Hakka Connexion

"All people are migrants on this earth, in time and space.
There is but one race - the human race.
Knowing our root is to better understand and respect other people's roots.
Preserve our cultural heritage to promote diversity and not hegemony."

Very well said! The quote above was seen hanging on the wall of this unique eatery, the Hakka Connexion which serves Hakka delicacies situated at Jalan Bawasah behind Dorsett Hotel and Giant Jalan Burmah, Penang.

The food served here was not superb to me, but it is a unique place in a sense that beside the eatery, lies the Memorial of the late Tan Sri Wong Pow Nee, the first Chief Minister of Penang. The owner of the eatery was the son of the late Tan Sri.

The wisdom that lies in between the quote...
