THE TESL PRE WEDDING RECEPTION GATHERING IN PUTRAJAYA

   27TH SEPTEMBER 2024    ~ There was a pre UPM TESL wedding reception gathering held the evening before the real event [READ HERE]. The chosen venue this time was Indus Restaurant in Putrajaya. 

This should be my second time here. The first time was also with a group of TESL friends back in 2018, after visiting another friend in a hospital in Kajang [READ HERE]. After six years, the place sure had changed a lot.

We conquered the centre part of the open dining area, with a few tables combined to accommodate everybody and a few came with their spouses and children.

There were many diners that evening and this was a popular spot to celebrate birthdays in Putrajaya. The birthday songs were sung seven times when we were there.

One of the birthday people celebrating was from our group, Puan Hanna Sheikh Mokhtar.

There was also a live band performance at the restaurant. We, however, were seated right in front of the loud speakers so communicating over dinner was almost impossible unless we shouted to the person sitting beside us.

Someone from the group went up the stage to sing a song with the band.

We had to leave by 10:00 p.m. so we could go back and have enough rest to party again the next day at the wedding reception.

We had to thank the newly retired Puan Salmiah Ghazali for the dinner treat. I should have ordered something more expensive if I had known about it earlier.

MY PUTRAJAYA GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE - INDUS BY THE PUTRAJAYA LAKE

Just some photos taken when I was there on the 9th November 2018.

It had already started drizzling when we arrived, hence the grey sky.

Watching the transition of Putrajaya sky - from day to night.

MY PUTRAJAYA GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE - EATING DINNER BY THE LAKE AT INDUS

9th NOVEMBER 2018 ~ After the hospital visit, Dr. Hayati Ismail was kind enough to play host and took us from the UPM TESL class of 1993 group to this exclusive restaurant by Putrajaya Lake for dinner.

There were not many people when we were there so we could just simply enjoy ourselves without having any worries of disturbing other people.

I had Malang Grilled Chicken with rice, and the was this Naraka Fried Rice which was very hot and spicy - we wondered if "Naraka" is actually "Neraka" in Malay, which means "hell".

You could also enjoy the view of Putrajaya at the other side of the lake after your meal.

I have more photos of this place in my camera which are not yet transferred to my PC. I will sure share them later.
