Candy Floss


The girls love to eat candy floss. In the old days, we had an indian man who comes around the estate in the tricycle and churns out the candy floss machine using the generator. It was fun to watch. Using a stick, he collects the webs of the candy and made them into a large enormous ball like a big cloud. These days, we still have them but not as much. Most of our candy floss now come ready packed in bags tied up for purchase.

The pasar malam has lots of these, probabaly the reason why my girls are so happy going there. They get to buy popcorn and all the crackers available among the stalls. Other than stalls mostly catered to kids' goodies, you also get to buy lots of finger foods mostly in skewers. What is the pasar malam like in Penang now?
