its funny how even at very crowded packed bazaar, guys can actually hit on girls and well get their handphone numbers even with her mum with her.. yes that what i just said.. believe it or not, i witnessed that happen.. funny enough i dont see myself trying that out cos its just soooooooo typical of me to do so if i did. nonetheless i think its cos both of them already knew each other somehow? judging from the way they talk and all, it has to be..
anyway moving on, i love going to the bazaar during fasting month..yes this year's fasting month is special for me. why cos its been 2 years since i did my fasting and hari raya celebration in camp which pretty much sum up; what celebrations? this year im gonna do it at home! yay! but unfortunately, the bazaar at my area has been canceled due to the elevator upgrading on the block. however i did manage to drop by the jurong west one and i think because gombak's one has been close down, there has been an even greater number of influx of people there!!
it was packed! it was like bay beats all over again, less the loud music and with food everywhere. i couldnt tell the difference between the queues and the waves of people walking around seeing what food is available. but man, it felt great cos i think that's the whole idea of bazaar.. hahaha
so i did what i would always do, go around 1 time to see what's there and then with what i had in mind, i just queue at the most shortest queue.. if all the queue are all long, i will see whose selling the stuff.. generally i go for chicks who just look so cute or guys who look malaysian but this apply only if im buying ramly burger. or i will observe their cooking skills on how they flip the roti john and such.. such skills correlates to nice food.. of course lastly is whether the food looks nice or not..
however having not eaten for the whole day, any food would look nice so i generally dont use that to choose. in the end, i bought 2 roti john for dad and bro which my dad said was too "tough".. it was the normal kind though, meaning it isnt your standard mayo and bbq and chili sauce laden roti john you typically can find at ramly burger stalls and such. i didnt try it though cos too much onions on it. i got myself chicken rice cos the chicken looked well cooked and basically it didnt got sold out yet and i wanted rice. of course i also bought popiah basah which is a tradition for me to eat during fasting mth *mind you it wasnt bad, but nothing beats Mdm Lailee one* fyi she is my kindergarten teacher =) and yeah one of my fav dish, apam balik pulau pinang aka peanut cake.
sadly no corn in that cos the guy said corn tend to make the stuff go bad faster and it seem most people doesnt like the corn, im like wth, dont like the corn!?!?! which brings me to my next question, why in the hell is it called apam balik pulau pinang, literal translation, apam goes back to pulau pinang.. what's apam? it sounds indianish to me if you ask me. but it means a flour water mixture.. which is what the food is actually, flour, egg water etc. then why pulau pinang? why there? why not kedah or perak or singapura or what ah..
lol anybody who is reading this and knows why its called like that, pls leave your answer in the tag board, pls??
