后巷增壁畫,“坐盼兒返”寓意十足!
位于麻市二馬路與三馬路之間后巷(哈芝亞務路),出現一幅壁畫,有關作品是于週二半夜時分完成;據了解,作者是位華裔青年,大約用了4至5個小時的時間來完成該壁畫。
壁畫面積約8尺長乘8尺寬,畫中有位老人坐在板凳上,雖有2名孫子陪同,但卻眉宇深鎖,滿懷心事;至于2名陪伴在老人身旁的孫子年幼無知,無法體會老人的思慮,盡情地圍繞在老人身旁相互嬉戲。
此外,壁畫上也有群雁在飛翔,大雁浩浩蕩蕩地往遠方飛去,它們揮動著有力的翅膀,高高地揚起頭顱,似乎在追向夢想的懷抱。

參與創作壁畫的是一群本地藝術愛好者,即魏安寧、何佳柔、蘇凱達、張以靜、張美君、陳麗雯及馮彩玲共同構思而完成的。

「万家团源」壁画策划人郑秋雄(32岁)指出,「万家团源」
壁画的呈现,主要是为了將讯息带给民眾,表达回家过年的真正意义。

他表示,现在的人对回家过年完全没概念,以为只是吃顿团年饭就行了,只是为了过年而过年。

「如果回家过年只是吃团年饭,却没有跟父母交流及沟通,只能成为一种形式。」

除此之外,郑秋雄表示,这幅壁画鼓励大眾参与製作,从中体会背后的意义。

踏上实践梦想的梯阶,我们已经做好面对各种挑战的心理准备。然而,问题接踵而来的时候,依然会感到灰心失望和无力。幸运的是,在不同阶段时总会有以不一样形态出现的贵人帮我们渡过难关。从中我们也学习了也成长了,从不同的角度看问题时,有了不一样的诠释。--岁寒,然后知松柏之后凋也--没有严峻的考验,又怎么会知道自己可以多强大?!

