The Little Magic of Penang....

Sometime in March last year I went to Penang. It was my first visit after a long time. Although it was just a two days visit I did enjoy it. I got a lift from my daughter and since they could not stay longer I just follow them back the next evening. It was just a night and a day trip that rekindle old memories when I would go to Penang from time to do my official works. While there I took this image of the Pigeon and the Trishaw that add color to my short visit there. Enjoy this image folks much as I had enjoyed snapping it at that moment in time. 

Have a nice day.

What a sense of loss if less of the world come to visit your blog! Each story told from the heart.
I was born a Penangite and went back as a tourist in May 2015 and all I saw was some jetties (for the artist pictures etched on plywood walls), less than mouth watering Chinese food from jetty roadside shop, mass cooked asam laksa at Ayer Itam and muddy coloured sea water. Somebody asked what is the government doing about restraining dirty water from flowing into the sea (in broad daylight!) as selling Penang's beautiful beaches is now a lost cause.
So, the saving grace of Penang Island for that moment was Penang Hill, the site where Indian Summer was filmed; now into Season 2.

Ikan Singgang....

Ikan Singgang is  one traditional Malay dish that is simple to do. Yet it is not only delicious but nutritious as well. Its one dish that you can find in the Malay world, perhaps call by other names, nevertheless it is still Ikan Singgang. It is the creation of our ancestors where fish have always been their main protein source; sort of the wisdom of the old. A wise creation indeed and because of it we still kept enjoying it  I have always love Ikan Singgang especially when Ikan Aya [Tuna fish] is use but it always taste as good even with other fish like Tenggiri or Kerisi. When making this simple dish one herb/spice that is a must is Lengkuas [Galangal] for without it the Singgang is not complete. The above image of Ikan Singgang is made with Ikan Tenggiri. Delicious as usual. Taken with steamy white rice and Budu [Anchovies sauce] or Sambal Belacan [Shrimp sauce] it is heaven already.  I posted that image on Facebook and below are two informative comments made there by two of

The Sunrise at Teluk Cempedak...

We were in Kuantan for a short holiday. As usual I always take the time to watch the sunrise at Teluk Cempedak; a beach that I call my own. I grew up playing on that sandy beach from the age of seven years old and I felt in love with the sea. So going to that beach is a ritual that I never missed to do whenever I am in Kuantan.  Early that Saturday morning of September 3, 2016 I woke early and with my nephew driving we left for the beach at around 6.30am. According to the data I had the sun would rise at Teluk Cempedak at 7.01am that morning. When we arrived at the beach there were already others there waiting for the sun to rise. I had brought my latest camera the Canon EOS M10 with me. It is a Mirrorless camera, the new new generation of the DSLR. It is much smaller than the DSLR and have interchangeable lens. As soon as I got there I walk along the beach and enjoy the freshness of the morning air. Yonder at the horizon I could see some light as the the sun makes it
