The Many Paths

One thing I noticed about Tanjung Rhu Resort was the many paths they had between the buildings. Most of them would be snaking along the beach. But those were really hot especially at noon.

During the night, the paths were well lit up, which was just as well as otherwise we would be struggling to find our way around. The problem was the renovation work right in between the main hotel rooms and the main restaurants.

EdpressSushi is Moving

I knew that I will be craving it during the upcoming Ramadhan, so I decided to indulge for lunch today at the usual spot at Great Eastern Mall.

The place was full today, being a Sunday lunch time, and we were also informed that our beloved EdpressSushi will be moving to another spot - which happened to be where one of our friend was living - after Raya later. They had been at the spot since 2009. Not sure if we could go there as frequently as we were doing now since the current shop was directly in front of the supermarket where we sometimes do our groceries. Kinda tied in with our routine.

I think he's trying to break the tip jar!Anyhow, they had to move on. Maybe once in a while we would drop by to catch up. The boys were still babies when they started going there.

Another Concert

Another year, and it was time for another concert. This time around, both Idlan and Irfan participated in the same dance routine and it was one of the earlier ones. Which meant we could make a quick escape soon afterwards.

This time around, the organisation was much better than yesteryears. We didn't have to wait long for the concert to start, and the speeches were pretty simple. In fact, it was only one speech I thought.

The venue was the same as before, at the HGH Convention Centre in Sentul. The place was recently upgraded and the facilities were lunch better than before. Parking however was still a hassle, but luckily we got our driver to sort that one out.

We were ready to go by about 11.30 and was back to the apartment before hoing out again for an early lunch. I had to go early since I had a meeting later in the afternoon as well as a dinner talk - which I decided to skip as to spend some time at home as well as taking my drone out for a weekend spin.

The Sunset Pool

This was a winner. Apart from the gorgeous beach - which were unfortunately hot most of the time, we found shelter at the cooling pool. It was big and shallow enough to be enjoyed by the whole family and there was also a cafe for pizza and drinks. And of course ice cream.

The shades - either from trees or roof - were a welcome, and it was open enough for the breeze to enter.

The view of the sunset here was gorgeous, hence the name. After the swim, we would just sit on the deckchairs admiring the vista. We ended up spending both late afternoons there in the pool and later walking by the beach to enjoy the setting sun ....

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.
