nice weekend

Had a great time last week...went to Hard Rock Hotel, Batu Feringgi to listen to Strollers 2 belting out hits from the 60s and 70s. It was like taking a stroll down memory lane...more so with this band cos the drummer, Hussein is the original member from The Strollers who were very popular in the 60s and 70s. How could I forget their hits like "Do what you gotta do", "Silly Joke", "Midday Sun" and "Just As I Am"? Anyway before we went to the hotel we dropped in at Guan Guan Cafe located just after the Parkroyal Hotel for an early dinner. Food was okay except this time it was a bit too salty for some of us. But most of the time the food is nice. You can check out...its inchi kabin (fried chicken marinated with a certain spice), garlic fried squids, prawn omelette, sambal fried kangkong and its spring roll (my favourite).

The same weekend also attended the opening ceremony of Galeri Seni Mutiara (2nd gallery) at the invitation of our artist friend, Mr Koay Soo Kau. The gallery is located at Lot No.2 & 4, First Floor, The Whiteaways Arcade, Lebuh Pantai, Penang. Below the gallery is OldTown White Coffee. It was nice catching up with an old friend. Check out the gallery if you happen to be in that area which is slowly being 'refurbished' to bring back its past glory.
