HAVING LUNCH AT SEDAP CORNER IN PLAZA ANGSANA

Sedap Corner is one restaurant that was found many years ago in Johor Bahru and is still operating, with a few branches in town. Puan Maslinda and I decided to get lunch there after we found the first restaurant in Plaza Angsana we went into had very few items in the menu.

The last time I had lunch in Sedap Corner was in June 2023, at its main branch. [READ HERE]

Mee Bandung

Chicken Chop + Rice

Rojak

My Chicken Chop + Rice was good and Puan Maslinda's Mee Bandung tasted much better than the one I had had for breakfast in the morning [READ HERE]. I will recommend this place to other people if they are asking me for suggestions of an eating place in town.

THE SECOND FAREWELL GATHERING FOR A RETIRED EX-COLLEAGUE

   15TH DECEMBER 2025    ~ Another party was thrown to bid farewell to Puan Hasliza Abd. Rahman, the Head of the Language Department of SMK Dato' Jaafar who has retired and will be mowing back to Seremban real soon. This time the people involved were the other three Heads of Department who are now in different schools and another one is a retiree, and the school ex-Counselor.

Hopefully this was another memorable event for Puan Hasliza before she leaves for Seremban. May she not forget us here and may we still be connected at least on Facebook.

THE BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION AT SPAZIO RESTAURANT IN ANGSANA

   25TH APRIL 2025    ~ The gathering today was called to celebrate the birthday of Mr. Mohd. Khir Masbol. The chosen venue was Spazio Restaurant at Plaza Angsana as the place was conducive for us to sit for longer hours and there were varieties of food to choose from the menu.

At the same time, a friend of UPM TESL Class of 1993, Puan Fazilah Abdullah and her family were in the same restaurant. We managed to strike a short conversation. To our surprise, she generously paid for our meal.

After cutting the birthday cake and handing over the birthday presents, not only for Mr. Khir's birthday, the gathering was adjourned to a later date, unknown. We don't need to celebrate birthday to get together actually, it can just happen anytime.

THE BRUNCH SESSION THE DAY BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF THE FASTING MONTH

Chapati

Mr. Ridwan Wahid [a friend of UPM TESL Class of 1993], Puan Suhaila Sulong and their daughter were back in town, just one day before we start fasting in the month of Ramadan. This time, their niece was also with them.

I was notified at the last minute, so I could not think of any eating places. What more, many shops were already not operating today as they might have to prepare for their business at Ramadhan Bazaar. The only place I could think of was Plaza Angsana. However the restaurant that we wanted to go only opened at 11:00 a.m. and we were there at 10:00 a.m. So we just had breakfast at the Food Court.

Laksa Johor

Salad

By 11:00 a.m., we were already in Spazio Restaurant & Cafe, for more food. That should conclude the very short gastronomic adventure trip this time.

I was glad I got to see them as I could pass some items for Ramadan and the upcoming Eid, and they managed to hand over the Keropok [fish crackers] from Terengganu, and a new pot of Hibiscus plant to me.

The gastronomic adventure will only continue after the month of Ramadhan.

THE SECOND GATHERING WITH EX-COLLEAGUES OF SMK GELANG PATAH

  16TH NOVEMBER 2024   ~ The second gathering with ex-colleagues of SMK Gelang Patah was held at Spazio Restaurant in Plaza Angsana. These are the people whom I became fiends when I was first posted to the school in 1993 and left in 1994.

We taught in the same school just for about 2 years but we enjoyed our life working the rural area, even though most of us stayed far away from school.

We met at the same venue many months ago as they could decide of a place. I chose the same cafe as parking was not a problem, the toilets in the mall were clean and the surau [praying room for Muslims] was convenient. And the food at the cafe was also good.

It was really good to have a short chat session once in a while. We already planning to meet again soon, hopefully at a different place and with more people joining in.
