STARTING OFF THE KL ROAD TRIP WITH BREAKFAST

    7th AUGUST 2026     ~ The my very first road trip to Kuala Lumpur started off with the breakfast session. We chose to eat at this restaurant called De Selera Pantai Timur in Taman Pulai Mutiara, as it was located on our way out into the main road.

There were not many people when we were there as people had already clocked in for work.

The specialty of this place was its East Coast cuisines and I decided to try Nasi Dagang, while my friend just settled for Sardine Murtabak.

We had to make a move because there would still be a long way to go. I don't mind coming back to this place to try its other food, may be for lunch or dinner.

VISITING AN EX-STUDENT IN KPJ HOSPITAL IN DAMANSARA

After attending a wedding reception in Klang, I quickly drove to KPJ Specialist Hospital 2 in Damansara. The mission was to visit Mr. Ahmad Firdaus Shahlan, an ex-student of SMK Taman Universiti who had just undergone a bypass heart surgery there.

I also got to meet the wife of Mr. Ahmad, Puan Noor Al Iman Mazlan, and his younger sister, Puan Shazwani Shahlan, who were both my ex-students of the same school.

There were many other visitors when I was there. It seemed he was one popular patient in the ward. Unfortunately, I could stay that long as I had to drive back to Johor Bahru right after.

Wishing Mr. Ahmad a speedy recovery and looking forward to other coffee sessions with him and his friends soon.

BLOGGING FROM SHAH ALAM, SELANGOR

 I am now blogging from Shah Alam, Selangor and will be spending the night here. The shirt trip is more interesting and different from others as I drove all the way from Johor Bahru. There will be important agenda in the itinerary list tomorrow before going home that could be featured in my blog real soon. Make sure you come back for the updates real soon.

SPOT THE ERROR 235

FISH MACKEREL CRACKERS

THE CORRECT VERSION:

MACKEREL CRACKERS

or 

MACKAREL FISH CRACKERS

[Although I feel "Mackerel Fish" is a repetition - the word "fish" is not necessary].

 

THE BRIEF PRE-LUNCH SESSION WITH AN EX-COLLEAGUE

I met Mr. Sanusi Jusoh, an ex-colleague of SMK Taman Universiti, at Taman Sri Pulai Mosque. [He is now teaching in SMK Skudai.] We both came to visit an ex-colleague's/ex-students' father who passed away and the prayer was held at the mosque. We instantaneously decided to get something light for lunch and the nearest eating place was Restoran Aminah.

It was only a short dine in meeting but it was worth the time. It is now getting more and more difficult to meet and chat with ex-colleagues as people seem to be busy with work related matters.

SPOT THE ERROR 234

  ERROR #1   

❎ CAN DRINK

✅ CANNED DRINK

  ERROR #2  

NESCAFE DRINK is a repetition.

We do not say Coke Drink, or Pepsi Drink.

We just say Coke and Pepsi.

  ERROR #3  

CRUTON?

I googled and could not find CRUTON.
Perhaps it should be CROUTON.

GETTING CHICKEN RICE FOR LUNCH IN KULAI

We decided to go to IOI Mall in Kulai for lunch with no specific place in mind. Then we saw this new restaurant called "Sang Gerai" and wanted to give it a try.

The place was filled with people eating in. Luckily we managed to get a table for two, or else we had to queue for seats outside.

I asked the girl waiter at the entrance, what was the restaurant's specialty and she answered: Teh Tarik.

We ordered Chicken Rice, which had almost the same resemblance of the menu at Chicken Rice Shop. For one thing, there is now a competition which should be healthy.

Take photo first,
then review

I am happy with my meal and hope they will maintain the taste and quality of the food. I will not hesitate to come back to try other items in the menu.
