The items selling in this shop are Not for us! Chai Leng Park, Butterworth - Penang.

I accidentally discovered this shop during the Qing Ming Festival at Chai Leng Park, Butterworth. Too bad, forgot to take down the shop name...only remember the street name as 'Lebuh Kurau 3'.

It attracted me to stop our car and got down to snap some photos! Because whatever it sell from here are NOT for us! It is for the peoples who pass away!! Yes, "Spirits" exactly!
The shop at Chai Leng Park

Look carefully each item in the photo, most of them made by paper! Haha! It's meant for Chinese praying ceremony.

This is the local culture, they believe 'burn' all these items (during the praying session) to their Love one or relatives who passed away, the 'other side' will receive and they will be Bless. (yeah, I mean from 'Hell') Do you think so? You tell me...

Paper made Heineken Beer

LV Ladies bag

The culture existed since I was a kid. But I never expect you can burn the 'Heineken Beer' and even the 'LV' ladies handbag now! Wah! That must be A drunkard or A person who Loves LV very much before!

I'm really admire their Innovative mindset of business. What do you think?! :)

Beautiful dress for women, but not for us!

I just cannot imagine that...if someone walk in and said : "Boss, why you sell fake or imitation LV bags here??" or maybe someone who drunk and walk in at night : "Boss, give me 6 cans of Heineken!!" That might bring them a tour to Hell for free! Haha!

Zi Wei Yuan Steamboat Restaurant at Butterworth, Penang.

Zi Wei Yuan Steamboat Restaurant (N5 26.334 E100 23.200) is located along Jalan Raja Uda of Butterworth. The shop is opposite the Appollo Hawker Center of Jalan Raja Uda. I believe this restaurant is started business not too long ago, it's quite new...

We were having our dinner here on the Qing Ming trip back to Penang.

The restaurant serve two type of steamboat (included the fish), 'Fried Fish Steamboat' and 'Grouper Fish Steamboat'. We took the Grouper Fish Steamboat...

I was surprised when I look into the milky soup! And we Love the tasty soup Very Much!!

Only about 3 minutes, our table was filled with seafood dishes. But still have to wait for about 5 minutes to let the soup heat up...(that's the advantage of having steamboat! Haha!)

Cutterfish

Scallops

Big prawns

Squids (Sotong)

Pork ball

Beside the dishes above, there were some pork intestines, vegetables and noodles too...and the special chili sauce was great!

The homemade chili sauce

I  like the DIY small fan power by Rechargeable Battery that continuously blow from the bottom...it last till we finish everything on the table.

Once we started to taste the delicious seafood steamboat, we cannot stop until everything finish! :)


We were satisfied with the foods especially the 'Soup'! It was bit sweet and spicy, this was the first time I ever taste such a nice soup!

The Damage - MYR145.00 for 4 adults and 1 child (Included A jug of Chinese Herbal Tea). Reasonable price and we will be back again on our next Penang trip!
