GEORGE TOWN: For generations, Zhao Jun (the Kitchen God) at the back of Chris Ong’s house in Muntri Street “watched” and “heard” everything in the house.
To honour the deity, 63-year-old Ong, a fifth-generation Penang-born baba , keeps alive the annual tradition of sending off and welcoming the Kitchen God.“I grew up in my ancestral home along the same road and spent my first 17 years there.
“Being a collector of old items, I preserved it, as sustainability is part of my philosophy,” he said yesterday.Ong, who is currently a hotelier, said unlike most families, who would make offerings and send the deity off in the morning, he preferred to do it later in the day.
