Went to Chennai for the weekend…we hired a jeep to take us there on Friday night... the driver turns out to nt noe the way to Chennai…getting there wasn’t tat hard cos there were road signs along the road…took us 11 hrs n a half to get there…bt when we got there…sigh…he din noe the way to any hotel…so we simply grab a hotel that we c along the way which turns out to b pretty alright n strategic too…hw lucky! After a long, hot n sweaty journey, obviously we nid to refresh ourselves before heading out for lunch…
I am so excited cos we r heading to PELITA for lunch…Yes, PELITA from Malaysia…Nasi kandar after 3mths ^^…the worse thing about tis was, it took us 2-3hrs searching for that place cos our driver didn’t noe the freaking way and majority of the ppl in Chennai dun speak English or they’re too ignorance to even noe the places around Chennai…boy was I lucky when I met a tour guide who happens to noe where PELITA is…to avoid fr getting more lost, we gt off our jeep n hop into one of the local rickshaw n head to Old Nagesh Theatre...when we got there…Pelita is jz sittin next to Nagesh Theatre…u should’ve seen the joy n happiness on Nunu n my face…we were shriekin excitedly ^^…even the rickshaw driver laughed at us..we ordered so much food…sirap limau, air bandung, 100plus, Maggie goring, roti planta, roti pisang, satay ayam , satay kambing and sup ayam.
The meal was so so so damn good…End of lunch n time for haggling…stuff are so cheap…din really wanna shop bt we did it anyway jz for the fun of haggling…we bought hairpins, nangka, towel, laundry basket, luggage, …arghh too much I cant remember all of them…about the nangka…Denny, Denny, Denny…he gt the nangka guy all confused…it’s supposed to b 10rupees for 6 biji of nangkas…so Denny said “aite I’ll give u 6 rupees for 4nangka” ..then the nangka guy said ok..then Denny said “wat bout 5 for 6 rupees?” then the guy said ok n then after a bunch of confusing conversation we got 6 nangkas for 5 rupees…poor nangka guy n lucky us ^^
Ne way after shoppin we head back to our hotel to shower n head back out for dinner innnnnn…ONCE againnnnnnnnnn PELITA ^^…tis time it’s Nasi Kandar time…beryani, ayam masak kicap, sup kambing, satay, nasi goreng campur, roti pisang, n so much more ^^…
We ate too much n too long til we missed out on the nite bazaar…went back to sleep n head back to Mysore the next day…so u c all we did was travel 11 hrs to eat Pelita…back in Subang, Pelita is oni 2minutes away fr my house…well wat can I say, I’m too crazee n I miss nasi kandar too much ^^
There u go, Jimmy…finally a new blog entry from me…pictures will b uploaded later
hmmm..... i must say, stroke of genius.
and what's with all the nangka shit? wasted a whole paragraph on NANGKA.
in the end.. i still dun understand. 6 nangkas for 5 rupees. wow, *-^'
anyway, nice to see that you're alive. and the pictures would've made it awesome.
well I guess you're right...most probably ignorance is the root cause >.<
