ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaneʻane au i ʻike ʻole e pili ana iā Asia ma mua o koʻu huakaʻi. Ua ʻike mau ʻia nā ʻāina ʻĀsia he pohihihi a pohihihi paha iaʻu e hoʻāʻo e wehe iā lākou. Ma ka laulā, ʻaʻole ia i huki. ʻO ia ke kumu he mea kahaha loa iaʻu i ka hele ʻana i ka hoʻomaha i Malaysia, i ka mokupuni ʻo Penang - kahi kahi i hoʻokumu ʻia ai nā moʻomeheu ʻAsia. Ma mua oʻu, a ma mua o nā mea ʻai meaʻai ʻē aʻe, ua ala ka nīnau no hea a pehea e ʻai ai i kēia huakaʻi. Mai ke kihi o koʻu pepeiao, lohe au ua kapa ʻia ʻo Penang he paradaiso gastronomic, a ua manaʻo ʻia kā lākou meaʻai alanui ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea maikaʻi loa o ka honua. Akā, aia kekahi wahi i loko o kēia paradaiso no kahi mea ʻai meaʻai? ʻO ia ka mea i hopohopo iaʻu.

No ka hoʻomaka ʻana, e hāʻawi wau ma lalo iho ʻike kūhelu.

Mokupuni ʻo Penang (Pina) aia ma ka ʻaoʻao komohana ʻākau o ka ʻāina nui o Malaysia, kahi i hoʻopili ʻia e kahi alahaka 13,5 km ka lōʻihi. No ka hele ʻana i ia wahi, pono ʻoe e huakaʻi i kekahi mau hola ma ke kaʻa mai ke kapikala o Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, a i ʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke holo i hoʻokahi hola ma ka mokulele. Pono wau e ʻōlelo koke ʻaʻole i mahalo nui ʻia ka mokupuni e nā mākaʻikaʻi, akā makehewa!

Ua noho au ma ke kūlanakauhale waena o Penang, ʻo George Town, nona ka hapa miliona o nā kānaka. I ka nānā mua ʻana, ʻaʻole i hauʻoli nui ʻo Georgetown iaʻu: nā ʻala ʻē, nā poʻe e moe pono ana ma ke alanui, kahi ʻūhā hāmama a puni ke kūlanakauhale - ʻaʻole kēia mau mea i hoʻoulu i ka manaʻo maikaʻi. Ua ola au i kahi ōlaʻi liʻiliʻi (akā, ua hiamoe au, ʻoiai i ka pō).

ʻO ka mokupuni ʻo Penang, ʻo ka mea mua, he wahi e hui pū ai i nā moʻomeheu he nui. ʻO nā Buddhist, Hindus, Muslims, Catholics, Japanese, Chinese, Pakistanis - ʻaʻole ma ʻaneʻi! Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaka i kāu huakaʻi mai kahi luakini Buddhist, a laila huli i kahi square me kahi mosque Muslim, a laila hāʻule ʻole i kahi luakini India. Me kēlā ʻano moʻomeheu like ʻole, noho like nā mea a pau a mahalo i ke koho ʻana o kēlā me kēia. No laila, ma hope o kekahi manawa, komo ʻoe i loko o ka lewa o ke aloha honua a "hoʻoheheʻe" mālie i loko, e like me kahi ʻāpana cheese.

I kēia manawa - ʻike pili i ke kumuhana o kā mākou ʻatikala.

1. Me he mea la ua kamahao au, hele au ma ka lalani o na hale kuai o ke alanui - he mea i hoolapalapaia, i hooheheeia, a palaiia, holoiia na ipu malaila, ma na kiaha ma ka papahele, a o na mea kuai iho i hookuku i ka mea i hoomaemaeia, oki koke ia. hoomaka e hoomakaukau. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻoiai kēia mau mea kilokilo, ua aneane hiki ʻole ke loaʻa ka meaʻai no ka mea ʻai meaʻai ma aneʻi.

2. Mai makaʻu ʻoe i ke ʻano o nā hale ʻaina liʻiliʻi i hoʻopuehu ʻia a puni ke kūlanakauhale. ʻAʻole manaʻo nui ka poʻe Malaysia i ke kaiapuni a me ka glitz ma waho. Ua lawa kekahi mau noho plastik, kahi papa ʻaina a me kahi kihi liʻiliʻi me kahi kapuahi - a ua mākaukau ka cafe. ʻOiai nā makaʻu a pau, ua lilo ka meaʻai ma aneʻi i mea ʻono loa, a ʻo ka mea hoʻonaninani, ʻokoʻa no ka nānā ʻEulopa, he mea hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomanawanui. ʻO ka meaʻai kaulana loa o ka ʻāina ʻo ia nā udon like ʻole - kahi kīʻaha me nā noodles a me nā hoʻopiha like ʻole. Hiki ke kauoha ʻia ʻo Udons ma ke ʻano he papa ʻelua, a i ʻole he sopa - kahi ʻano hui o nā papa mua a me nā papa ʻelua, a i ka manawa like me ka ʻoluʻolu. Eia naʻe, e nīnau pono i ka hupa i hoʻohana ʻia no ka hana ʻana i ka udon, inā ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻāʻo i ka ʻiʻo a i ʻole ka iʻa.

