Food diaries 1

I'm writing from Penang, where it is so much hotter than kl *sweating as i am typing this*
Its only the first day here and we've eaten as if we've not eaten in days..
we had lunch in New World Park which my auntie referred to as * waste of space in our stomachs *
Even then, we were full and everyone retired to rattan chairs and beds for a nap...
To compensate for that, my aunt and uncle wanted to take us to amazing assam laksa.. so.. woke my bro up from the rattan chair, and off we went for 2nd round.. it was around 4 pm..
This is in Farlim... It used to be in a stall beside a shell station, hence the name...
y is it so special?
its run by kakak-kakak dari indon! of course, under the supervision of The BoSS... thru CCTV! (notice the round camera on top)
the queues were long.. we had to wait almost 45 mins for the famous assam laksa... boy, was the wait worth it... *drooool*... Can fight with the kek lok si temple wan..
We left for home, feeling drowsy and sleepy.. when we reached home after a detour and an ice cream in Tesco, it was almost 7... Bro couldnt help taking a nap.. so have to wake him up again at 8 for dinner.. I need not tell u how not-hungry we were...

Dinner is at another place worth telling about.. Air Itam...mainly serving seafood.. imagine 6 of us, 8 huge dishes.. that was how much we ate..its amazing how much our stomachs can distend..

My aunt and uncle also told us a story of the almost mystical Anson Road Char Koay Teow Apek who only appears whenever he wants to selling Legendary Char Koay Teow.. If u manage to find his stall set up, u should be soo lucky.. how good is it?
Example 1- My aunt had just finished an 8 course dinner and my uncle had eaten rm 19 worth of bak kut teh (supposed to be for 2).. They were driving by and there was the apek... even though they were full to the brim, they shared a packet.. and had no regrets..

Example 2- My doctor aunt drove by and saw the apek and tapau-ed 10 packets >_<... to be frozen and microwaved whenever she wanted, and claimed that despite that tastes as good....

And here it is.. a CNY surprise... my aunt found him right before he disappeared for his CNY break... tadaaaa.. the famous Anson road apek char koay teow...

But is it really as good as they say it is....? Let my bro find out... Hmm... and the verdict......... Hehe.. need i say more.. (its not a look of horror :P)
