ATTENDING AN EID OPEN HOUSE OF AN EX-CLASSMATE IN DENGKIL

28th APRIL 2024 ~ I went to attend an open house held by my Budiman ex-classmate of SMS Muar, Mr. Shamsul Akmal Shamsuddin, in Dengkil, Selangor. There were some uncertainties initially whether to go or not. Eventually my [UPM Class of 1993] friend, Mr. Ridwan Wahid, was willing to drive me all the way from Bukit Bintang [for a Book Launch event] to Mr. Shamsul's homestay.

We arrived at his place at about 4:00 p.m. and there were still many guests.

I met another ex-schoolmate, Mr. Ishak, whom I had never seen since we left SMS Muar in 1986. We were also dormmates of Pujangga Vll when we were in Form 5.

After that, Puan Siti Zubaidah Ramanoon and her husband, whom I met at their house in Bandar Baru Bangi the day before [READ HERE], arrived.

I could not stay long and had to excuse myself as I had a flight to catch in KLIA2 and Mr. Ridwan had to drive me there. This time I met more ex-classmates and schoolmates during Eid during my Kuala Lumpur trip.

MY DENGKIL GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE

   16th DECEMBER 2023    ~ Someone was actually very persistent to take me out for breakfast even though I had had one much earlier. I was actually had prewarned Mr. Ridwan Wahid [a friend of UPM TESL class of 1993] of my health condition which would make him and his wife uncomfortable as I would be intermittently coughing, but they just didn't take heed.

     

From Shah Alam they came to fetch me at USJ10 and then drove all the way to Dengkil, to Mek Noor Nasi Dagang - a restaurant that served authentic Terengganu cuisine.

It was a bit too late for breakfast but there were still many people at the restaurant.

 I was still full so I just went for the "kuih" and "keropok lekor".

This was not the end of the gastronomic adventure even though I would have to eat some more at the wedding reception after this.
