BLOGGING HERE I COME.

Hi People out there!

Welcome to my blog....

For a start, allow me to tell you the rationale behind the name of my blog.

"talk-come-talk-go" is a typical Malaysian lingo which simply means "easy talking" in English. In Mandarin it's "chiang lai chiang chi" or in Penang Hokkien it's "kong lai kong kee".

In short...in this blog I will talk about everything under the sun and even under the moon! From the heavier stuff like the state of the world economy, local politics, social issues etc... to the simpler things in life like where to get the best chee cheong fun or how to fold clothes more systematically!

Of course, I will also express my feelings of weariness during my down days or tell you my feelings of euphoria and joy of having done something good.

Therefore, basically this blog would be my platform and avenue to express myself humbly and honestly ... and hopefully, I would be able to discover and know myself more intimately along the way.......as the saying goes " to thyself be true "

Of course, feedbacks, comments and sharings from you people out there as "co-talkers" are most welcome.

Thank you.

So...I shall start to"talkcometalkgo" now....

My first topic is about FOOD...yes glorious FOOOOD!

Being a "thorough-bred" and "true blood" Penangnite, one of my favourite pastime is to scout around for good food wherever they may be...

This evening the missus decided to go back to her working place to do some "overtime" at her place of work at Jalan Van Praagh (off Perak Road) and the family tagged along as we needed to fill our stomachs first. In order to have a quick (but good) dinner, she suggested a "choo char" place next to the new SJKC Kheng Tean. Actually it is a coffee shop (corner unit) at a row of not too new shophouses.

Actually, it was not the first time we had our dinner there, but I always believe that this typical "choo char" outlets do have a wide range in their menu, if you are adventurous to try them out.

The last time we were there, we tried their "pai kut gulai" and it was heavenly! The pork ribs were succulent and tender and the gravy of the curry was thick and rich without being too spicy. Imagine "banjir-ing" hot white rice with the "kuah"!!

This time , we ordered the "moey chai khau yok". The pork slices (belly pork) was proportionately divided between the lean and fatty parts and the moey chai was not too salty. Verdict...very good. Next we had the fried chicken with cheese. a "fusion" chinese / western dish with the cheese melting evenly on the chicken. Please don't ask me how they do that. We also had the "poh ho" soup with a raw egg in the soup for mixture. Of course we did have the usual "malai fung kwang" ( fried kangkung with chillies and belacan) and the consistency of this typical malaysian fare was superb!

As I always tell my friends...my "mission" is to look out for C&G (Cheap & Good) food outlets...and this "choo char" place belongs to this category.

Apart from the good food here in Jalan Van Praagh, you will also have the added attraction to walk off your "fullness" in one of the biggest pasar malam in Penang if you happened to dine there during Friday nights.
