Monday 9am.
Our breakfast. Mouth-watering Appam @60cent each. Kedai Kopi Swee Kong, Jalan Burmah (Opposite police station). Khoo Kongsi @Jalan Acheh. Adult RM5 with 2 free pieces of postcards. Clan kongsi is a chinese clan house, which doubles as a temples or a meeting place. Clan instituitions originated in China as associations for the people with the same surname. Today they are the organizations that look after the welfare of clan members and safeguard ancestral shrines.
