Penang Gala
Dinner
  It was our turn to pick Melian and
Ian up and head in to the dinghy dock. We waited for the usual Hop On Hop Off
that had been organised to drop us at an Indian restaurant not too far away. We
settled behind Mark and Helen who looked so cute deep
in conversation. A lovely little chap a few seats
away posed like a professional model.
  Audible sighs and Ooooo’s as ladies
noticed ‘a certain sign’ just as we entered the dual carriageway.
  As we passed ‘the
sign’ on the front aspect of the massive mall those who hadn't Oooo’d
before now did. All around us we saw new build
projects.
  The height of the
tower blocks is staggering with more being
built. What did confuse us was passing a big swimming pool building with
a sign that read: Pinang Swimming Pool, the Best in Penang. Had to ask a local
about this, apparently Pinang is Malay, Penang is European and two can easily be
interchanged......
  on entering the restaurant we were
treated to a sari tying exhibition and henna painting. I
settled with a steady lady, Sandy, opposite
had a lady who moved like lightning – a weeks worth of temporary embellishment
for two quid.
  The other lady had completed three
patterns by the time mine could be ‘showed off’.
   What was fantastic at the Indian buffet was knowing the dishes and trusting that
a korma would be mild, unlike the Indonesians who promised “no not hot spicy”
and promptly watching your face burst into flames.... This is a very popular
restaurant that is proud to cater for Multi-Racial needs. We all had a great laugh and a wonderful evening.
  Back to the Royal Selangkor Mall,
through which we nip to get to the marina dinghy dock. Christmas is coming.
ALL IN ALL A VERY TASTY
EVENING
GORGEOUS
