Naza Cafe @ C Gate

Faraway view of the Penang Bridge with nice constant sea breeze.Good
Stray cats all over the place.Roll eyes.
Less than desirable hygiene level.Nothing new.
Felda settlement karaoke stage by the seaside.SAY WHAT?

Yea.Really.You the customers are the entertainers here.
They lure you with the glam position of being entertainer for the night as well as the bait of possibly being talent spotted by Evergreen Bukit Jambul studio .Sheesh.

Many many years ago,this place was packed with diners and lovebirds.Today it looks like it is dying a slow death,maybe cos its the middle of the month and many factory songbirds are already pokai or there is a serious dearth of talent on our island.

Food isn't very good,satay portion huge for 70 sen a stick.Drinks bearable.A heck of a lot of items on the menu are not available.Real bummer.

I suppose if you come on a weekend,things will be livelier.
And you may listen to wannabe rockers belt out mournful malay love songs like a Japanese wailer.Or show them how it's done.

Either way,one either ends up hating this or loving it.
As for myself,I had a fit of giggles,snickering at the DJ and his shisha smoking groupie have great fun turning from regular wallflowers hiding behind the lowered semi mask of baseball caps emboldened by their friends audacity to croak out of tune.

This is the real deal.
Penang Idol on show almost every night except on days they are closed.
Then only does peace descend on this side of the Pearl of the Orient and the fishes from the sea float back on the right side again and come out of hiding.
