Where Good Life Begins.

Sometime last month DARL came back excitedly after meeting a friend, telling me that the sister and brother-in-law of his friend is having a cafe with home-brewed coffee in Penang. I know it’s one of DARL’s dream to have a cafe like this. But instead of having one ourselves, this time around the sister and brother-in-law hooked up with us to print them some t-shirts for their new business. Yay! :D

It was rather a rush work, as all the t-shirts needed to be ordered separately. While waiting for the blank t-shirts to arrive, we spent some time preparing and testing the stencils. We’ve made plenty of mistakes, plenty of carelessness, and learned a good deal of lessons and experiences. It was, after all, all worth it. :)

The cafe’s name is Sitigun. It’s situated at the Nagore’s Place, near the New World Park.

And I so LOVE their slogan/tag line: where good life begins.

After more than one whole week of hard work, we’ve finally got all packed and ready for delivery.

There are now under their soft launching period and will officially open on this Friday, 6 June 08. Me and DARL are both invited to their opening. I’ll blog more about it at Listen so stay tuned! :)

A Day Full of Yummy Food and Nice People.

Yesterday was a rather ‘unusual day’ for me. Instead of staying at home, I had to get on the road. Well, partly it was because DARL’s leg was injured and he had to go for physiotherapy after work. So I had to send him to work, and then pick him up from work, and send him to the hospital, and pick him up from the hospital. @.@

In between, I took the opportunity to settle some work in the office, and went for a lunch break with my colleagues. We thought of eating at the old New World but ended up parking in front of a kopitiam and went in for some chicken rice. :D

One of my colleagues was highly-recommending the fried egg from the chicken rice stall, which, of course there is no chance for me to miss it. :D When the food arrived, again I was so regret that I didn’t bring my DSLR along. I should really consider making this a habit. @.@

Anyway, here are some shots, taken by my lovely Nokia 2630. :D

My order. It came together with a bowl of dark coloured soup. I think it’s a medical soup or something. Tasted not bad. I ordered chicken, char-siu, and lap-cheong.

And here is the famous fried egg, with mild curry gravy. The curry really complimented the texture of the egg well.

There wasn’t a lot of people when we arrived. But right after we’ve got our food served, more and more people were coming in and when we wanted to leave, we had to wait for like 10-15 minutes for the boss to come over to calculate our share. @.@ We ended up walking to his work place and had a good chit chat with him while paying. :D This man is kinda funny, I tell you. He cracks jokes. :)

Oh if I didn’t mention it, the kopitiam is just somewhere opposite the hawker centre of the New World Park. I can’t remember exactly the name of the shop. The best I can do is, to draw a map to show you. :D

Later at night, after picking up DARL from the hospital, we went to meet up his friends from Kota Bharu. One of them needed to take the bus back to Kota Bharu at 9 PM, and he wanted to eat some good ikan panggang. :D So instead of our initial plan of having Hokkien Mee, we headed toward Queensbay Mall area.

I didn’t know there was a place like this near the seaside. You can see Pulau Jerejak from there. Too bad the beach was really… dirty.

A lady/man (OK la an ah-qua. I really wanna refer to them with descent words but I don’t know what is the best. If you know any, please let me know) came to take our order. He/She was so fast that she almost decided on what we were going to eat. @.@
