Kedai Kopi Sin Hwa (CKT) @ opposite Pulau Tikus police station

Do not confuse Sin Hwa with Sin Wah,the ckt sellers are related,but just like singers,some can sing and some shouldn't.
People listen to Mariah Carey,not Mariah Kachooi.
Nowadays both Sins belong to the Shouldn't category.
Therefore I'm gonna make up a story in this CKT's honour(I've already made a dedication to Sin Wah in an earlier post)

Once upon a time,on a Rodent Island within Penang island,stood a kopitiam that didn't attract any tourists.
These baa-baa-blind-sheep tourists,all flocked to the left and they all flocked to the right but most Penangites all kept this one hush-hush cos they wanna eat and sweat it out oh so peacefully.

However this kopitiam was like a no frills cave pressure cooker with no ventilation,that customers would find extremely suffocating(remember the useless rickety fan?) yet willing to risk brain damage caused by lack of oxygen flow.
Yea for some kiamsap reason,some Penang kopitiams are this bad.

All was forgiven because it had a Veteran Princess Leia,Defender of The Great CKT in our Penang universe.
Boy could she cook.Sotong conceeded to her,it was so springy yet unforgettably delish.Duck eggs swirled their way around the noodles taking our tastebuds on a 'trip' out of this galaxy.
Everything tasted good,no tourists char siau us and we lived happily ever after.

Then one day she adopted a partime Four Eyed Luke Skywalker aka fulltime human grasshopper,to assist her since her earlier indian nga helper finally succumbed to the scourge of oxygen deficiency.
Eventually,he took on the reins fulltime cos Miss Permed Hair Veteran wanna retire from this ardous intergalactic patrol duty.
Actually I think she gave up cos she so fed up day in day out seeing him Rocking the Ladle.
He held his ladle like he were duelling a Humungosaur with a Light Saber.

Four Eyed Luke Skywalker was afraid of 3 things.
The Wok,The Fire,The Heat.
Customers were not amused to see him panicking like he was about to scream for help while holding the wok like it was a comet on fire.
Business eventually was reduced to a whimper.

It was about this time that this place began to get coverage by some famous bloggers.Bloggers that are NOT Penangites.
Obviously,cos the place now Borhochiak,their Penang 'friends' decided it was safe to let them 'know' about this 'secret eating place'.
Business did thrive albeit the Alienized locals.
The blogosphere helped transform the Hopeless Cookey into a Profit Alley
It thrived so well,that they successfully conquered and took over a next door premise.

Someone eventually fired Skywalker.
Maybe Simon Cowell had an Alien Idol try out and Lukey got ambitious and auditioned.
Or maybe Veteran Princess Leia dropped in for a spot check.
Anyhow,if you miss him,you can find him at night assisting Sin Wah CKT Galactic Warship drop off point,still flashing his creepy 4 eyed grasshopper trompah clanking grin at all and sundry.

Currently they have a Lee Chong Wei lookalike smashing the wok.
Wow first in Penang.
BAD-MINtak-TOloNg mutilated CKT.
Where you get Shuttlecockles and other ingredients whose combination is Out..
He stares at the wok so hard cos he hopes to give it an extra injection of Lasik surgery wok hei.
The stare is so intense you are afraid if his eyes will pop out.
That time you get telur mata lembu CKT special.

I know that underneath that SKII fair skin lies a Darth Vader disciple in disguise.
Why label him that?
Cos after you eat the CKT,you wanna wear a Darth mask so you won't have to eat here again.
Also, the CKT is so bad,so tasteless,so paper,so putui,so bungkui,
you will defintely talk and breathe like Darth Vader after this kissmyasstronomical experience.
