That Lunch

With the new highway called LATAR, the journey from my parents’ place in Gombak to Kuala Selangor had been cut from 2 hours before to half that. Yesterday - as I was free, I decided to take them for lunch there. Luckily one of the driver was free and I had the chance to just chill out on the journey.

I though the crab looked smaller ....Thats the one ...Airy ....Time to orderWe left rather late as I had some things to do at the hospital that morning. We finally arrived at the restaurant at around 1.30. The crowd was still building up at the time. But the cook there was really efficient, and despite the crowd, we got our food quite fast as we were already hungry when we arrived.

Getting readyFresh fish coming in from the seaNeeded some spicing up ....The food were finally here ...We ordered a couple kilograms of crabs, some prawns and fish as well as vegetables. And true to our word, we finished them all. The crab was fresh but the highlight must have been the garoupa. It was exceptional!

And the aftermathIt was too warm to walk around. Anita shelved the idea of walking around to buy salted fish. It only took me 10 minutes before going to sleep at the back of the car …..

At Kuala Selangor

As I don't have any clinics, I decided to head out to Kuala Selangor for lunch. Anita and her parents came along. The boys decided to have the morning in bed. And we had our driver to do the driving, so I could just chill on the way there and back.

The food was still excellent and pretty fast despite a decent crowd at the restaurant. The garoupa proved to be a hit and my Dad in law managed to finish it off including the head.

A nice sea breeze to top things off. Now it was time to head home. More to write later.

Back to KL

It was a smooth drive home. We set off just after noon after the boys had their late breakfast. No drama on the way down and it took me around 90 minutes to reach Gombak.

We were starving when we finally reached KL. We went straight to Sakura Kristal and had our late lunch. Tired, heading home next toned it all the photos and videos.

Sunday at Maju Junction

We planned to have a look at MARA Digital last Sunday lunchtime and were deciding on where to park. Traffic was light though but sometimes you might get trapped in long queues. We do not mind a bit of walking.

In the end, we parked at the basement of Maju Junction and as we walked up, we noticed a nice cosy eating area run by Parkson. A nice surprise indeed as the place appeared to be well maintained and the food were reasonable. Not crowded at all for a Sunday Afternoon. Easy decision.

I had some nasi ayam"Real Food, Real People"Everything was nice and cleanMaking our way across to MARA DigitalI had some nasi ayam and Anita had some noodles. Next came the walk to the next block to Medan MARA where MARA Digital was located. We would definitely park here again. Access in and out of the car park was also quite straight forward ….

Birthday Lunch

From my MRSM days, I have a friend who was born on the same day as I am. Each year we wished each other Happy Birthday. A couple of years back, he was taken ill but has since been making good recovery. Since it was right after Raya and I was on a long break, I asked if we could out for lunch.

I also had a friend coming back for a short break from New York, and invited him to join with our parents. Unfortunately my "twin" couldn't make it, but we had a fabulous time with my other friend none the less.

The venue was one of our favourite joint, a Arab restaurant - Al-Halabi - at Pavilon. I thought I eat too much there and spent the afternoon sleeping .... Might as well as the EURO 2016 Final would be later on that night .....

Will be planning another lunch next year hopefully and this time I would make sure that he can join ....
