Now Coca-cola was originally marketed as a brain tonic when first developed. I’m surprised Tiger beer has not had the same marketing budget. Since drinking Tiger beer the ideas have been coming to me with great clarity. The latest theory I’ve been working on is the tropical heat / beer rehydration equation. At the moment the theory goes that every hour spent in the sun before noon and every half hour after noon requires 1.5 mugs of beer to rehydrate. This total is reduced accordingly by the volume of water you drink during the day, your star sign, and what colour pants you’re wearing that day. Anyway…it’s a complex equation and gets harder to calculate as you have each beer whilst endeavouring to reach the rehydration equilibrium. I mis-calculated badly the other night. Let this be a lesson to all. Beer and maths do not mix.
So for this post I have no food to review but wanted to share photos on what looks like a great seafood restaurant in Penang. It has the tag line on its sign 'If it swims we have it'. Wonderful. I love places like this. The fish looks pretty fresh to me. There also seem to be one or two items you won't find down your local chippy. It must have been good as there was a big coach party inside. Unfortunately, these places are best in a big group where you can purchase a variety of different seafood and sample the lot.....so if anyone wants to join me tomorrow night in Penang let me know. There were some mighty big fish in this place - I don't think I could alone make a dent in the one in the last photo.

Great to hear you had Tiger Beer. My family reunion will be in Penang so interested to see types of food you're having. We were in S'pore 2 yrs. ago where my mother was born. She's a FANTASTIC cook. I learned to cook from her and now I teach other people. Made us appreciate homestyle cooking vs restaurant.
I lived in UK for 17 years prior to States and miss the Brits' sarcasm and dry humor.
Eleanor - many thanks for your comments. I suspect living in the UK for 17 years would also be a major factor in appreciating homestyle cooking....although things are getting better nowadays. (It's much easier to find a Chinese supermarket in London now).
Enjoy Penang and your family reunion and try not to drink too much Tiger beer whilst out there.
