The writings/articles/scribbles are my collection of what is stumbled or read somewhere on the net (I try to give credit where it is due). Most of the time I forgot where I read something, hopefully this will compile all those in one site and along the way we hope not to compromise or infringe any law.

Hameediyah Restaurant, Penang
We had dinner again at Hameediyah Restaurant, Campbell Street, Penang this time with my little family and dad in law. Hameediyah sports a narrow, long design with an upper floor accessible through a steep spiral stairs. If you're a historian, you'll like this place. It has a sort of pre war historical look. It was quite late, nearly 9:45pm and the kari kepala ikan is no more on the counter. Surprise, surprise they want to make special kari kepala ikan sengain for me with I requested "sikit udang la, kecil cukup", and 15 minutes later there came one big bowl of kepala ikan with a few big prawns.... (mampus sure cekik harga). Hameediyah is synonymous with good traditional Indian Muslim food in Penang. Mention its name and all Penangites will know it. Established in the early 1900s, it is one of the island's oldest restaurants. Today, it is run by Ghani Abdul Shukor and his three brothers Ahmad, Ibrahim and Hamid.
