THE LUNCH SESSION AT ANGSANA SHOPPING MALL

   13th OCTOBER 2024    ~ After the breakfast session at Selera Johor [READ HERE], I suggested a new eating place to visit for lunch. This time we went to Plaza Angsana to see if they would love the food there.

Miss Reihana and I had Laksa Johor, Puan Suhaila chose to eat Asam Pedas while Mr. Ridwan opted for Fish and Chips.

I think this was our first time having a meal at shopping restaurant in Johor Bahru. I am not sure whether they were impressed with their food as they did not mention anything and I did not ask.

The was the final meal we had for the day. It was at another frequently visited place in Kampung Melayu called Rumah Udang. There was no extensive report as we were too busy savouring our food.

I got to thank again Mr. Ridwan Wahid, Puan Suhaila Sulong and Miss Reihana for the many gastronomic adventures this time. Thank you also for both the birthday presents. That was the only birthday celebration I had this year.

I really need to prepare a list of eating places in Johor Bahru that we had never visited so we could try new food at new places next time they are back in town.

MY HOMETOWN GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE - "FISH AND CHIPS AT INFUSION CAFE, KSL HOTEL"

I was at KSL Hotel to make the payment for the upcoming gathering which will be held there this weekend. I went to Infusion Cafe right after school, still clad in my uniform unit attire. The plan was to get a slice of carrot cake and coffee right after the appointment at the cafe in the shopping mall attached to the hotel. However, I was offered an early dinner/late lunch which I was quite reluctant to accept at first. Eventually I chose fish and chips, which should be not that expensive compared to other food choices on the menu - and healthy too.

the pic is shaky as I was shocked to see the size of the platter

When my food arrived, I was surprised at the size of the platter and the food in it. This portion of fish and chips (and all the garnishes) was definitely worth the price and considering I was eating in a hotel. I think the mayonnaise kitchen-made was really delicious.

Thank you Mr. Asri Katni, one of the earliest students whom I taught when I was posted to SMK Gelang Patah back in 1993, and is now the management staff of the cafe . That one moment when I felt being a teacher is not so bad after all.
