Birthday Dinner

Every year, the birthday dinner would be to celebrate me and my father-in-law. Meaning that Puan Anita had to please the two of us at the same time!

This year we had dinner at China Treasures a couple of days early since my brother-in-law would be away later in the weekend. Cakes of course, although I ended up finishing it!

And now for another orbit around the sun! Cheers!

Outing to The Curve

160630 The Curve under the dome - Spherical Image - RICOH THETA

We had a long day today with the school ferry and Idlan's extra class that we postponed our groceries run until afetr berbuka. I had to go to the bank anyway and we decided to have a look at what was going on at The Curve.

Nothing fancy in terms of decorations but they certainly had plenty of stalls there. Expensive on the whole, and we ended up not buying anything. 

By the time the groceries were done, most of the restaurants had stopped taking orders. Which was a shame since I was starving ....

Back to Melawati

Its a tradition for us. Every year, our local Pasar Ramadhan would be the one at Taman Melawati. Over the years it had gone through plenary of changes, in terms of location and appearance. It used to be in a large car park, four rows of shops, well spaced out. Plenty of stalls and food to choose from. A real go to spot when it came to shopping for berbuka.

For the last three years, the venue had changed and with that, the charm had disappeared. Many good stalls had decided to go elsewhere. My favourite drink joint was nowhere to be seen. What was left were pretty basic while some were downright mediocre.

I only went there because I was curious. Definitely not there because I wanted the food. And don't get me started about the traffic.

The new Pasar Ramadhan spot was located along one of the back row, on a smaller car park. Three rows of shops and parking meant leaving your car by the roadside of a busy main road. It was both a nightmare manouvering in and out of the place. Avenue you were late, forget it. You might end up in your car longer than the actual shopping.

I was there on the second day of Ramadhan. Definitely not a fan but if you must look for food for Berbuka, you may not have much of a choice.

Berbuka at Bukit Antarabangsa

It was Julia and Salleh's turn to sponsor the berbuka at Bukit Antarabangsa on the second day of Puasa. It was a yearly tradition - my turn would be next weekend.

I went there only with Anita since the boys had tuition and mengaji that afternoon. We got there early, greeted by my Mum who prepared something extra for me, my favourite Gulai Ikan Kering. It was to die foot, with extra portion for sahur later.

Almost time Time for prayers More people than expected turned up and the food was finished 5 minutes before berbuka. We hang around until after Maghrib prayers after which in had to send Idlan for his tuition.

The Sands Restaurant

This was where we had our lovely breakfast buffet. And lunch. And dinner while we were at Tanjung Rhu. It was about 300 meters away from the rooms, having to walk by the hot beach as there were constructions and renovations in between.

This way to lunch!It certainly was hot there when exposed to the elements ....Thank God it can be quite windy at times ....Stopping over for lunch when we arrived ...No smoking. Good!Very friendly and helpful staffs - mainly Malaysians. Right next to it is a separate more formal fine dining restaurant. Right next to the pool were where we had dinner. Nice sea breeze. Great view and great food.

Relaxing drinks after sunsetAfter a long day ....Irfan wondering what that was ...Dinner was served ..... and it was nice!Time for breakfast ....Great selection on the buffet spread By the pool, they served Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food. We stayed a bit after dinner to enjoy the breeze, although I must stay it was still warm. Great evening.
