I am back in Penyabong, Endau for a [very] short staycation getaway. So far, everything has been good, going to a few spots. We even ventured out into Pahang and stopped at Kuala Rompin before checking in at our accommodation. Praying for good weather for tomorrow and we will continue exploring.

THE BREAKFAST SESSION AT PONDOK SANTAPAN
Eventually we managed to get breakfast at Pondok Santapan in Larkin. Mr. Ridwan Wahid and his family was on a one night weekend getaway in Johor Bahru and it was customary for us to embark on the gastronomic adventure Johor style. We had dinner the evening before [READ HERE] and we met one more time before they headed home to Shah Alam in the afternoon.

THE DINNER SESSION WITH AN OLD FRIEND AND HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER
Mr. Ridwan Wahid, a friend of the UPM TESL Class of 1993, was in town with his wife, Puan Suhaila Sulong, and her daughter, Miss Reihana. A dinner date was promptly set once after I was informed of the news.
The chosen venue was Grand Almizan Restaurant in Bandar Baru Uda. We all chose Malay cuisines for the evening.
We were here in this same restaurant in June 2020, during the Covid-19 era [READ HERE]. That was the time when we had to still wear masks when we were outside, and social distance had to be observed while eating in public places.

GETTING PIZZA FOR THE WEEK'S GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE IN KULAI
For this week's gastronomic adventure, my gastronomic buddy and I drove further to Kulai. The mission was to get Pizza that was home-cooked in a brick stove over charcoal fire, or was it woodfire? The name of the place was Qulai Pizza.
The eating place was actually in the compound of someone's house in a village somewhere in Kulai. There were not many people when we arrived.

The food was served hot from the kitchen and was good. We might get back for the pizza or other food again some other time.
