternoon Mamarazzi received a call from a very excited Mommy. The news? WAREHOUSE SALE!!!

 

The Mommy told her there is a warehouse sale nearby and that she will be going for a second round after work.

Apa lagi....ish...Mamarazzi's hand started to itch lo.  

That is how we came to the warehouse sale. Uiks! got special prize for "pembelian terbanyak" wor. Chammmm...shall I call lorry ah?

Hmm...quite a large variety of plastic containers. Weird...some are printed with special logo like Maggi, Prego,Bliss and etc. 

Price wise quite cheap and quality wise kira okay. Mamarazzi tested a few and the container does not seems to be brittle nor looks like old stock. 

While Mamarazzi was busy "grabbing", an Uncle gave me these. A scissor, a toy and he had wanted to gave me gula-gula but I refused. 

Don't worry. The scissor he gave me was not those sharp ones. The scissor is one of those which are used to cut funny shapes on paper.

When I arrive home, I immediately "start work". *Papa sure say my legs so long, looks like Tin Kai in these photos*

Can you see the FOUR large plastic of plastic containers behind of me? Mamarazzi memang crazy when it comes to warehouse sale.

But then this company also very clever as the sale start on 1st July to 4th July, 2011. Salary day?

Here are what we grabbed. Two Rubbermaid Trivet. RM5 for two.

A large rectangular container with two smaller container(RM15). One was drinking bottle and the other was water bottle cum small sandwich container. 

We had too many drinking bottles and water bottles. Hence Mamarazzi asked the man to replace the two item with other item. He agreed to give us this medium size container with the word BOH on top.

5 air tight biscuits containers for RM10. The Kakak throw in two scissors as gift.

A set of 3 airtight container with a free gift(RM15). Mamarazzi choose a drinking mug as the gift.

Another sets of 3 containers for RM15, bearing the word VICO on top. 

Again they offer mug/water bottle/ plastic bowl as free gift. Mamarazzi bargained with the Kakak there and the Supervisor agree to replace the gift with an air-tight biscuit container.

Again the Kakak gave two scissors.

We end up with 5 scissors, a toy and two gula-gula. The Gula-gula was given to me by the Lenglui at the Cashier Counter. Lenglui give, I take. The man give, I tarak take.

Wa....so many scissor.....can use to cut open the gula gula plastic lor.

Here are the details of the warehouse sale which Mamarazzi 'plagarised' from "Mommy Yen's" blog, including the title of the post.

After going to Pasar Malam at Batu Feringgi, everyone felt a bit hungry pulak. Moreover, was not full from the dinner earlier on. 

Hence Papa brought us to here. Last time Papa and Mamarazzi came to Penang, her friend Carine here. Found the food here were good.

sob sob...am sleepy leh...I don't wanna eat anymore. I wanna sleepppppp...I wanna go home.

But Mamarazzi ignored me.

She ordered this Penang "Hokkien Mee" for herself. Taste good but she still preferred the one at Woolley, Ipoh.

Uncle Patrick had this clear soup noodle.

Finally...a "presentable" looking Char Keoy Teow. Papa ate all.

My Cantonese Fried Noodle. I ate a bit only cause I was more tired than hungry.

Kaw Kaw ordered this plate to be shared among all. 

A very big plate of boiled Cockle at RM7 only. Not bad.

The food at this Hawker Centre has indeed maintained its quality and taste.

Address :Sin Kim San Hawker Center (新金山小贩中心), 168, Macalister Road, Georgetown, Penang.

Batu Ferringi, Penang

After makan, Papa drove us to Batu Feringgi. Mamarazzi said there got "Pasar Malam" wor. They went down to walk around while I accompany Papa in the car. Papa was not feeling well. He was having fever.

They came to this Golden Thai Restaurant. Mamarazzi was surprised. Wasn't this used to be Eden Restaurant? Hmm...maybe Mamarazzi remember wrongly.

 

You can see the fresh seafood being cook here.

 Wah lau eh...scary looking crabs..so big.

Ahem...rather funny looking "duck". Wonder how it taste like.

 I wonder how this taste like.

Australian and Boston Lobster

Such big Grouper.

 

Kaw kaw told Mamarazzi the fish name in Chinese is Unforgettable. Of course lah "unforgettable". Just look at the price. Nearly RM500 a kg. *pengsan* Anyone wanna sponsor us?

There were a lot of stalls selling knick knacks and clothing along the road. But this stall attracted Mamarazzi's attention. Remote Control Cars.

She end up buying two for me. The front wheels on this one can flip over.

While this one is more of a glamourous car.

 

I love the first car the best. RM50 for two. Not bad la.

Taiwan Blogger Fined $7,000 Over Restaurant Review

Mamarazzi was blog hopping this afternoon when she came across "Cindy's Lovely Life" Blog

The title of her post which captured Mamarazzi's attention was "Taiwan blogger fined $7,000 over restaurant review".

Mamarazzi googled and found the following from http://www.theaustralian.com.au/. Here is the reproduction of the news.

A TAIWANESE woman was ordered to compensate a noodle shop $6665 for defamation after criticising the store as unclean and its food as "really bad" on her blog. 

 

Liu Ying-hui escaped a 30-day jail term, with the high court deciding to grant her a two-year suspended sentence after she agreed to compensate the shop, according to the verdict released by the court today.

Liu was convicted of defaming the shop in February for commenting on her blog in 2009 that its food was "really bad ... too salty" while the owner was a "bully" and the shop was "unclean with cockroaches", the verdict said.

A district court in central Taiwan ruled that her remarks "crossed the boundary of an appropriate review" since she had failed to prove her allegations.

It was the latest of a number of controversial rulings involving Internet commentaries, after a teacher was ordered to pay her dentist for calling him a "rat's dropping" in March, according to local media.

Scary. Does this means even bloggers not allowed to give negative reviews?  Everyone knows each person taste in food is different. What you like, I may not like. That is what makes us human.

She posted the link in her Facebook and got a reply from a friend who is in the legal profession. The advice was " If you want to do a 'personal' review when you are not a recognised expert, remember to cite or convey the message that the review is your own personal comments and may not represent the truth..'.

Thank you very much Mr Low for the advice. Hutang you 1 cup of Kopi, okay.
