Although my wife and I have visited Hameediyah many times, as we like its murtabak, but I have never met the boss until yesterday. It so happens that one of my business partners knew the boss of Hameediyah. So yesterday, the boss invited all of us to dinner, and I met for the first time Syed Ibrahim, the great grandson of the founder of Hameediyah, and present managing director of the business.
Hameediyah had prepared for us a feast like we've never seen before. There was a big Curry Fish Head, Beef Curry, Mutton Curry, Squid Curry, Curry Kapitan chicken, Rempah Chicken, Curry Duck Drumstick, Dalcha, Murtabak, and Briyani Tomato Rice. There were four of us - myself, my business partner and two business associates, yet it was too much food for us. I mentally calculated in my head, if we had to pay for this meal, how much it would have cost. There was so much leftover that we get to take some home, which means I am having Hameediyah leftovers for dinner tonight, and I don't mind one bit!
When Syed Ibrahim met me, the first thing he said to me was, "You are very famous!" I have to admit, it's nice to hear that, and I feel humbled to learn that he has been a "follower" of my articles in Penang Travel Tips for a long time. Although I have patronised Hameediyah many times in the past, I have always eaten there incognito.
Syed Ibrahim invited me to return to the restaurant with my wife, and I unabashedly accepted. I look forward to write about that meal when it happens.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
