Coconut King

There’s this place in Penang that I find darn fascinating, especially for me.

On Abu Siti Lane, is a row of old colonial residential houses.
These are actual residential homes that people lived in before. You can see the interior of the house clearly partitioned to show where the living room is, the dining room is, and so on. But instead of having humans inside, these houses are filled with coconuts.

ROOMS after ROOMS full of coconuts! Flowing down the staircase, into the living room, out on the verandah. Nothing but piles and piles of coconuts, everywhere.
Never have I seen so many coconuts gathered into one place before, apart from the men’s changing room at the gym.

In front of each of these houses is a man holding a parang knife guarding the place.
You order what type of coconut you want from the guy (choice between standard or pandan coconut). He’ll pick up a random coconut from the pile and armed with his parang, he’ll skilfully chop up the coconut right then and there.

Part of the fun is watching how he’s able to slice up such a small object with such a huge knife. One wrong move and he could very well end up with his hand on the floor.
Look at how he hold his coconut. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to try this at home. Or anywhere else for that matter.

When he’s done, the guy will poke a straw in it so you can drink the coconut juice from it just like that.
When you’re done, you hand the coconut back to him and he’ll chop it up some more so you can savour the meat of the coconut.

He can carve a makeshift spoon out of the coconut shell for your convenience!
When you’re done eating the inside of the coconut, you can do some stupid things with it. Like making it your coconut bra.

And then you pose.


And then you pose some more.


And then you pose like you’re making love to the camera.


And then some guy come around and molest you.

And apparently, I got a little bit too sexcited ‘cos when everything is said and done, I accidentally left a stain on my shirt.

Hmmm.


Kuching’s own singer songwriter Alex Wong (aka SingleTrackMind) (aka CEO of Pan Global Insurance) (aka founder of musiccanteen) (aka co-owner of Luna Bar and Muse Bar in KL) will be staging his album launch concert this Friday night, 11pm at Senso in Hilton Kuching. I’ll be there. Tickets are RM65, includes a copy of his CD and your first drink.

  12. A few yrs ago, there was a murder at one of the coconut stalls, the middle shop, not the one at the corner lot.
    I forgot the details of the murder but no point guessing tool used to slay the victimlah.

  13. OK. OK.
    This is weird! That guy you featured has the exact same name as..ME! what the heck. While he is aka SingleTrackMind and owner of LunaBar and CEO of PanGlobal, I have no aka, owner of an apartment and a car, and CEO of nothing.

    With regards to the coconuts…as long as the juice is good, I don’t care alredi, though you gotta hand in to them for their carving skills.

  16. Um.. Hey Kenny. I’ve been reading your blog since last year. And you can call me one of your blog fans lah.

    I admit, you are like so pro in blogging. But these days, you have not show me and some of my friends the best of kenny sia.
    That’s just my opinion. But you rock big time lah.

  20. Ha – I guess that’s the nearest I’ll ever get to you as I work just around the corner (well ok 2 corners technically). Glad to know that you enjoyed your trip to Penang – hope the drivers didn’t scare the cr@p out of you. You better get one of those pregnancy test kits. It looks like you might be lactating to me…

  23. You can get the stain from coconuts out if you soak it asap in a really storng concentration of Oxiclean powder and water. I put two scoops in a bowl of water that was just big enough of the shirt to be covered in. (I am not an Oxiclean representative.)

  24. Mini Siam, the miniature town, hosts facsimiles of several sacred places and important historical sites around Thailand. These miniatures are at the scale of 1 to 25. Located on the main highway of Pattaya, Mini Siam daily attracts busloads of tourists.
