華語華文感想

此文于西元二零一二年十二月二十九日或刊登于星洲日报沟通平台 華語華文感想
 
今年华教运动此起彼落,好不精彩。各华社团体如华总董教总等单只为了关丹独中这一华教课题就够忙了。

今年也折损了一些华教斗士如郭鹤尧老前辈等。这些老前辈为华社或华教鞠躬尽瘁,气概令人敬佩。读着他们生前故事,会令人向往,心情澎湃。

可是,当他们的子女,在媒体上的通通以英语致悼词时,笔者在听着当时,感慨之心油然升起。

这使笔者想起了某位本地知名马华作家老前辈。依笔者所知,该老前辈之子女,也非全皆谙华语华文。

笔者无意、也不敢在此论对错。毕竟个人的所做所为,所信所追,其实通通都无关子孙。况且,这是个开明的时代,华人需谙华语的思维已显得不合时宜。再者,笔者一向认为,个人有权选择生命里种种课题,学什么语言,以何为母语都是个人权力。亲人是华教斗士华团领袖马华作家等,都不该成为个人的枷锁,从而限制了个人的选择。

笔者很好奇,想知道当事人以英语发表悼词的原因。

笔者喜爱华语华文,不知不觉中会自己制造假象,期许老前辈等都是完美的。故当笔者看到老前辈们的子女已英语致词时,心中落差很大。故撰此文。

笔者衷心希望一朝华语华文能发光发亮,如今日之英语,成为多人的首选母语。以华语华文学习、研究、开发、创作、发明等等!

怡保奇峰豆腐花 Kei Fung Taufu Hua @ Ipoh

有傳怡保很多以山水所制作之豆腐花!山水純凈自不必說,又含豐富礦物質,是上上佳之水!怡保多山,山多故山水也多。從怡保去檳城車子要〔穿山越嶺過洞〕呢!豆腐與茶和面一樣,源自中國,是華人的傳統食物。
Ipoh is famous of its delicious Mountain Water-made Taufu Hua. Mountain Water means water where its source is from mountain. It is clean and pure. Mountain Water contains a lot of minerals also. Ipoh has a lot of mountains. The supply of Mountain Water is sufficient to produce Mountain Water-made Taufu. Taufu Hua is one of the famous tradional Chinese food. Taufu itself is originated in China, just like Tea and Noodle too.

這奇峰的豆腐花,還真的像是以上等水所制作的!
The Taufu Hua by KeiFung is really like made of good quality water.

余從沒吃過這么這么這么滑的豆腐花!吃時簡直就是滑入喉內般!
I have never eaten such Taufu Hua, which is so smooth. The feeling of eating is like it just slipped into my throat.

老板盛了豆腐花后,尚加點豆腐水滋潤滋潤。
The boss added some Taufu Tsui (Taufu Juice) on top of the Taufu Hua. This has made the Taufu Hua more juicy.

至于糖漿,只有白糖漿,不像許多業者給于許多懸著,如黑糖、姜糖等。
In terms of sweetener, the boss provides only the normal sugar. Unlike most of the Taufu Hua stall provides brown sugar or even ginger sugar.

雖是如此,還是贊!
However, it is still good to eat! Try it yourself!

景贵街潮州煎蕊 Lebuh Keng Kwee Teo Chew Cendol

走了許多冤枉路方找到此檔。就在〔光大〕大廈附近而已。經過光大后(右邊)就需緩慢行駛,留意那小小條短短的景貴街〔巷〕,這檔就在街口而已。
I spent some time to search for this particular stall. If you go past Komtar which is on your right, then you have to slow down already to look for the small lane Lebuh Keng Kwee.

那煎蕊好好吃!入口濃濃椰漿香味,伴著紅豆青草吃,冷冷的非常消暑。那〔青草〕非常軟滑,很新鮮。
The cendol contains very strong fragrance of coconut milk. It is very very delicious. It is not too sweet. The boss puts in big red bean. The long green jelly is very soft.








記憶中,煎蕊源自印尼,余嘗過不少煎蕊,卻不知此與彼有何分別?余沒看到什么〔潮州〕風味?這些問題要問老板了。
I do not know what is the difference between a typical Cendol and Teo Chew Style cendol anyway. This Cendol is delicious but I do not find any special "Teo Chew" element in it. As I know, Cendol is actually originated from Indonesia. Somehow in Malaysia, the Mamak(Indian Muslim) is known best to sell Cendol.


余一點心靈分享

余看到有人在面子書、臉書問了些問題如下。

 有时真的要怀疑宗教信仰,哪有博爱精神?为什么同人不同命?

