Penang June 2007 - Scenes from around the place
The aquariums in Bali Hai restaurant on Gurney Drive - if it swims and you feel like eating it, chances are that you will find it here.
A road-side stall selling one of Penang’s signature dishes: orchien, or oyster omelette. Also sold in places with Hokkien Chinese presence such as Singapore and Taiwan. See the wiki link above. Prices displayed here are RM5, RM6 and RM8 for different sizes - one place I went to which was famous for this charged double those prices.
A road-side bootleg DVD stall - buying bootleg DVDs is an activity that can be enjoyed by all in the family. Unless you think the following is bad …
Bootleg porn - DVDs displayed as openly and as naked as the ladies on the covers. That sure is a lot of porn.

They never had bootlegged porn DVD’s when I lived in Penang. [Come to think of it, they hadn't evne invented the Video Cassette ... that explains it!!!]

It looked like a big tourist trap, even saw a taxi driver got paid by the restaurant manager. But the food was good yeah.
