合艾2012:美食篇之Hachiban Ramen


这家Hachiban Ramen位于蠡園酒店(Lee Gardens Plaza Hotel)的1楼。打从入住这家酒店那天起,我就一直想试试这里的拉面了。

但由于两老比较向往吃道地的街边泰国料理,我就没向他们提出此要求。

然而,父母见我每次经过此店都会放慢脚步因此就问了一句:“是不是要吃拉面啊?”

真不愧是我爹娘也!那么了解我!

就这样,我们终于走进去啦!

合艾2012:美食篇之蠡園酒店33楼Sky Buffet


之前提到,我们入住了全合艾(Hatyai)最高的酒店 - 蠡園酒店(Lee Gardens Plaza Hotel)而在它第33层的顶楼有个非常廉价,叫Sky Buffet的自助餐。

成人只须区区的169泰铢(6.70新币),就能够享用丰盛的一餐。乐龄还享有50%!

听说这已经是起过价的了 - 之前是149泰铢(5.90新币)呢!

既然有这么划算的自助餐,我们又岂能错过?

合艾2012:酒店篇


大家好,我刚结束了5天4夜的合艾(Hatyai)之旅。

合艾处于泰国南部宋卡府,靠近马来西亚的边界。是许多马来西亚于新加坡人爱到的旅游地点。

我家几乎年年都会到那放松一下,所以今年也不例外。

只是,我们这次决定不安排任何的行程;我们不去拜佛,不逛水上市场,不光赏人妖秀也不去看美人鱼。

这些都是往年去过,看过,玩过的因此没必要再花钱去多一次。

因为纯粹是staycation,所以大部分的时间除了在酒店附近买东西,吃东西和按摩外,就是呆在房里补眠。

这次的旅行有爽到 ~

Seventh Death Anniversary


宝贝

今天翻出你的遗物,
你已離開了那么多年。

每逢想起你的点点滴滴,
里就不由自主地揪了一下。

在开始写这篇时才赫然发现,
原来我已没有任何你的照片可用了。

往年都是反复地使用那几张仅有却已发了黄的照片。
非常纳闷为何当初没能为你留下多些回忆呢?

自从你离开以后,
我都尽量避免我们曾一起散步的街道。

Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi, Penang


Penang is a melting pot of cultures with east-west influences. Apart from its exotic food, what piques me the most would be their heritage.

The Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi (龙山堂邱公司), or simply, Khoo Kongsi for short, is a clan association in Penang that was built by the immigrants from Sin Kang village in the Hokkien province of China for the purpose of looking after the welfare of their fellow clansmen.

Before my visit, I wonder why many have commented on the elusiveness of its location? It was only when I was there in person that I truly understood what they meant.

The main entrance at Cannon Street bears no clue as to what might be inside as it looked just like any of its neighbors along the entire row of pre-war building.

Happy 14th Barkday!


Some people suffer difficulties
Making friends for life
But when it come to you, my Pal
You're better than a wife!
You're always pleased to see me
You hang onto my every word
You will follow me to the ends of the earth
completely undeterred!
Maybe because you can't talk back
that helps the situation.
But I'll do anything for you, my friend
Without any hesitation.

Gurney Drive, Penang

Gurney Drive

Mention Penang and what comes to mind?

For me, it's the iconic Penang Laksa and Char Kway Teow (Penangites spell it as Char Koay Teow). And where better to enjoy Penang hawker fare than Gurney Drive - home to Penang's most popular street food?

Well, just think of it as Penang's equivalent of our very own Newton Circus.
