Me and hawker… food...

See… (if you've not already known, my friends) I'm not really a hawker food person…

From where I came from, or rather… in my growing up years, I never thought of those food in those kopitiam, as hawker food…

Anyway, those food was mainly just 2 things, "kampua", and "laksa", that's all…

In those days, there wasn't much other variety like fried "kuey teow", oh, ya, there's one, I still remember, we used to go to this see-hua daily news café, to order the fried "kuey teow"… and I'll have my peanut soup, again, ti's nothing near to the version here, people here, like to have the thick peanut soup, but there, it's white in colour, you still can see peanut, and you use some condense milk in it…

Anyway, I'm not a hawker food person, and therefore, when I was in london, while everybody misses hawker food, I didn't really… I know, everybody elses made a big deal of it, but then to me, it's just some food, that I simply don't miss…

Lately I've been thinking about my "feeling" towards hawker food…

Again, I'm really not a hawker food fans… if I do eat, it's actually those hawker food, with "kam cheng", ie. sentimental feeling…

So, you don't have to bother to tell me, where I can get superb penang style fried "kueh teow", or superb "wanton mee", or superb whatever XXXXXXX…

I don't bother,

Mostly… I'll only eat those that I've been eating, and that's all, or, those that I somehow "picked up", just happened that I was there, and I'll just eat them, forever… unless those hawkers plan to close their stall…

Back home, sarawakian laksa, I only eat the one in the so-called MAS corner, ok, I eat others too, but then, the only thing that I want to eat, is the one in the so-called MAS corner,

And oh ya, the chicken rice, only THIS stall, next to the post office, ONLY their chicken rice is THAT special that, I must eat, whenever I go back to my hometown, ONLY them, can't find it in other places…

Penang fried "kueh teow"?? ONLY the stall outside the housing area back in his hometown, on and off, I'll be told that, "oh this stall's kueh-teow's not that nice anymore, must try the other one!", bla bla bla… but then, I don't really care, I must have that fried "kueh teow", as simple as that… but I've not been having lately…

And…

Fried "hor fun" (another noodle version, similar to "kueh teow", which… frankly, I still cannot differentiate which is which, and to me, they all taste the same), somewhere in chai-leng park, corner stall, at present, they're still selling for RM3 per portion, I simply think that, there're some element of charity, oh!! Come on, there're some vege, some pork, some little shrimp in there, though portion is pretty small, but it's just a little bit too cheap for me, however, this, remind me of the fried "kueh teow" back in see-hua office's café during my childhood time, and DAMN GOOD!! Lately, we went back to his hometown, we takeaway… ahem… 7 portion for 4 adults, kekekeke… no need to say LA, both of us finished 2.5 each… kakakakaka!!! One word, SYOK!!!

I know most of the people when they hear about penang food, sure go crazy, but then, to me, it's probably something like these 2, the rest, I'm not so into it, overall, regardless penang version, or what other version…

Generally, I'm just not a hawker food person,

In short, if I were to have something to eat, and to long for, it's basically those that have some sentimental value to me...
