A Visit To Aunty Moon and Uncle Kamil’s House

On our way back from Kuala Terengganu yesterday, we stopped at Zainun Nasi Ayam Satu for a brunch. Zainun Nasi Ayam Satu is a small restaurant in Kemaman that serves delicious chicken rice. Mum tried their rojak buah and rojak ayam which mum said were very tasty.

After out brunch, we visited our dearest Aunty Moon and Uncle Kamil whose house is less than 200m from the restaurant. Their beautiful bungalow was featured in Jan 2009 issue of ‘Anjung Seri’ – a popular magazine in Malaysia.2403200903924032009029

Aunty Moon’s house is surrounded by a beautiful garden. Entering the cosy living room, I saw Uncle Kamil’s collection of Shell’s model cars. From the living room we could see a long corridor that leads us to the other part of the house. On one side of the corridor there is a huge indoor fish pond with a small bridge that takes us to the dining room.240320090321

Aunty Moon handed us some bread to feed the fishes. My little blogging brother Ahmad Ali was really excited and squeled with delight whenever a fish rose to the surface to take a bite of the tiny pieces of bread that he threw into the pond. I guess the smallest fish is perhaps less than a centimetre long while the biggest might be longer than one foot long.

Aunty Moon and Uncle Kamil gave each of us a copy of Reader’s Digest book from the Select Editions Series. Each book is a compilation of four novels. I had just finished reading ‘The Broker’ by John Grisham. The other three novels in my book are Sam’s Letter To Jennifer by James Patterson, Blood Memory by Greg Iles and Mosaic by Soheir Khashoggi. What makes the books so special to all of us are the beautiful, loving words written by Aunty Moon in the each of the books to each of us.

It was raining heavily when we left the house and we giggled while running in the rain towards dad’s car. Aunty Moon wanted us to use her umbrellas but of course it is more fun to ‘play’ in the rain – after all it is not something we can do everyday!

  1. Salam. You really make me miss Malaysia!! Wish I were there! All the fresh seafood. I too miss the taste of Malaysian chicken . hahah. Here in Derry,Northern Ireland we dont have that much varieties of seafood in the supermarket. Even if we have they tend to slice it into fillet that I miss seeing real fish!! Haha But the brown crab here is sooooo Big! and the taste too is quite sweet .

  2. Dearest Teacher Jehan,

    Salam. Your hubby might be an Algerian but he still misses Nasi Lemak didn’t he? Well, mum is a Malaysian but she misses (infact not just her but all of us) the clam chowder we ate at Pier 39, Fisherman’s Wharf… hahaha.
    Anisah was so excited when she saw your 2 comments. Ali hasn’t seen his yet. Thank you for visiting my blog and dropping a comment on the way. I really miss you. Wassalam.
