Food For Thought (45)

Question :
Do road accidents happen because of :-
1) the age of the vehicle regardless of its condition?
2) the attitude of the driver?
3) the condition of the road?
4) the condition of the vehicle regardless of its age?
5) one or more of the above?
6) all of the above?
Hmmmmm.................

Observations Of A Food Blob (14)

Have you ever noticed (if you haven't already), that quite a lot of Malaysian drivers are ........... shall I call them weird or is it too tame a word to describe how these group of drivers drive? Anyway, they do at least one if not most or all of the following :

1) run the red light (what's the hurry, ha? Your maker waiting for you ah?)
2) do not stop at the junction with a "Stop" sign and some even honk at those in front who did what they are supposed to do ie Stop (don't understand or refuse to understand the meaning of the word "Stop"???)
3) ignore the "Beri Laluan" sign and expect others to "beri laluan" to them instead (a case of ....erm.... misunderstanding?)
4) cut queue at the traffic lights (cannot wait, ah?)
5) change lanes suddenly without signalling (Oi, other people can read your minds, meh?)
6) stop their vehicles right in the middle of the road and pretend that the vehicles behind them are invisible (Ei, your grandfather's road ah?)
7) haphazardly park their vehicle and ended up hogging 2 parking bays instead 1 (Yo, don't be greedy lah)
8) double and triple park and therefore preventing the other vehicles who are legally parked in the designated parking bays from leaving (Aiyoh, big shot meh?)
9) ignore the zebra crossing and pretend that there is nobody trying to cross the road using the zebra crossing (don't know what the zebra crossing is for, izit?)

 Anything else that I missed?

Sisters' Char Koay Teow, Penang

As we have been hearing how good Sisters' Char Koay Teow at Lam Heng Cafe is supposed to be we went to check it out on yet another of our trips to Penang. Errrr.......did we get the wrong place or did the lady behind the wok had an off day???? The char koay teow that came to our table was tasteless woh and no amount of crab meat can help it taste better. What a big let down. Can easily get better char koay teow elsewhere in Penang. Buutt......the prawn mee......it is one of the best we've ever tasted. The soup is full of flavour and very "prawny". Can easily drink the whole lot. Good till the last drop.
Lam Heng Cafe is a corner lot located at Jalan McAllister, Georgetown, Penang.

Very disappointing

A pleasant surprise

Kafe 78, Penang

Actually, we found this place by accident on one of our annual trips to Penang. We were feeling famished after a whole morning of tramping around Georgetown when we stumbled across this coffee shop. Deciding on the spot to have our lunch here we popped inside and ordered..........what else.........assam laksa and char koay teow lah. Err....... are we on a mission to taste all the assam laksa and char koay teow Penang has to offer? Hmmmmm????? We were pleasantly surprised to find that what is offered here are as good as the more famous ones in Penang. The char koay teow is tasty without being too oily.......more than enough "wok hei". The assam laksa is yummy, yum, yum. The assam soup is thick with bits and pieces of fish and just the correct degree of spicy and sour. Ho chiak.
Kafe 78 is located at the corner of Jalan Seri Bahari and Penang Road.
