during raya hols, went for breakfast at my favourite tosai place at jones road, penang island, quite a hive of activity, wow,was thinking, business must be picking up. upon entering the place tho', didnt see my normal friendly uncle tosai, was wondering whether he sold the place to somebody else.
all the workers were different, no familiar faces. we were a bit sad, how come he did not even tell us of his worries, predicament...we were always there almost every holiday, the least he could do was to tell us his story, maybe we can help or do something about it. i grew up on that tosai, walking in the morning to get my breakfast or exercising at gurney drive first before 'singgah -ing' at one of my favourite breakfast place.
we asked the new uncle there what happened to our favourite uncle tosai- boy oh boy, he had a heart bypass- we were very surprised, there were no indications. but whatever it is uncle , if you or your sons/nieces/nephews/relatives reading this blog, we do hope very much you'll be on the road to recovery fast, the shop is not the same without you, uncle tosai; so please, people do want to see and hear about you, we do care , everyone cares very much, get well soon and please talk to us and tell us your stories. after all you're our favourite tosai guy!!!!
Yeah I know the place. But I think the current uncle makes better tosai and side dishes. Furthermore the place seems more livelier.
