Nepalese dao kin in Penang

Ishwori tz brought several Nepalese dao kin to visit Penang.  Lim tz with Michael tz picked  them up from the bus station and proceeded to show them around Penang Island.  I joined them for dinner at Tiffany Vegetarian Restaurant at Amoy Lane


After dinner one Nepalese dao kin ask where to find betel quid or "paan", he must have his fix *haha*.  First we went to the flower stalls at Pitt Street but were directed to Market Street (aka Little India).  Betel quid consist of betel leaf with areca nut ("pinang") and other ingredients like lime (calcium carbonate), tobacco and spices (like clove, cardamon, turmeric) (see: link ).
My mom use to eat it on certain special occasion.
