THE GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE AT A SUNDA RESTAURANT IN BANDUNG

   22nd FEBRUARY 2025    ~ Our first gastronomic adventure happened at a Sunda Restaurant called: Warung Nasi Khas Sunda Laksana [TRANSLATE: Laksana Special Sunda Rice Restaurant].

This place served original Sunda dishes which I could take, with variety of Sambal, i.e. spicy sauce made with chillies.

The restaurant was not popular among tourists I guess. We could see only locals dining in for dinner when we were there.

Unfortunately, I think I had taken too much hot and spicy food from the restaurant. Only the next morning when I woke up, my tonsils got swollen and slightly painful. I bought some medication from the pharmacy and it got better thankfully. I thought I was alright with the food but that was one gastronomic adventure went wrong.

A VERY SHORT MEETING WITH AN OLD FRIEND FROM COLLEGE

15th August 2015 ~ My meeting with old friends would usually last an hour or more, except for certain cases when the guests could not stay longer and had to hurry home. So when Puan Rozida Ramli, my ex-coursemate from the UPM TESL group class of 1993, came to Johor Bahru for her nephew's wedding but just could find the right time to sit and chat, we had to settle for a short meeting. I went to meet her and the family in Senibong while they were having their (early) dinner and we managed to gossip a bit and carried out the barter trade activity.

Thanks for the instant bottled "sambal" which I am yet to try later.  I might get some if I travel again in the future. And according to Puan Rozida, you could also order MamaG products online which I need to find out how to go about doing that.
