Some days you lose all self-control in Penang. You walk from shop to shop, hawker stall to hawker stall, eating long after your hunger has subsided. Then you're full, you can't eat anymore. But there you are at the corner shop, eating again.
It's not your fault.
It's not.
The blame falls entirely on these street chefs. They lure you in like Sirens, playing music with metal spatulas on woks. They trick you, transforming clouds of steam into smoke signals. And the aromas...you smell garlic and chili and soy sauce and sesame seed oil, and you shut your eyes and run towards it with your mouth open.
It's not fair. You can't win.
It's probably best you don't come to Penang. If you must, then pack an extra pair of pants that are too big for you.
Because they will find you.
