Bukit Mertajam@Feminine Mag

My little hometown of Bukit Mertajam was featured in the September edition of local variety mag Feminine (风采).

For those of you in the dark, Bukit Mertajam is a bustling little town on the mainland side of Penang. BM (as it's usually called) actually denotes the entire district as well as the town itself. The town proper itself is a small packed area of shoplots and some shopping complexes, more or less the size of Teluk Intan. Small but nevertheless busy, its a center of commerce, a little simple shopping, and most of all, food. In fact, food is the favorite pastime for most of the BM population. You can do all you like, but you can't live a day in BM without food (it's a boring life here, hehe).

Good feng-shui, both for the living and the deceased.

Heh, i didn't know Chong Wei is a BM kid.

Of course, there's the hawker food.

By the way, i strongly believe the Penang hawker food quality (taste) is in the decline, especially in the island part. BM remains one of the last frontiers of good food in Penang. Trust me, its all about the food.

no-fark!
