Pasembur Rojak

  Next time when you plan to go to Penang, don't forget to try this local food called "Pasembur Rojak" (or Indian/Mamak rojak). Penang is famous for it's Nasi Kandar, Kuey Teow, Lobak and other delicious foods. And now, Pasembur Rojak is also a Penang's signature delight.

One of the best rojak I've tasted ! 

Pasembur Rojak. (At Gurney Drive Hawker Centre, Penang) 

  With it's origin from Indonesia, Rojak is a local name for it, which means mixture. This cuisine, is actually a salad, with vegetables, fruits, sprouts, vermicelli, boiled eggs and meatballs (mostly chicken, fish and crab). With a special gravy which is made of jambu air (water/juice of guava fruit), squid fritters and honey poured all over, this dish surely will turn your mouth watery. I can surely promise that. 

Without a Hitch.

  What people say, "what goes around comes around" is real. Here's a story I've recently read that caught my attention, and I adored it.

  Here's what the article is all about, A woman, in 1958, she was working as a nurse in a rural area, was lost her only train which takes to her hometown which is about 200km away everyday. So, she thought of hitching a ride to her hometown, but, hours of waiting and she still couldn't find anyone passing by that road. A man, who was watching her for hours, brought her to his house, offered her some food and a ride back to her home. 18 years later, when the writer was driving, an old man with a small kid was trying to hail a ride, she pulled over and picked up the pair, after a few minutes, she heard the man said to her "You haven't changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same." Yes, it was the man who helped her over a decade ago.
