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 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。
