The night earlier, my friend TH offered to bring me for one of the best nasi kandar ( located in Transfer road ) and to snap the the lion dance on stilt competition. I was not aware about this until then so I decided to take up the offer.
We woke up late that day ~8.30am and left the house at 9am. True enough, there were not many choices left at the nasi kandar stall ( no pictures but will snap them the next time )
After that we left to Komtar. We were early and had to wait almost an hour before the event start. The stage setup for the competition was quite poor ,as IMHO ( in my humble opinion) they could even better promote it if they organize it at the open area at Gurney , Queensbay or Timesquare. Having a Lion dance competition in an enclosed area just does not give the "uuhhmm" feel. Secondly, I felt they could do better with the prompts as it looks like it is really a cheap stage ( the organizers lay cheap foams and matress around the stilts ).
Having said that, I was really amaze with the quality of the lion dance and dragon dance that was displayed. If you notice carefully, the stilts are constructed at an elevated level and it slowly gets higher. One of the team actually jump up at the middle section of the stilts which really amaze me as it it probably ~5-6 feet high.
Hopefully they will further promote this and I really enjoyed watching them perform.
