A Myalgic Day

I got up this morning with a sore throat and muscle ache. Tried to ignore it but by the time I finished my shower, I had to take some paracetamol. It got a bit better, but by the time I reached ParkCity for my morning clinic after the rounds at SJ, I felt slow again.

The sore throat was less, and on the drive back from ParkCity, I decided to stop in Telawi for a quick lunch. Rather hungry.

Unfortunately I have a log day today. Clinic, then ward rounds followed by a meeting at KL Sentral. Then a lecture after that to listen to. God give me strength. But first, lets have some nasi lemak ....

Sushi Lunch

It had been a while since we been to Express Sushi at Great Eastern Mall. I had been writing and raving about the place since 2009, and this afternoon, my boys asked for their chicken teriyaki from the place. The food was still as good and fresh.

I had my belly and beef udon, while the boys had their usual. It took us a while waiting for Idlan to finish his bowl of rice. Good thing that we came early since we had to rush across town next for his swimming lesson.

Over the years, the quality had declined somewhat, although the ingredients were still fresh. The owner has since opened a restaurant at a golf club in town, and the main chef had since moved there. There was definitely a subtle change in the taste, but compared to other - often overrated - restaurants, this place was still hard to beat.

Usually, the journey from GE Mall to Bukit Kiara would take less than 20 minutes. Unfortunately, we were caught in the queue to get into PWTC for the MATTA. We just made it in time.

Irfan Was Seven

Being on call during the long Chinese New Year break as one thing, but being on call on my son's birthday was quite another. Irfan turned 7 yesterday, and although we planned to have a quite dinner together, but finding out that I was on call, my parents-in-law took the boys and Anita out for lunch.

After finding out about the plan, I devices one of my own. I finished my clinic on time, sorted out what needed to be finished in the ward and headed out into town to surprise them. I arrived at the restaurant about five minutes after they did. And was quickly spotted by Idlan.

Next came Irfan's surprise present. Can't tell you what that was ......

Lunch Delight

In the last couple of weeks, my Dad had been complaining of headache. He had also been laser on his diet - he loved his lamb - and ran out of his tablets. Sure enough, his blood pressure was up. So, I changed some of his treatment, as well as plan for a new pair of glasses for him. He needed a new prescription.

So, right after the clinic was done - Anita was present as well - we went out for lunch near the hospital. For some time, I had been wondering what the Kelantan Delights restaurant had to offer. There was where we went for lunch.

A nice restaurant, and the food and service was better than we expected. Our order came pretty fast - there were not that many patron there then - and the waiters were pretty attentive. And they were from Kelantan judging from their dialect, which was appropriate.

We ordered from the a la carte range, rice, vegetables, fried whole fish, some rendang as well as kerabu mangga. The place also offered set lunch if you were on the go, but since we wanted to share the food around, we did otherwise.

The fish was very nice, and so was the ayam percik. Kerabu was also better than expected and we finished everything. We even had desserts - against my advice, Dad had some tapai.

I would definitely be returning. I wasn't sure if the recommendation applied to all their branches - in have only visited the outlet at Subang Jaya so far. Service was quick and food was good. Price was not bad either - the set menu offered good value.

Sunday Lunch

Sundays are usually time that I Gert to spent with Anita and the family. But the day usually starts with a ward round first thing in the morning. The boys would usually still be asleep when I left. But last Sunday, they woke up early. They planned to join up with their buddies for a swim, and they started at ten in the morning. In the bright sunshine.

I went to join them in time for lunch after my rounds. They just left the pool then, with Anita trying to sort them out. Then it was time for lunch, with the parents of their buddies, who were members of the club - Kelab Darul Ehsan in Ampang.

The lunch at the cafe there was not that bad. We decided against the buffet - which was rather limited, and ordered from the menu instead.

The boys actually discovered that if they were to join a common network, they could turn their favourite game - Mine craft - they could enter each others world. A kind of a LAN party! The turned the cafe into a riot when they were playing. Irfan, Idlan and a couple other buddies roaming around. Noisy lot.

After lunch, the next activity for them was to feed the fish at the pond at the club. Another riot! They looked drained by the time we left close to tea time.