余以余對生命的了解來嘗試回答。


我們來地球之前,已選定了這世要修的功課,功課會形成生命里的種種挑戰,讓我們修。在這個角度上,我們都是〔平等〕的,因為命好命壞都是一種〔功課〕。只是我們忘了,看到挑戰,〔感覺〕很〔痛苦〕,制造〔痛苦〕〔假象〕,使自己沉迷于〔假象〕中,忘了從〔挑戰〕中完成功課。〔痛苦〕形成于自己對某某事件的〔刻板觀念〕,只要放下該〔刻板觀念〕,將〔心〕打開,〔痛苦〕將逝。可能周圍的人會不斷〔挑起〕自己的〔痛苦〕,但只要真的〔放下〕〔刻板觀念〕,旁人話語絕對影響不了自己。有些人受不了,選擇自盡,殊不知功課這世未修完,下一世還是要修,因為是自己一早就選定的,只是活在人身,忘了而已。當然,說易行難,你我一起努力吧!

我們可以努力,玩這場游戲,但我們無需執著,于游戲結果。

檳城暹羅路炒粿條 Char Kuey Teow @ Siam Road Penang

好幸運,這檔就在酒店那條街的街口!
I was very lucky. This stall is near to my hotel. It is really just "around the corner".

有何特別?炒粿條的那位老先生夠老咯!他用炭火炒哩!他一邊炒一邊扇炭火哩!
What's so special? The cook is old enough. LOL. He uses charcoal but cooking gas to fry the Kuey Teow. I  saw him fanning the charcoal fire a few times to increase the temperature.

好多人哦!現吃的都坐在對角頭間的咖啡店等粿條。排隊打包的也不時來了很多。余足足等了九十分鐘哩!熱飲都變冷了。
So many customers! All the dine-in one were waiting at the coffee shop located just opposite the stall. The coffee shop sells nothing but toast and drinks. Those who put take-away order were queing for the fried kuey teow. I waited for around 90 minutes for my portion to be served. :(

正饑腸轆轆時,粿條上桌了。小小碟的,看起來好油!趁熱吃,香哦!佐料有臘腸雞蛋豆芽蛤蚶等。炭香味我沒留意哦!但真的很熱。
Finally my Fried Kuey Teow was served. The portion looks small. It looks oily too. But it is really delicious! The cook put much pork oil to add the fragrance I guess. I did not notice the charcoal taste but the Kuey Teow was really hot. There are ingredients such as chinese ham, egg, bean strouts, clam. Nice!

這炒粿條好吃是好吃,但也只是勝過其它的那么一點,要等那么久,余覺得沒什么值得。
This Char Kuey Teow was nice but only surpasses the rest a little. If you do not like waiting then I do not recommend you to take this.

但若君沒吃過,余建議君花些耐心等等吧!因為就是好吃!
But I still think you should try it if you never try this particular stall before.

昔加末好吃沙爹!

沙爹(Sateh)這詞不知是否源自馬來語,有人說源自中國〔沙茶〕,余沒去考究,這活就由本地食物專家林金城先生去做吧!

沙爹是馬來西亞道地食物,其實只是燒肉串而已,其特點是配上甜甜的花生辣椒醬(沙爹醬),伴著生洋蔥黃瓜軟飯團吃,是很過癮的事。

余家鄉昔加末,有一家店的沙爹蠻好吃的,余以前是常客,最近幾年則因為種種原因而少去了,其實余很想念之的。因為余在外地,說實話,鮮少吃到好吃的沙爹。當然著名的加影沙爹的確很棒!曾經也吃過一嘛嘛檔的沙爹,也很好吃。

余不知烤沙爹需多大工夫,好吃的沙爹,要肥瘦肉均衡,吃起來有油滲出。而好吃的沙爹醬要有濃濃花生香味才贊!當然這是余之口味,可能閣下另有見解。

這間〔艾爾沙德〕(Arshad),正是賣著余所形容的好吃沙爹,余最近回鄉,碰上家里沒菜,就前往該店嘗嘗想念已久之沙爹。

來這里吃,若是空肚子的話,余的習慣都是先吃該店的椰漿飯(Nasi Lemak),其椰漿飯也很有水準,由蕉葉包裹。余最喜歡以蕉葉包裹之椰漿飯了!因為夠香!椰漿味特濃!那些以碟子盛著的往往都讓余大失所望。當然,單單吃椰漿飯實在太單調了,店員會送上一碟淋上沙爹醬的魷魚串,任食客配著椰漿飯吃。算錢時店員會算游客共吃了幾包椰漿飯,幾枝魷魚串。

至于沙爹,余都是吃雞肉的。該店所送上的沙爹醬蠻少,余通常都不滿足會求更多,因為太香了,甚至能喝下去啊!呵呵。
