Baik Kampung

Category: travel, life, malaysia

Should I switch to new blog or continue with my current one? Sometimes, being a Libran is never easy. Always performing the act of balancing & rebalancing. Taking forever to reach a decision *sighz*. And so I baik kampung “go back village” in search of inspiration, and some may even for say - “enlightenment” :P

With my trusty 2 wheels, we hit the roads of Johor again (Well, we do still have the last kampung in SG, maybe another time). Actually I was trying new route and look for the famous Waterworks Laksa. I got lost and end up in a Kampung near Tampoi.

My tummy growls, so we had to stop to fill up. This seems like a very popular eating place - any foodie with sound basic instinct would have their curiosity aroused. Ordering the food is easy - basically, you will be given a plate of rice, just pick whatever food you want. Someone would come & estimate the cost later. Though I enjoyed the food, getting used to eating environment where everybody are using their right hand to eat isn’t so easy. I’m the only one with fork & spoon!

oh well, no photos of food. Instead, i took photo of a fully “clothed” kampung chicken & chicks. Sure, I see these often in the supermarket, but those are cold naked ones. Hence it gives be great pleasure to be seeing a living & fully “clothed” chicken. Yes, they are indeed hot with their beautiful feathers, any hotter means they would be called panggang ayam (BBQ/Grilled chicken) instead.

By now, the weather seems to be giving a black face, as if coaxing me better be on my way back home. Unable to hold its “bladder” well, it drips a little forcing me to take a short stop at the next durian hut, savouring some kampung durian. (Sorry, no photos as my fingers are really busy then with some creamy pungent delights).

Then it was Sunny from Tampoi all the way Singapore custom, giving me ample dosage of Vitamin D along the way. Along BKE (Bukit Timah Highway), the dark face beings to congregate into real nasty forms again. Sure enough, I was being poured cold water by the time I reach AYE (Ayer Rajah Highway).

Fully drenched but not out yet. I took a quick bath & change into something comfortable before going out for my errands again. Funny thing is - it stopped weeping! While it’s certainly helpful to be getting balanced amount of sunshine & moisture naturally, I’m afraid this (hot & cold therapy) STILL doesn’t leaves me with any new insight & inspirations.
