Why is this site called mylongkang.com?

I have noticed many mamak stalls and kopi tiams mushroom by the longkang. The waters of the longkang aren’t too clean either. But that doesnt stop people from frequenting such places. It is at places like these that the conversation is most alive.

roti canai

The people , the real people…..the people who are out there…whether they walk there, come on a motorcycle, Perodua Kancil or a Mercedez….go to such places to relax, unwind, borak-borak and see who’s there.

In the same way, I hope my blog will be a place where people will stop by on their cyber journey to other websites…see what is there and tell us what is going on in their lives.

In other words, the typical kopi-tiam :)
I will be there in my white singlet and short pants to take your order. Anybody wants roti canai, kaya with roti?

My regular kopi tiam customer ( guest blogger ) is fly-fisher

    Good site. Nice topic to read. But as Mamak Stall story? I believe you are the customer. Giving out money to drink roti canai & teh tarik.

    How about if you become the stall owner? The Mamak? In short, well, I suggest you install some ads here (for us to buy-if related) such as Adsense, Amazon, Chitika, etc… anyway, thats only a suggestion from a customer to a mamak stall. Chow…

  10. Bengbeng on 26 December, 2006

    My blog is too new to apply to have ads. It is not yet one month’s old as of today :). However it is a good suggestion. I will keep it in mind and the ads might attract readers too. Thank you :)

  19. aryst on 3 August, 2007

    Good point here for naming ur blog mylongkang…why didn’t I think about that ha?

    u can try my kangpi ( riverside? :)

  20. LC_Teh on 5 August, 2007

    I was not very good at hanging around at kopitiams. I was always thinking about what I could be doing with my time. But then once in a while I’d venture into one to find out what’s happening. Usually there’s nothing much. The guys who have all the time at hand seem to have nothing much to discuss with me. I’m one of those with far away dreams. Those were the days. I haven’t sat in a real kopitiam for ages.

    Now this place of yours seems more likely a place where you’ll meet new visitors drifting by every now and then and meet the regulars. A cyber kopitiam. That’s nice. Keep those interesting subjects coming. I’ll be back to look into this ‘longkang’.

    You are always welcome. I will reserve some kong pia for u :)

  21. Jean on 19 August, 2007

    Hi Bengbeng! thanks for visiting my blog! what a name for a blog! your explanation clarify all! :)

    was a pleasure visiting yr blog :)

  22. humorpic on 16 September, 2007

  23. 3POINT8 on 17 September, 2007

  24. Darren on 19 September, 2007

    Yea the mamak idea and the creative name are so cool.

    hahahah thanks. i have linked you. :)

  25. preciouswill take u upon th on 7 October, 2007

    Hi Bengbeng, my favorite longkang eatery is the siham and sotong kangkung stall by the monsoon drain in historic Melaka. The next time you drop by my hometown, I’ll take you there for a taste of real longkang experience.

    Now that I’ve discovered you, mylongkang.com is my second favorite.

    i will take u up on the offer sooner or later ;)

  26. Stephanie Kok on 16 October, 2007

    Yeah, next time you go Melaka, will show you a place to eat by the cemetery…cool place.
    My another website will be http://www.exploremelaka.com
    (can I don’t do mathematics here?) :P

    it is jus to stop spam :)

  27. Jayce on 20 November, 2007

    1 roti canai please… :)

  28. soul.invisible on 1 December, 2007

    It’s a real shame of boasting such a s/market here.
    It hardly has any proper parking space and other facilities which created much chores to the ppl living nearby and the shoppers themselves.

    If such a s/market can boom, my toilet can be a kopitaim too!

    thanks for yr input..i didnt realize that problem..now that u mention it..it must pose great difficulties for nearby residents. on the plus side though, u dont have to spend so much money on petrol like me n drive so far jus to buy a few items. thank you.

  29. elliv on 23 December, 2007

    mamak stalls in sibu? hmm…..

    There are a few I frequent actually :) . i love nasi beriayani

  30. hcfoo on 26 December, 2007

  32. nona on 19 February, 2008

  38. David on 24 May, 2008

    Haha, finally i know why ur name like tat.

    I like the feel that you descript above, where the life is very casual, a very typical feeling of kopitiam…

    i prefer to keep it and life simple..no need to think too much :)

  39. mrcolku on 28 May, 2008

    ya, thats it. so coincidence. :)
