Temple Gathering aka MIAO HUI


Cute Little 24 Drummers ^_^ The last time I saw this was during my high school days!

Lion Dance! Aplenty of them! I believe today "THE" day I enjoyed so many lion dance performance in many many years.

Dragon Dance! Only one-and-only Dragon who is available that very day.

Chinese Puppet Show. I'm not a fan of it, yet it caught some passer-by's attention




Wondering who she is? The "STAR" of the event for a moment there! This cute little gal was sitting on top of her dad's head while enjoying the 24 little drummers. Coincidentally her dad was standing right behind me, laying my eyes of her, I could not resist but to shout out "Look!! She's is so Cuteee..... and well ya! She is! With my help as well as her looks, seconds later, almost all passer-by caught sight of her, and almost everyone with a camera on their hands, started to snap on her! Check out the crowd urself! well this was just part of it! I have to mention what a talented star she was. This cute girl even responded to the crowd and smile at different angles and various cameras when called by the crowd.



At Khoo Kongsi. The largest (not sure) and most famous "kongsi" in Penang. Just look at the gold cravings, there is even a stage and performers to entertain the crowd!

There were much more activities over there. Different types of performances. Singing base on different dialects, performance of traditional music instruments like "GU ZHEN", local delicacies like "LEI CA", Pig Leg vinegar, Meat Dumpling, Fu Jian Spring Rolls and many many more. There were a huge crowd but luckily the event was big and spread out, thus it was still walkable. All of us had a tiring day visiting, and I felt like i was 20 years older, it was aching all over my body ( I wonder why? ) After the tiring walk, we were straving so we heading to KOCHA to have our diner!

Some of the dishes we had there.


Ma lak Steamboat (Spicy only) and Paper Steamboat (Sweet soup base with some taste of milk)



Three Cups Chicken (It may not look appertizing but it actually is!) and Fried Dumplings (GUO TIE)

We also had fried tofu, mince pork rice and a pot of pearl mo li flower tea.
The paper steamboat, three cups chicken and fried tofu is recommended.
Fried Dumplings taste pretty normal while the Ma lak steamboat only tasted spicy. I do not recommend having the ma lak steamboat unless you are just looking for a spicy soup base!
