ARRIVING AND HAVING BREAKFAST IN SUNGAI PETANI FOR THE FIRST TIME

   21ST APRIL 2025    ~ I was back in Kedah as I had to attend a national level symposium held by Jabatan Kebajiikan Masyatakat (JKM) [TRANSLATE: Welfare Department]

I took the flight to Penang Internationa Airport and I was lucky to meet Puan Mawar, an officer of the department who was on the same flight. Because of that, I was given a lift to Alor Setar in the department's car. Since we arrived early in the morning, we decided to get breakfast and the driver diverted to Sungai Petani just for that.

The destination for breakfast was Warung Pokok Sawa and the main reason was to get Peknga, known as lempeng in other places [TRANSLATE: pancake] eaten with curry.

This was officially my first time setting foot in Sungai Petani and it was started with a gastronomic adventure. This should be a kind of introduction as I would be going back to the same place again in May to attend a wedding reception.
