Family Day


Sundays are proclaimed as "Family Day" by the residents of Danau Kaseh. This means that barring any emergencies, the day must be spent as a family. We would normally eat out for breakfast (the kids would take turns to choose the venue), then we go jalan-jalan for the day (sometimes even to KL), eat lunch out (read - fast food) & come back home in the evening to spend the rest of Sunday at home (sometimes doing last minute homework!). Well, yesterday was the day before Ramadhan & it was the last Family Day out for breakfast & makan-makan!
It's Adlina's choice of venue for breakfast & she chose her favourite place which we call the "Roti Canai shop behind Jusco". Yesterday, (after having had breakfast there on many occasions for the past 2 years) we just realized that the gerai has a name: Its called "Brown Black Blues Cafe"! Haha :-D 
Many people frequent this place for the mee goreng which is famously known as "Mee Bodoh" because it is so simply cooked with just taugeh, but it is so delicious! (Mesti ada some secret recipe..). I'm a HUGE fan of the Mee Bodoh. SEDAP! The roti canai there is also one of the best in town. Light, soft & crispy. 
Papa had both the Mee & Roti canai... It is after all the last time we are having breakfast there for the next one month.
After breakfast, we all went to Mahkota Parade, straight to Meglio for haircuts. This is a monthly routine now. For the very first time though, Adlina had a hairwash in a salon & it was quite exciting for her.
(Actually, the hairwash was rather necessary as Adlina poured Johnson's baby oil on her hair the day before..) 
Anas is getting better at sitting still for haircuts. He now enjoys this monthly trip to the hair salon as he feels pampered by the hairdresser!

When it was time to go home, we made the mandatory stop at Big Apple Donuts. The kids are now addicted to these donuts.. If you've never tried them out, I would recommend these flavours: Chocoholic, Cuppocino & Alien... Yummy!

Selamat menyambut Ramadhan Al-Mubarak & semoga amalan kita di bulan yang mulia ini diberkati Allah.

Dil, we call the breakfast place kedai mee Sarip!!! The owners, Abg Sarip yang dok speaking omputih tu, and his wife, Kak Kasmah the tukang goreng mee, used to work at my datuk's bookshop. In fact they were like my grandparents' anak angkat. Kalau I pergi situ, bak kata Zul pun, "Habis satu Bukit Bruang tahu nama wife I..." he he he..because they'd be welcoming us and calling my names like "Tati punya dah buat?""Eh, Tati punya nescafe tarik.." Tati this, Tati that..!! What a small town we have here, Dilla!!

La Tati! What a small world!
Yes, pakcik tu memang speaking omputih dengan anak2 I bila ambik order! They are so nice & sekarang ni after frequenting the place so often, diaorang dah tahu dah apa our usual orders (eg: Roti canai dengan gula, tak mahu kuah..). I never knew their names. Nanti after Raya when we go there, I will call them by their names & tell them that I am Tati's friend!

Happy Fasting :-)

Hello Rizal,
Pasar Ramadhan yang paling selalu kami kunjungi ialah di Bukit Peringgit (depan hospital Melaka). Awak cuba Nasi Beryani (stall paling hujung dekat Trafik Light). Best..

Selamat berbuka!