3. E hoʻomanaʻo i kaʻu i ʻōlelo ai e pili ana i ka hui ʻana i nā moʻomeheu? No laila, aia ma Georgetown kahi hapahā India, i kapa ʻia ʻo "Little India". ʻO ka hiki ʻana i laila, paʻakikī loa ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ka ʻāina nui āu e noho nei, no ka mea, ua hoʻolilo nā ʻĀina kūloko i kēia wahi i kahi "lālā" liʻiliʻi o ko lākou mau wahi hānau. No nā mea ʻai meaʻai, he ākea maoli kēia! Ma Little India, aia kekahi mau hale ʻaina hui ʻia, kahi, pono wau e ʻōlelo, ʻaʻole i loaʻa iaʻu kahi mea noʻu iho i ka manawa mua, a me nā wahi meaʻai wale nō. Ua kuhikuhi mai nā kamaʻāina iaʻu i kekahi o lākou - "WOODLANDS", mai kahi aʻu i makemake ʻole ai e haʻalele. Maʻemaʻe a maʻemaʻe ka wahi, ʻono ka meaʻai, hoʻomākaukau ʻia e like me nā ʻano kuʻuna kuʻuna (akā hiki iā ʻoe ke noi mau i ka "ʻaʻohe mea ʻala"), aia nā ʻaina awakea pāʻoihana maikaʻi, akā i nā manawa maʻamau ke kumu kūʻai o ka ʻai nui i ka awelika. o 12 a 20 ringit (ma kahi o 150-300 rubles).

3. Wahi a Peng, e hana ana ma ka Buddhist Vegetarian Café No. 1 Cannon Street Galeri & Kafe”, ma Georgetown, ma kahi o 60% o ka heluna kanaka he mau mea kanu. ʻO ka hapa nui no nā kumu hoʻomana. ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā kumukūʻai ma ʻaneʻi, akā ua ʻike au i kēia hale ʻaina noʻu iho i koʻu ʻimi ʻana i kahi meaʻai maʻamau o ka home. Hāʻawi lākou i nā mea ʻono soy burgers, spaghetti me ka ʻuala mushroom, a me kahi ice cream vegan ʻokoʻa i hana ʻia mai nā kumulāʻau sesame ʻeleʻele - paipai wau i nā mea āpau.

4. Aia nō ma ka ʻāina ʻo Georgetown he nui nā hale ʻaina Kina a me Iapana kahiko o nā kūlana like ʻole. Inā makemake ʻoe e ʻike i ka ʻono kūloko, e ʻimi i nā hale ʻaina alanui Kina kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hoʻāʻo i ka nui o nā kīʻaha mai nā mea pani ʻiʻo like ʻole. Inā makemake ʻoe i kahi maluhia liʻiliʻi me ka ʻole o ka ʻono, e hele i kahi mall a i ʻole hale ʻaina nui. Pīhoihoi au i ka ʻike ʻana i kahi hale ʻaina Kepani ʻoluʻolu "Sakae sushi", aia ma kahi hale kūʻai nui "1st Avenue Mall". He hale ʻaina hui ʻia kēia, akā aia kekahi mau kīʻaha meaʻai meaʻai hoihoi, nā udons like, ʻono ʻono loa i ka tofu, a i ʻole, no ka laʻana, nā ʻōwili keu me ka mango a me ka kāpeti kimchi spicy. Pehea kou makemake i kēlā?

He aha hou aʻe ka pono e haʻi aku? O nā meaʻai maikaʻi loa āu e ʻike ai ma aneʻi.

ʻO ka hau hua, i hoʻomākaukau pono ʻia i mua ou i loko o nā minuke ʻelua. ʻO ka mea mua, ua hoʻokumu ʻia kahi hau hau nui, a laila hoʻomoʻi ʻia i loko o nā lole āu e koho ai. Ua koho au i ka ʻalani.

Nui nā hua hou. Ma ʻaneʻi hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i nā mango ʻono loa, nā pineapples, nā niu ʻōmaʻomaʻo a me nā huaʻai hou ʻē aʻe. No ka laʻana, ʻo ka durian kahi hua ʻaʻole i ʻae ʻia i loko o nā hōkele, ʻala e like me nā pūkuʻu lepo, akā i ka manawa like he ʻono kupua a kapa ʻia kekahi ʻo ke aliʻi.

Nui nā nati kūʻai ʻole. Ma ʻaneʻi au i aʻo mua ai he hiki ke ʻai wale ʻia nā pī maloʻo me nā hua goji a me nā hua like ʻole. Hiki ke kūʻai ʻia nā pīni ma nā hale kūʻai liʻiliʻi, me nā hui ʻē aʻe, kahi kūpono loa i ka wā hele lōʻihi.

· ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke ʻōlelo wale i kekahi mau huaʻōlelo e pili ana i ka inu kuʻuna kūloko – kofe keʻokeʻo, i hoʻolaha ʻia ma nā pepa hoʻolaha ma kahi kokoke i kēlā me kēia hale ʻaina alanui. ʻO ka mea ʻoiaʻiʻo, he inu kēia i hana ʻia mai nā pī kofe i kālua ʻia me ka hoʻohui ʻana o - ta-daaa - waiu condensed! Akā ʻo kekahi poʻe kālepa hoʻopunipuni e hoʻāla wale i kahi ʻeke kope 3-in-1 no ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi (ua hāʻule wau no kēia maunu i nā manawa he nui). ʻAʻohe mea maʻamau, akā no kekahi kumu haʻaheo loa lākou iā ia ma ʻaneʻi.

Hiki ke hana hoihoi a poina ʻole kēlā me kēia huakaʻi. Pono ʻoe e hoʻāʻo e hoʻomaʻamaʻa iā ʻoe iho, "manaʻo" i ke kaiapuni kūloko, a ʻaʻole naʻe e makaʻu i nā hoʻokolohua, ʻoiai inā honi kāu mau hua e like me nā socks lepo.
