Why two "cows"? These are endearing terms used by Nik Zainin, my companion on the road trip, from 1984/85 when we did a course in Birmingham, UK. In our discussion on the Product Life Cycle, I had introduced the terms "Cash Cow" and "Mature Cow" to denote two phases of that cycle. Nik then proudly identified himself as the "Mature Cow", "Lau Goo" in the Hokkien dialect and likened me to the "Cash Cow", "Lui Goo" in the same dialect. This road trip is the second we did, having taken one to the Malaysian East Coast last year. After picking me in KL, we undertook a slow drive to Perlis, which both of us have not visited before. On the way, we deviated from the highway to the Old Trunk Road for lunch and down memory lane. Yik Mun is the place to go for very good "Pao" or steamed meat dumplings. |
