2 more months on this date, i will be going to nepal, annapurna base camp trek!

my love of 豆沙餅

recently, i just came back from penang after a weekend of hawker food binge.. and of course, i bought one of their famous food back to KL with me, it’s either Gee Hiang’s or Hin Heang’s 豆沙餅.. they are very famous in malaysia for that..

i can finish a box of 24 within 2 days.. the locals call them ‘tau sar piah’..

my first fond memory of having them was when i were still in my primary school days.. my sister and i, my parents and another cousin went together with my parents to penang for holiday, and we stayed at batu ferringhi..

i remembered that i were swimming at the hotel’s swimming pool, and i played water basketball with a few people in the pool then, it was not much of a basketball, we were just passing the ball around and shooting some hoops..

i was so tired after spending about 1.5hrs in the pool, and when i went back to my hotel room, i found that my parents had bought a box of 豆沙餅, and it was on a glass table. i didn’t know how it tasted then, so i took one and put in my mouth.. i didn’t know if it was really that good, that i ended taking a few more right after, or it’s just because i were hungry after my exertions in the pool.

and so, the place where we stayed then, batu ferringhi and 豆沙餅 are now happy memories that i keep with me.. and whenever i visit penang, i try to make it a point to go batu ferringhi, or at least gurney, and at the same time, find some 豆沙餅..

i think in the future, when i have kids, i would do exactly the same thing.. getting ready some really good snacks, i.e, 豆沙餅, and have them ready when they’re done with swimming.. or football, or badminton…..

love is good..
