JI65 GATHERING AT RESTOREN CIK NAN ON
MONDAY, 9TH FEBRUARY 3009 |
|

It all started over the dining table at
Dr.Jalal's nice and comfortable house at Jalan Utara, Petaling
Jaya on the afternoon of Sunday,
18th January 09, where we were enjoying the delicious "nasi
briani gam", "laksa Johor" and other delicacies prepared by Yuha,
Dr. Jalal's
wife . At that time, we were there to view his
exquisite
collection of antiques. Except for Amek (for reasons best
known to himself), the other members of JI65 (Jubli Intan 65) - Arbans
(Rahim Abdullah), Ad (Fuad Rahman), Jed (Aziz Ishak), Wan Jah
(Wan Hamzah), Bab (Anuar Ismail) and
me (Roslan) - brought along our spouses for the occasion too. Among
the topics of discussion was to hold the next gathering at Gob's
restaurant in Senawang. Arbans mentioned
that Gobs had moved his restaurant to a new premise at Senawang
and somebody suggested that we should hold our next gathering
there as a show of support for his business. Arbans
good-naturedly agreed to organise the gathering..
Arbans, being a great organiser, soon managed to get about 50
names from members of Jubli Intan 65 to show interest to attend
the gathering. He even managed to find a suitable date, Monday, 9th February 09 which was a Public Holiday (Thaipusam) to hold the gathering.
Sunday the 8th of February 09 was a Thaipusam day and therefore the following day was a public holiday too. The menu
as agreed was to be the "Noghori" Sembilan dish. The lunch was
to start at 12.30 pm and end at 4.30 pm. |

I went to the restaurant with my youngest son, Anuar.
My wife, Salmiah could not accompany us as she had to go back to
Dungun after receiving a sad
news that her auntie
had passed away that morning. When I arrived, Arbans, Dr.Hanif, Shahein, Dr.Jalal,
Dato' Musjal, Bakaq and Ali Johar had either finished or about
to finish their lunch. Ali looked like he needed some sleep,
but he managed to hang on to his chair. Thank God that Gobs had
purchased heavy-duty plastic chairs for his restaurant
because lower-quality plastic chairs had been known to give way
and collapse. Ali must have had a hearty
lunch before my arrival. I almost couldn't recognise Musjal with
all his thick beard. However his voice gave his identity away.
I had forgotten how Shahein looked like -he joined MCKK at
Lower Six and that was the year that I went to Brighton,
U.Kingdom to further my studies. That day I managed to meet him again. Doc Haniff
asked him to ask me how many children I have. After telling him
that I have 14 children, I couldn't quite hear what his comments
were
before I
excused myself to go up to the first floor to join Ad, DSL and
Gobs to perform solat zuhur. I understand that, led by Dr.Jalal
as the imam, Amek and Dr. Haniff had performed their solat
earlier. After performing the solat, we went down to help ourselves to the food.
The "lauk-lauk" that were served that day were truly "Noghori"
("Minang"'s slang for "Negeri") in
nature -
1."Gulai Kuning Ayam Kampung" and "Ikan Masin Genting"
2."Sambal Tempoyak Daun"
3."Ikan Sembilang Goreng Berlado" and "Gulai Pisang
Mudo
4."Sambal Belacan dan Ulam-ulam."
5."Rendang Daging Masak Rembau."
(Don't ask me to
translate them all in English, please)
I enjoyed the delicious food very much and told myself
that I should come to this restaurant more often in the near
future. After taking the food, we moved about and chatted
with each other. I
overheard Ad
suggesting to Gobs to install a wi-fi and a TV projector to
encourage more customers to patronise his restaurant. In the
meantme, Dr. Halim and I made ourselves busy taking photographs. |

Not long after, the JI65 golfers finally arrived.
Though a few
initially got lost, they all finally managed to find the
restaurant. While they helped
themselves to the food, the others who already had their food, were
served with delicious "teh tarek kurang manis." Not long after,
Bab grabbed the microphone. We thought he's going to sing
karaoke to get the ball rolling or at least called Dr.Jalal to sing an A.Ramli's song,
but it was not to be. He briefed us about the 44-year
anniversary celebration to be held in Kuala Kangsar from October
16 to October 18, 2009. He also mentioned about the Coffee-Table
Book Project and encouraged all members of JI65 to contribute at
least an article each. He then called upon Bakaq, the Chief
Editor, to come on stage to elaborate more
about the project. Bakar said to us that we should assume that the book is like a piece
of magazine with interesting articles, jokes and plenty of
photos. He said that we could write on any subjects we like except
those that go against Islamic teachings. |

On behalf of JI65 members,
we would
like to thank Dato Sani for his generous contribution towards
reimbursing for the food expenses. A special thank-you also to Arbans
for organising the get-together at Restoren Nan successfully. It is
hoped that in future, members of JI65 would frequent Restoran Cik
Nan more often, especially those staying at Negeri Sembilan. Those who are
staying in Selangor and K.Lumpur travelling to the South are
encouraged to drop by the restaurant for dinner, lunch or tea on
the way there and/or back. Over the weekend or Public Holiday,
you can also take a drive with your family or friends to have lunch or dinner there.
You can visit Restoran Cik Nan
website or call Gobs at 012-651 8451
if you need further information. |
