Earlier this year, we made a trip back in history to visit my ancestors – what history we have and what a great big family this is. 6 women, my grand-father had, and 2 brothers with their own respective generations. Can you imagine the amount of people that spreads out in our little family tree? Honestly, I don’t even know half of them. I mean, I see them and everything but I don’t know them. And they don’t know me.
The problem with XL families is that nobody wants to make the decisions and in that, money squanders away quickly. Especially with unscrupulous and greedy family members. Or their spouses! Hoohoohoo……
Again, my brother was summoned, being the eldest grandson, and again, he declined to get involved. He did offer some useful suggestions though. Let’s hope they listen or it’ll be little town dynasty – the mini series of Teluk Intan, coming soon.
Us? We just don’t care what happens.
T1 leaning in front of the leaning tower of Teluk Intan. We told her that we’d take her to the leaning tower of Pisa one day but for now, she’d have to preview the physics of leaning towers locally.
One of the must buy things in Teluk Intan is the heong peah and tau sar peah, both of which I love so much, and have great memories of whenever we visited TI in our childhood. Nowadays though, everything is so commercialised and packaged in bulk, it somehow doesn’t feel the same. Nor does it taste the same. I wonder why.

The stretch of shop lots that our family owned. All sold now. There is only oil palm and rubber left and some land but by the time things get going, everything will be gone.

Look at my little T2??? Does she look like a Teluk Intan baby, or a Kota Bharu baby or a Taiping baby? Or a KL city baby!?!
Actually, the purpose of this post is…..I am totally stoned. It’s 815pm and the kids are in their bedrooms. NOT sleeping, just making NOISE. I’m spaced out already……and writing rubbish, as usual.

I think it’s because all these peah are no longer made with lard like the old days. Sure the taste and texture will be different.
Teluk Intan also has this really nice chee cheong fun. Different from the Penang and HK style but really nice in its own way.