JJ Nasi Lemak @ Jalan Junid

Muarkaki 们今天起了个大早就为了吃这一个只有在“七早八早”才有的早餐-Nasi Lemak (翻译:椰浆饭). 如果你有留心读我们其他的blog的话,其说我们也曾经到访过这一家档子,只是我们当时只是被拽拽地回应“Dah habis” (翻译:卖完了)。
Muarkaki woke up early in the morning again just to have this breakfast – Nasi Lemak. The reason why we woke up so early is because this Nasi Lemak is only sold at a very specific hours. If you actually read through our previous blog posts, we did mention about this particular stall before but that time we weren’t able to try it because we were trying to enter, the mak cik inside the stall just shouted “Dah habis”. Oh well.
这间JJ Nasi Lemak 说它只有在七早八早才有可真的一点都不为过。它的营业时间就从七点开始至卖完为止。而据了解,它多数是在830左右就卖完了,最迟可能也是到九点,但没人可以保证你九点来的时候是还可以买到这nasi lemak的。
This JJ Nasi lemak opens from 7am till when-the-food-is-finished. In other words, it doesn’t really a finishing time to be exact. It will normally close around 830 if not mistaken, and the latest would just be 9am. No one could guarantee you that you still can get a pack of Nasi Lemak from here if you decided to come at 9am.
这家JJ Nasi Lemak 是位于观海阁斜对面。它可以算是在一间住家里。如果你是从泰国白蒸鱼那里驶来的话,你会看到这家JJ Nasi Lemak在你的左手边。
This JJ Nasi Lemak is located opposite the Pangsapuri Pemandang Tanjung. You can find this stall in a residential house. If you are driving from Thai Sea Food Restaurant (aka Lompo) direction, you could easily spot this stall on your left.
它到底有什么好吃呢?
What’s so special about it?
Nasi Lemak + Fried Chicken = RM4.50 + 1 Hard boiled egg (RM0.60)
我们都点了一样的Nasi Lemak 搭配水煮蛋(我们比较喜欢煎蛋,但卖完了!) 加一块炸鸡。这真的是一顿丰盛的早餐!我个人是觉得这椰浆饭有着浓浓的椰浆味,或许你会认为椰浆饭是一定有椰浆味,但这家的椰浆味真的很够,单单把饭放进口里时,你就能感受到由饭所散发的那股椰浆味。但就辣椒而言呢,我觉得它不够辣。或许是我吃辣的程度有点高,所以这家的Sambal (辣椒) 真的在我的记忆力没留下任何记忆点。可能就因为这样,所以我才特别记住了饭的味道。有时候当Sambal的味道太浓太辣的时候,它是会掩盖了椰浆饭里的独特味道。
Both of us ordered the exact same kind of Nasi Lemak – Nasi Lemak with hard-boiled egg (We preferred fried egg, but it just sold off!) and a fried chicken. What a filling breakfast it is. I personally think that this Nasi Lemak has a very strong “santan” taste, and you might wonder isn’t all Nasi Lemak has santan in it, so what’s so unique about it. But somehow I think the Nasi Lemak in this stall really comes with a strong “santan” fragrant, and even by just putting a spoon of rice into your mouth, you could actually taste how “santan” tasted like. On the other way round, I think the sambal was just not spicy to me. Well maybe my tolerance towards chilli is really high, this sambal was just not spicy enough to satisfy my taste bud. When the sambal has strong taste and way too spicy right, it will eventually cover up the simple “santan” taste in the Nasi Lemak. It just nice to balance up I think.
炸鸡呢,非常马来式的炸鸡。和我们一般吃到的用炸鸡粉高温油炸的不一样。马来式的炸鸡里有着浓浓的黄姜味,且呈暗黄色。腌过黄姜和其它调料的炸鸡,经过油炸后,档主也在呈上鸡肉前,将鸡肉先拍打(penyet),再切块,确保鸡肉咬起来更酥软。
This fried chicken just adopts a very typical Malay style frying method and it totally different from the one that we had in Chinese Restaurant. There’s a strong turmeric taste and the fried chicken had dark yellow colour as per shown in the picture. The chef had also did a small trick on the chicken which had a small cut between the skin and the meet so that the oil can actually flow in and make the skin more crispy and yummy. Me kinda like it.

这里除了有Nasi Lemak之外,我们也看到了炒米粉。不晓得好不好吃,但确实看到很多人打包。就连当我们的食物上桌后,店家也顺道问说我们有没有要打包外带,好像是想提醒我们说,要打包请快,之后才点太慢了。也没错,我们就这样吃到8:30分时,店家也开始打扫,准备收铺。
We also saw another food options at this stall besides Nasi Lemak, which is Fried Meehun. We weren’t sure about its taste but there were really a lot of people dabao back. Even the server also double-checked with us whether we want to dabao or not when she served us our food. It sort of like hinting us that if you wanna dabao, please act fast. Never blame us of not reminding you if you gonna dabao later on. That’s actually true. All staffs were actually packing up to close the stall at around 830am. Early…..
Teh Tarik RM1.20
哦对了,我们点了Teh Tarik kurang manis(翻译:拉茶少甜)。我觉得真的太不甜了。所以如果你是和我一样比较喜欢甜点的Teh Tarik 的话,记得别喊Kurang Manis!
Oh ya, we ordered Teh Tarik kurang manis but for me, it was just not sweet at all. Isn’t it just be sweet then only yummy? So if you have the similar taste with me, please do not pandai pandai add “kurang manis” when you order Teh Tarik.
总的来说,如果你起得早,刚在Tanjung散完步,你可以驶过来这里打包。但如果是特地要早起的话,我想我会选择补眠啦,因为它的营业时间真的太早太短啦!

In conclusion, if you wake up early and just done jogging at Tanjung, then you can actually take this Nasi Lemak as one of your breakfast options and drive here to dabao. Else, if my sleeping time has to be sacrificed just to have this breakfast, then I rather sleep and not eating this because this working hour is really early & short. I need more sleep!
