My BurgerLab (Seapark, Petaling Jaya)

Shi Gang with My Burger lab

大排场龙的高人气汉堡（My Burger Lab） 傍晚五点开门营业，世刚与友人提早一刻钟守候门前。他向我描述，当铁闸门拉开，四面八方的人群蜂拥而上，原本冷清的门口堆满了人潮。前线的的人直奔柜台，而坐在车上等候的人也立即下车进入店内，似乎每个人事前已被委派不同的任务，就等那时辰一到的提示声响起：噼里啪啦噼里啪啦，你负责霸占位子、我负责点餐拿号码牌、他负责往杯子里填满汽水。

My Burger Lab… I believe that most of you had heard about it and even try it for thousands of times already. They start their business at 5pm, but SG and his friend had been waiting there since 4pm. SG says that, once their shutter door are open, people from all around the place start moving toward their shop. In just a second, their shop are full will people that can’t wait to eat their burger. You also can see a phenomena there when you visit their shop, that is everyone have to pre-plan mission once they enter their shop. Some will queue up at the counter to make order; some will grab a place and etc. It is quite fun to see it. 

亞龍炒粿条 Ah Leng Char Kaoy Teow (Jalan Dato Keramat)

亞龍炒粿条 Ah Leng Char Koay Teow

在槟城要吃美味的炒粿条，是非常需要耐性的。咖啡店里坐满了客人，而几乎全部的客人都在等着同一档的食物，但却只有一人拿着锅铲在火炉上锵锵翻炒，你唯一能做的就是耐心等待。香味弥漫在空中，看着隔壁桌的客人夹起食物，自己忍不住咽了口口水，开始垂涎三尺，我想这是很多人的经验——也是槟城炒粿条的魅力。

Penang Butterfly Farm 槟城蝴蝶公园

Visited on July 2013

每一个蝴蝶都是从前一朵花的鬼魂，回来寻找它自己。

——这句话是苏打绿，也是张爱玲。

等有一天我醒了，会告诉你一个暧昧模糊的梦境：是我梦见自己的肉身像蛹一样撕裂，翅膀从内往外张开，美艳的色彩像是打翻水彩随意贱泼而成，我迎向阳光顺应风的触抚感受世间的温度，待起飞的一刻；还是蝴蝶在睡梦中看见自己变成了人，优美的步伐踩着绿荫，在原野赤裸向我走来。咦，那不是我自己吗？

De Yard Café (Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling)

De Yard (Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling)

这间咖啡馆的地点不易被发现，像建筑格局里「后院」的私人空间，高搭着凉棚，棚下有茶座儿，且在隐秘的时间隧道悄然开放，若不留心身边的风景，将与之擦肩而过。还记得第一次下午经过此处，咖啡馆还未开门营业。上周汶翰和朋友在 Gala House Restaurant & Café 吃顿生日晚餐后，决定在附近喝上一杯，一束淡光从咖啡馆发出，像磁铁般相吸，使你无法抗拒那股想要探索未知的力量。对，De Yard就是当晚的最佳选择。

Last week after my friend’s birthday celebration, we decided to go for second round. After have a discussion, we decided to pay a visit to De Yard Café. The reason we choose here is because we need some place to have a drinks and talks. So, De Yard Café is our choices.

Gala House Restaurant & Cafe (Muntri Street)

Gala House Restaurant & Cafe is located at Muntri Street where there have lots of café and restaurant around there. From the outlook of Gala house, you can see that it have some old Malay kampung house style. With the turquoise color, this makes it look some kind of modern in an old style building. Their building style is also very different with other building around there since most of it is old Chinese building.

Gala House Resraurant & Café 位于槟城古迹咖啡馆积聚的Muntri Street。餐馆外观带有旧式马来甘榜屋的风格，妙的是竹帘从上垂下，红灯笼挂在梁上，却带出华人村庄的人情味，青绿色的木制条纹设计为旧房子融入了现代感。在一条老南洋建筑的街道，Gala House Resraurant & Café就像一颗绿明珠，刚从深海里打捞起来，质朴素雅却特别引人注目。

THE ALLEY Penang (5, Steward Lane)

Visited on 3 December 2013

冒着飘洒的细雨踹落地钻进巷子里的小店The Alley，推开一扇玻璃门，淡淡甜糕点味掺杂空气清新的味儿真是舒服。还来不及拨动整理水滴沾湿的头发，店员立即给了我们欢迎的微笑，这种感觉甚至窝心，就像三毛说的：我笑，便面如春花，定时能感动人的，任他是谁。

落地窗户贪婪的把整片雨后的清新吞噬到这小小的空间，云开雾散，浅浅温和的阳光照入，流动的光束像首歌一样散开传播，极其缓慢安静。环顾周围的环境，往里边找个位子，到柜台点了甜食，便开始拍拍照聊聊天。

It was a rainy day, so we decided to pay a visit to The Alley to have a cup of hot coffee. Once we open their door, the smell of sweet pastries is welcoming you. Their staff is so friendly that they straight away welcome you with a big smile that gives you a gratifying feel. Then we pick a place of our liking and then approach to the counter to make order.

BROWN POCKET (Gurney Paragon Mall)

太阳西下，店里的人寥若晨星，可能这间店开张不久，还有多人未听闻。找了个舒适的位子，到柜台点了甜食，坐下等待与休息。和谐舒适的环境总是让我变得不爱说话，朋友在一旁拌嘴打闹，我轻轻微笑。然后，一片叶子一道光倾斜落下。

This is a newly open café that located at Gurney Paragon so we decided to visit there last week. Once we reach, we find a comfortable seats and straight to the counter to order some dessert and drinks. Then we sit at hot places at chill. The environment there is very comfortable and cozy. Kim Yau start to enjoy the environment alone and me and Shi Gang start to tease each other at the other side while waiting for our dessert and drinks to arrive.

