THE LUNCH DATE AT SEDAP CORNER


We did not meet last weekend for our regular gastronomic adventure because of the Election Day. To make up for the session, we went on a lunch date during Mr. Redzuan's lunch break. The chosen venue was Sedap Corner at Jalan Abdul Samad.


Even though the food here I would consider overpriced, there were a lot of people coming during lunch hour.

hot lemon


rice + beef in spicy coconut gravy


buttermilk chicken chop + rice







It was one short dine in session as my friend had to get back to work at 2:00 p.m. We might resume with our gastronomic adventure this weekend.

MEETING THE HUSBAND AND WIFE EX-STUDENTS WHO CAME BACK FROM MEKAH


Mr. Ahmad Firdaus Ahmad Shahlan and Puan Nor Al-Iman Madzlan, the husband-and-wife ex-students [of SMK Taman Universiti] just came back from their pilgrimage in Mekah. A date with them was set at Manzanita Restaurant in Eko Botani at 2:30 p.m. It was customary to welcome people who came home from the holy land.


This was my third time having a meal at this particular restaurant. It seemed the place was popular as there were many diners on Sunday afternoon.
















The meeting lasted for two hours and we had to bid our goodbyes as it was getting late. It was the first lengthy sit in session for the three of us and it was one interesting chat session. Wishing Mr. Ahmad Firdaus the best of health and may he recover real soon. Hopefully we could do this again some other time after this.

THE ONE NIGHT STAY AT PANTAI MAWAR CHALET


I decided to choose Pantai Mawar chalet for our accommodation during our one night staycation in Endau on the 28th June 2026 . That was the best decision made, as the chalet was like the my dream house - small but complete. It would be a place I would love to spend my time longer.


The most important thing, the place was well taken care of. Everything was clean and in order, it looked more like a compact luxurious hotel room.


It was equipped with all the essential electrical gadgets one would need when going for a holiday.












Location wise the place was very strategic - very near to the scenic Pulau Mawar. It was also a short distance away to Penyabong Beach and Teluk Gorek Beach. There was a restaurant - a walking distance away from the chalet where we had our dinner.








One unit of chalet could house 4 people - 2 adults and 2 children.


I would love to get back to Pantai Mawar Chalet if I were to go back to Endau one day. You could refer to the last photo for any enquiry and reservation and the owner was also a helpful and informative person.

As usual, another mini reunion happened with ex-colleagues and ex-students. The wedding event was Bizmilla Hall at Eko Botanic, somewhere in Gelang Patah.
