Red Garden @ Lebuh Leith (after 9.30pm)

update: I forgot to add that this paranormal activity happens mostly on Monday to Tuesday.Other times you can watch weird performances like Penang's plumpest hippo getai style singer doing aerobic workout (cos that's the only way she know how to dance), 60something skinny Aunty Barbie singer in miniskirt and fishnets gyrating like she's Rose Chan and other weird acts that you need to be drunk to enjoy.Also the bah kut teh smells better than it tastes cos the pork is NOT fresh and the Fish Head dish is one of the most cut throat on the island .

If you are a pensioner or above 50 or someone that used to go 'wild' in bomchacha cabaret nightclubs like during or before the 50s era you will love this place.
If you are living with your grandparents and they go MIA after 9pm this is where you can find them temporarily and miraculously cured of their arthritis.
After 9.30pm,pockets of retired Penangites with itchy feet that are raring to hit the tiny dance floor amongst potted plants in front of the stage dressed in their most 'outrageous' outfits(in some countries some people call this behaviour eccentric) congregate in front of the stage area with wicked twinkling eyes.Sometimes if you are lucky you could spot a chinese Joan Jett dancing with a Blonde Haired chinese Colonel Sanders.
It is as if this was what they were waiting for all their lives.To feel the warm glow of the hot spotlight on their wrinkly epidermis,just waiting for the chance to break out of their old crab shells and don new skins for the night.They dance and they twirl like male and female cinderellas as if they were in a vienna ballroom while dressed in fashion picked off from chowrasta market oblivious to the giggles and stares of diners.

At this point if you are below 50 years old you will probably unintentionally burn all the meats on your thai charcoal grill if you ordered that,feel your eyes pop out of your sockets because you just cannot believe the guts of these old hags and bags out for a good time at the expense of the younger innocent undancing ones.
Or you would loose your appetite or giggle until you fall off your chair or gobble so fast,burning your throat just to get out of here quick.
Pick one.

The electrifying organist on stage drives you bonkers with music that blind men play on the streets to get donations from the public.This kind of music makes me wanna grind my teeth and clutch my fork in anticipation of cold blooded murder,it also has the capability to turn teenagers moody and tweens nuts.
After 9.30pm THIS is the mad hatters teehee party of georgetown.
What's the best thing to do at this kind of teehee party?
Just drink(LOTS) don't dine or you'll probably choke.
