THE SHORT BRUNCH SESSION AT AEON PERMAS JAYA

I needed to get my [new] car tinted somewhere in Permas Jaya. That would require about two hours of waiting so Mr. Faiz suggested that we went to get brunch at AEON Permas Jaya which was nearby.

Even though I had been to the mall many times, I had never had any meal at the food court there.

I decided to try the food from the AEON kitchen: rice and beef dendeng [sliced meat cooked in chili and spices], and it was good. The portion of the meat is big but the price was still reasonable.

I regret coming here as I will after this go back to this place at least to get its Teh Tarik. Mind you, these days it is not easy to get a good glass of Teh Tarik.

THE IMPROMPTU GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE IN PERMAS JAYA

I met Mr. Mohd. Faiz this afternoon to get something done with my car. Unfortunately, the job had to be postponed to next Monday so we decided to get lunch instead.

The recommended eating place by Mr. Mohd Faiz was MBJB DKontena Permas Jaya. He wanted to introduce the Chicken Rice from Nasi Ayam & Nasi Ayam Penyet Noi stall at the food court.

The Chicken Rice was good. It is actually not easy nowadays to get good Chicken Rice from stalls or food courts. The rice must be fragrant and the soup should be thick. Now I know a new place to get lunch.

Mr. Mod. Faiz seem to be knowledgeable in finding good eating places around town. I will be seeing him again next week and there will be another gastronomic adventure going to happen.

OF AN IFTAR EVENT OUTSIDE AND A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

   30TH MARCH 2025    ~ When I thought that was the only time I had Iftar [break fast] outside [READ HERE], Mr. Mohd. Faizal Ahmad invited me to join him and his family for a similar event. This time, the venue was Reinassance Hotel in Permas Jaya. Three of Mr. Faizal's children are my ex-students attending SMK Dato' Jaafar.

The first time I went to this place was many years ago to attend a wedding reception.

Besides the Iftar session, it was also a birthday celebration for Mr. Adrian.

We were actually breaking fast on the eve of Eid and we got to know about the news at 8:00 p.m. while we were enjoying the buffet. Guess it was also an early Eid celebration for the group.

Thank you again Mr. Faizal and the family for inviting me. Only Allah may repay your kindness in many folds.

THE FIRST BLOOD DONATION SESSION FOR THE YEAR

There was a blood donation drive being held at AEON Permas Jaya. As it was already time for me to give away some of my blood, then I went there in the afternoon.

Everything was over in less than an hour.

Since the event was held in the mall, I was expecting better door gifts for donors. However, I was wrong. It was the usual food/drinks packet given if I go to the hospital.

I decided to reward myself with Teh Tarik and Butter & Kaya Toast at Old Town White Coffee Cafe in the mall. I needed instant food for energy to replace the blood lost. 😀