Hatyai Food Guide 合艾·美食指南

Hatyai Food guide

What come through our mind when we think of Thailand? FOOD!!! This is a 2 days 1 night trip to Hatyai with the purpose of tasting as much food as we can. As you guys know, you can taste all the food in Hatyai in just 2 or 3 days. From hawker stall to restaurants, they serve all kind of food. There are countless food selling there and the down side is our stomach space is limited. Today, we would like to recommend some of the food that we had tried out in Hatyai. If you plan to visit Hatyai, please do not hesitate to refer this as references. We are pleased to share this with you guys.

这一篇部落主题明确，花了两天一夜在泰国合艾，不为什么，是为「觅食」。大家都知道合艾美食是绝对不能在两三天就吃完的，从街道旁的小吃到店里林林总总的食物，好吃不好吃，数都数不尽，更何况我们肠胃的空间有限。今天我们推荐了一些食物，假如你有计划去合艾的打算，不妨参考参考。

MADE IN PENANG - Interactive Museum 美因槟榔

槟城的魔镜系列壁画引起了大家对古迹文化区的关注，顿时成了游客必到的热门拍照景点。到槟城游玩，没有和「姐弟共骑」或是「反应老槟城风俗的铁线漫画装置艺术」合影，旅途就好像缺少了什么。后来，越来越多的壁画开始出现，有些在餐厅，有些在自家大门，甚至有了「工程庞大」的寻找101只失踪猫咪街头艺术。艺术与发展并存是件好事，但「多」也是一种泛滥，旅客的旅行焦点从古迹观赏转移到了五彩缤纷，颜色庸俗的各类壁画。

这一股热潮至今还未停止，却衍生新的形式——十一月开张的Made In Penang Interactive Museum（美因槟榔3D博物馆），中文名字音译Made In Penang，美丽是因为槟榔屿。

As you guys know, Penang had been fill with “Mirror Georgetown” mural which aroused many attention to the cultural heritage zone. You can’t say that you had visit Penang if you did not take photo with the famous “sibling riding bicycle” or   “rail comic art”. It just feels like you are missing something else. Later, more mural began to appear, some in the restaurant, some in their own doors. Even there are 101 missing cat street arts which require you to find all those cat in the heritage area.  Coexistent of art and development is a good thing, but when it became too much, traveller’s focus will shifted from watching heritage to all the colorful mural art.  

The craze has not yet stopped, this emerge into new forms. That is Made In Penang Interactive Museum that opened at November.

客家山寨 Balik Pulau Lodge

参观客家山寨已是八月份的事，写这一篇文章是为了分享游览山寨的一些大小事，顺便成为我们部落的当头炮。山寨这个词总是让人想起山里设有栅栏围墙的少数民族村庄，里边甚至住了许多绿林好汉，也给人一种贬义的意思，让人联想到昔日的土匪住处，但这个现代山寨却别有一番风味。

山寨特色：吃在山寨、住在山寨、玩在山寨。就是冲着这个头衔，我们有了期待。和朋友约好时间，直接拨通电话联系客家山寨，预定客家午餐。

那天星期六，打开卫星导航系统，驱车嘟嘟嘟前往客家山寨，靠着仅有的一个地址出发，途中一直以为迷路，因为人烟稀少，路途波折弯曲，知道在回教堂转了个弯，进入条只允许一辆车通行的泥路，走了几十分钟，靠着对导航系统的信任，终于守得云开见月明，看见山寨的指示牌。

由于安全起见，车子是不允许上山的，所以我们便把车停在数量有限的泥地，然后等候专车接待上山闯山寨。当然你也可以选择步行山路斜坡上去，大约一公里的路程，预计三十分钟时间，我们不希望一身汗水狼狈摸样，所以事先联络负责人以便安排专车载送上山，崎岖不平的山路，像乘搭过山车那般过瘾。

Since this is our first blog post , we are going to write about Balik Pulau Lodge. Although we had been there during august, but we still feel that it is so meaningful for us. You know why?  Because their boss share our photo in her Facebook and give us a good compliment. Haha!!! For those who haven’t visit there before, they will think that it will be some sort of minority villages or even there will have some martial art master that stay in it. And with the word “山寨”, we can stop our self to think that there will be a home ground for bandit. But no worry, it is completely opposite to what you’re belief when u visits there. 

Because of their feature “吃在山寨、住在山寨、玩在山寨”, we decide to have a visit. But before that we already make reservation with them for lunch, if not lunch will not be served. Then on the Saturday morning, we depart to Hakka village with simply a GPS and their address. 

Along the road, you will feel like you are going to lost in the middle of nowhere.  The road is slowly become twist and turn and become one way after u make a turn before the mosque. At last, we feel so relief when we saw their sign board. After that, we have to park our car at the parking space that they provide and wait for their car to arrive. 

There are 2 options for you to choose: 1) sit their car to reach the village 2) by your own trusty legs. We choose to sit their car since we all are so lazy and don’t want to sweat like hell. We have to much fun during the ride because the road are so bumpy. It feels like we are riding roller coaster. If you choose to walk by your own, the distance is about 1km and you need approximately 30min to reach. 

YOLO (In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on)
