He’s been apologising at a press conference and maybe he regretted for causing so much anguish and trauma to the girls. I think he really regret as he uttered the word “apologise” for so many time in a few sentences. What a drama for the past few weeks.
So here’s a song which was playing on my computer when I saw the news on TV of him making a public apology press conference.
Barrels of fermented yellow beans for the making of soya sauce. Seen here is Szers’ cousin and the factory’s lady boss
Thats where they will bottle the sauce.
The boss explained to us how the processes to make the soya sauce that we all take for granted. He is a friend of szer’s mom and we got a few bottles of soya sauce for free and also ang pau.
Lawatan sambil belajar.
Just in you don’t know, in Penang, it is known as ma thai sou. Ok, I’ve been eating heong peng ever since I know how to eat coz my grandparents love it. Maybe Perak people just love it.
But I never seen how it was made and my recent trip to Ipoh was a very educational trip as I visited an old skool heong peng backyard factory. Went there with my szer’s mom, cousin and herself of course.
The 2 oven in the background where the biscuits are baked. The oven is something like those of the mamak’s tandoori oven. They will stick all the dough on the wall and let it burn… bake.
Testing the fresh-from-oven heong peng is not what you’ll get everyday.
The lady boss said their production cannot be compared with other commercialised brands as they are still using only the 2 old skool oven. Their production capacity is just a fraction of the commercialised player. But is does not necessarily lose out in the taste. One thing you should know, the crispiness of heong peng wont deteriorate even if you don’t put it in air tight container. Thats the beauty of heong peng.
The hot syrup oozing out of the crust burned my left hand. It was so hot I jumped around looking for water tap. Those we eat normally are already semi hardened.
Went to the hot spring while on the way to Ipoh the other day. Its a nice place. They have chalets there and run by Federal Hotel Group. Landscape in clean. There’s even a giant octopus at the resort. The place is quite a nice place for a weekend trip but to go out to the nearest town is quite far away. But if you plan to spend the whole weekend in one place, this should be a nice place. You can picnic, play water and go for massage. I love putting my feet into hot water. It kills all the germs that linger between your toes.
I’m standing on water.
How to get there? You take the PLUS highway and exit at Sungkai interchange. You will see signboards leading you to Sungai Klah Hot Spring. You’ll pass by a lot of Felda oil palm plantations before you reach the place.
I have more pictures in my Gimping Photos under the CNY2008 directory.
