Sat Night Fever

Come on one and all, Northern Touge will be having a mass gathering at the previous audio site (the lookout point) at Jalan Tun Sardon from 10p.m. onwards. We'll be gathering for kicks and come about to flaunt what you got! ;)

The location of this event is just turned off the Jalan Paya Terubong hill road onto Jalan Tun Sardon. Go uphill till you reach the peak (mid-hill) and voila! Some Balik Pulau kaki will know it better as Jalan Baru, connecting Balik Pulau to either Paya Terubong or Relau.

Be there or be square!

An evening at Mark's

I got an invitation last night to join Mark and a couple of friends over at his apartment for a meal and a couple of drinks. As I'd just got a light workout, I took a bath, got a fresh change of clothes and off I went.
I was greeted by a plethora of foodstuff, two steaming hot pots (locally known as steamboats) and great company.
First up, I had clear soup to line the stomach for the onslaught to come. As you can see, loads of veggies for all. The soup was SWEET!!!
Then onwards to the original Szechuan steamboat prepared by Charles' wife whom is from that province. The soup is made from herbs she brought from her hometown and the authenticity of the super oily soup is due to the weather conditions and lifestyle back in Szechuan. Everything we scooped off the pot was eaten off this special sauce which filled every bowl. It's true, Szechuan fare is as spicy as you hear it is.

Aside from the veggies, we also had processed "balls" and massive prawns (which cost RM120.00 just for a bunch) that I kinda sized up as lobsters!

It was a fantastic meal and its my first time having this style of steamboat out of China. It was an awesome meal and the company was great. All of us had cool drinks after and much chatting went on whilst some enjoyed themselves with the video games available.

Thanks for having us over Mark!

Sadly, the spices are hard to come by for everyday market-goers, but discussions are ongoing to maybe "spice things up" locally ;)

Northern Touge Race Day - Teaser

I'm still recuperating from the buzz of the Northern Touge Race Day held at the Dato' Sagor Track in Kg. Gajah yesterday. It was da bomb, the bull's bollocks, whatever you call it in every language... It was a blast!

Here's a teaser pic of the turnout yesterday...
The entire mamak was full of Penang participants, and spectators alike, having their breakfast and preparing for the track excursion.Check back in a bit for further updates as our media crew uploads the track day photos.
