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.

Mee Bandung


Sate


Seafood Fried Rice


The chosen venue was Grand Almizan Restaurant in Bandar Baru Uda. We all chose Malay cuisines for the evening.

Kuey Teow


Fried Mee Hoon


Iced Milk Tea


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.


The dinner session lasted for about only an hour. It had been a long day for the family. We left the place which was still occupied with diners at about 10:30 p.m. The gastronomic adventure will resume the next morning for breakfast.

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.

THE BREAKFAST SESSION WITH THE RETIREES


When we got to know Puan Rohani Shamsuddin was in town, a breakfast date was promptly set with two other ex-colleagues of SMK Taman Universiti, Puan Rokiah Junoh and Puan Rosnani Abd. Talib. The chosen restaurant was Tea Garden in Taman Impian Emas.


Puan Rohani is currently residing in Kemaman, Terengganu and was here visiting her daughter and her family. It was customary for the four friends to meet up every time she is in town.
















There were not many people in the restaurant so we managed to stay for about two and a half hours. The meeting was long as the chat topics were vast and varied, but was heard in Tea Garden remained in Tea Garden.

Thanks to all the sisters for the fun time, eating and chatting. Hope we could see each other again when time permits.
