Celebrating “Everyone’s Birthday!” @ Gao Ren Guan, Jaya One
February 26, 2013 | 4,762 viewsLet me tell you one last story before I depart to Bangkok for a few days. Looking back at 2012 and the multitude of Travel Ideas stories … I kind of envy the previous position whereby I used to travel on almost a weekly basis; covering regions after regions in the country.
And all the while walloping a truckload of the best Malaysian food.
Things have changed significantly, and two months into the new year and I have yet to step out of Klang Valley. Aside from the CNY festive break whereby I spent a quality week back in my hometown of Ipoh; where this blog was born.
Starting work almost immediately after the celebration; the cravings for a home cooked feast plus the sound of fireworks from the neighbourhood was sorely missed. True, they do play with much more bombastic fireworks here around where I stay … yet, the pleasure in knowing that you’re nibbling on Mum’s fresh-from-the-wok snacks while watching the re-run of re-runs of Chinese films from the yesteryear’s is priceless.
This story details the 7th day of the Lunar calendar; also known “Yan Yat” or People’s Birthday and how we spent the evening tossing Yee Sang at Gao Ren Guan in Jaya One.
