Raya Open Houses

Awesome! We had 3 days of holidays when Malaysia was celebrating Hari Malaysia on Friday the 16th of September. The extended weekends were filled with hubby's friends' open houses (lost contact with my friends) at the other side of KL.

After the Friday prayer, we went to Nusaputra in Puchong and had nasi ayam and sate. It was hubby's schoolmate's house which wasn't that difficult to find should we had exited Putrajaya toll instead. Then we headed to Saujana Utama in Sungai Buloh via the kampung road to hubby's ex colleague's. We had nasi lemak and bihun goreng plus agar-agar and banana cake. The final journey of the day was to Bukit Jelutong near Shah Alam at late evening and we had mee bandung Muar, slices of mangoes finished with raya cookies and tea.

On Saturday we headed to Seri Pristana in Sungai Buloh (again) but the journey wasn't smooth because the map wasn't in GPS! We should have drove towards Saujana Utama in the first place because from there we can see the signboard to Seri Pristana! The place was crap but we managed to find the house and had nasi minyak with mutton curry, cheese tart and carrot cake. To make up for yesterday's 'fail to show up' at another ex colleague's, we continued to Bukit Jelutong (again) just to say hi. On the way back home we tried the new Latar, exited at Selayang but the traffic was horrible! Lucky the GPS helped us to get back on track via the kampung road (again!). The night was supposed to end with PV raya feast but the organiser failed to be on time (as usual!) so we had our dinner at a restaurant instead.

We didn't travel far on Sunday because the open house was in Keramat. Although it rained cats and dogs we got there in time for bihun sup, bihun goreng and most of all I got to eat lemang! The popia basah and biskut batik were really awesome! There was another open house in Nilai but enough is enough. Nilai was too far and no doubt the traffic was horrible at that point of time. If we had decided to go we might not arrive home before 8 pm and hubby got to go to work tomorrow.
