MY KL GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE - BREAKFAST AT DOTTY'S

25th AUGUST 2018 ~ This was not a place for people to get the usual "nasi lemak", "roti canai" or "teh tarik" for their breakfast. I went western on that day, accompanied by three ladies of UPM TESL class of 1993: Puan Hazlina Aziz, Puan Hanna Sheikh Mokhtar and Puan Zanariah Abdul Shukor.

This place could be a haven for pastries. I wanted to just have the doughnut that morning but was asked to choose something more sophisticated. I ended eating egg and cheese sandwich as I really was not sure of what to pick.

The outlet I visited is located at Taman Tun Dr. Ismail. I was told there is always a long queue outside every Saturday and Sunday morning.

I should thank all my three friends again for the luxurious food as well as the company for breakfast. The Irish proverb is true after all: laughter is brightest in the place where the food is. Hopefully there will be more meetings over breakfast like this in the future. And I don't mind going back to Dotty's again.

THE 14th DAY OF EID 1439H

Eid was celebrated in SMK Dato' Jaafar today. We had some sort of "open house" where each class (led by the form teacher) held a feast for the teachers, members of the class and the non-academic staff as well.

Basically what I had to do was to walk around and visit a few classes assigned to me - only nine (out of the total number of 32). I was already full by the time I was in class number 3.

People were happy in all the classes I went to, especially when they were surrounded by delicious food. This definitely was a good session for both the teachers and students, not only the got to celebrate Eid together, but also to strengthen the rapport between respective parties. I was too busy eating so I did not take many photos.

Food always unite people. And I am getting fatter by the day.

ONE AFTERNOON IN SEOUL (GARDEN)

In conjunctions with the second day of  Deepavali school break, four people had decided to get together for an eat-all-you-can session. This time we agreed to go Korean but too bad it was not in Seoul, but only in Plaza Angsana. It was my first time eating at Seoul Garden.

We were among the first to arrive and stayed there eating and chatting for 3 hours. Thank God, I have met a group of people who are willing to get fat together. We should do this some other time, soon.

"It's easy to impress me. I don't need a fancy party to be happy. Just good food, good friends, good laughs. I'm happy. I'm satisfied. I'm content."

BANDUNG DAY 3 - FLOATING MARKET

17th September ~ Right after breakfast, we were taken to our next destination - the Floating Market of Bandung. I think they are trying to copy the concept from other countries which have this kind of trading activities on water.

Items that were put on sale were all local delicacies. The boats floated but were stationary and visitors had to walk on hard pavement from boat to boat, deciding on what to eat.

Surprisingly, almost everyone in the group bought and tried "sate arnab" (barbecued rabbit meat). I did not. How could people eat the animals that look so cute and adorable? *tears*

These are the animals you had eaten, kids.

We could not stay long as we had to hurry for our ultimate Bandung shopping trip right after this.
