Dad told me at the very last minute, the night before he left in fact, that he was leaving for Penang. Argh!! He should have told me earlier... I could have tompang him to do me a favour. Well, anyway, before he got off the line, I told him to get me some tau sar piah. :) This will have to do, even though I was looking forward to the super fresh ones which come in a box. Beggars can't be choosers. He also got a box of preserved lime. Yum! I have not seen these in years, and it brings me back to my childhood when we used to go up to Petaling Jaya during the school holidays. I remember we even drove up to Cameron Highlands and I so hated those rides when I would feel so sick and he often had to stop by the roadside I also remember those trips to other parts of Malaysia to visit relatives, or have fun at the Kota Tinggi waterfall. Wow, that was indeed a lonnnnggg time ago. Memories...

The fresh one in a box from Penang is really good. Next time when I go back, must make a trip to Penang!

this one wrapped with paper is the authentic one, very difficult to get these days, hahah...
the one that comes in a box, you mean those bite-size type isit?
Hey, you must be around my age bcos' we had so many similar childhood memories !! I love the preserved lime & this type must be moist enough, I remembered opening the box to check the lime before buying & I could eat the whole packet at one go !
Yes yes I remember those trips to Cameron highlands & KL although much of the details have evaporated from my memory..it was a long time ago & life was so much simpler then :D & I didn't have to worry about tax returns!
rita - Haha, you should buy more.
lcom - Me too. I wanna go visit Penang again. :)
karlsfoodie - Hehe. ;)
hk choo - Huh, how come difficult? Cos everyone likes the bite-sized ones? I don't know where my dad got them but I think his friends pre-ordered.
ganache-ganache - Hahaha, I'm not as young as we but we belong to the same generation. Oh, the lime is very moist... speaking of which I must go and have some right now, and no, I didn't finish them all at once, but you can do cos there really is very little in a box.
shazz - Haha, do you remember the throwing up bit? ;) Indeed, life was much simpler then.
