Marmalade Night i mentioned this before i came back but we never got down to visiting marmalade pantry until tonight. the food's glorious! glorious i say! pure bliss. you havent had sticky date pudding until you've tried theirs. *floats away* i'm still suffering from the (burp)ohnoicanstilltastethefoodandiwantmore syndrome. (bonus: marmalade pantry stickers courtesy of a kind waiter. read sin's account!) a proustian moment indeed. in years to come, we'll remember everything about this night with every bite of stickydatepudding/crabmeatlinguini. and we should remember this night because the queendom has something up it's sleeve (hurhur no pun intended). watch out. ;) p/s: Happy Chap Goh Meh! it's been (slightly more than) a year since this blog entry: Angie saw this article online.....so danny n chad werent kidding abt the orange throwing thing eh? hahahaa how apt gie how apt ;) Orange aid ROMANCE -- of the orange-throwing kind -- is alive in Penang. Though this tradition is dying out in Malaysia, Georgetown in Penang still celebrates Chap Goh Meh annually. This year, it is on Feb 5.According to folklore, it was on this 15th and last day of the Chinese New Year that unmarried Chinese girls threw oranges into the sea or river, in the hope of snaring good husbands.In ancient times, young girls were not allowed to go out except on Chap Goh Meh when they were permitted to visit temples with their maids.It was then that young men could catch glimpses of these maidens. Hence, the day is regarded as Valentine's Day for the Chinese.In Penang, at the Esplanade or waterfront promenade next to Fort Cornwallis, you can catch lion dance and cultural performances on that day.
