Feasting in Festive Style

On Wednesday of this week,  Restoran Tasik Limbongan's managing partners got together to celebrate the leasing of their Cafe-Bistro styled restaurant to an entrepreneur in Johor. In celebrating the coming together of these two separate entities a simple makan for the two parties was conducted with yours truly and family invited to record the cementing of the deal for posterity.
With all his immediate family members and grandchildren present,  my friend, Tn Hj Moidu and his partners got together in the happy spirit of conviviality and joy by sitting and enjoying a well deserved meal together.

A very progressive  individual, Moidu has been my constant supporter for many years now much to his wife's consternation as not only is he many years my elder, he is also a Kerala Muslim and much respected leader within his community; whereas I am ...me.
Both Moidu and I seem to enjoy a fellowship that transcend age and religion which is what melaka and malaysia is all about , if you were to ask me... as it allows people of differing age, race and culture to participate and respectfully enjoy each other's companion ship without ulterior motives.
Rojak ala Mamak 


Michelle and mummy as usual, enjoyed the food and festive dinner spirits, but not as much as they enjoyed the food, of course !
Murtabak Ayam- large enough for 5 persons !


Uttapam with Yellow Dhal Curry side dish

Basmati Rice Nasi Minyak 

Tandoor styled chicken in sauce

The Host - Tn Hj Moidu and his partners

Kari Kerbau, supposedly very tasty !




A truly enjoyable and eventful evening was made better with the kind hospitality and friendship showered on me and my family by Moidu and company. The highlight of which was a spectacular tea that was made specially for us to enjoy. Taking a sip of the minty brew, it blew my mind away for it's piquant clarity and sensual taste that kept you sipping till the last drop ! (The secret was in the powdered Kayu Manis that they used) .

Moidu 's place is located in Pantai Limbongan ,  and although this is one of his many restaurants, he's other places being in Rembau and KL, he never forgets to invite me and my family to his numerous get together's whenever he's in town...which is not often given his globe trotting habits !

What is a 'HINDU' ?

In 1995, Chief Justice P. B. Gajendragadkarwas quoted in anIndian Supreme Court ruling:

When we think of the Hindu religion, unlike other religions in the world, the Hindu religion does not claim any one prophet; it does not worship any one god; it does not subscribe to any one dogma; it does not believe in any one philosophic concept; it does not follow any one set of religious rites or performances; in fact, it does not appear to satisfy the narrow traditional features of any religion orcreed. It may broadly be described as away of life and nothing more.

Common Misunderstandings on Hinduism

Vedanta (and all Hinduism) is entirely monistic, believing only in the all-pervading world-soul, Brahman, rather than a personal God

This advaita philosophy is certainly popular, and offers a simple explanation of the many deities. Nonetheless, many theologians have considered God to be a person. He is not merely an anthropomorphic representation, nor are the various deities and murtis simply incarnations or representations of an impersonal Supreme.

Thus Hinduism includes both monism and monotheism. It is misleading to call the Abrahamic religions,"the monotheistic traditions," implying that monotheism is absent from the Eastern traditions. Vedanta includes many monotheistic schools. They may accept the existence of many gods and goddesses, but strongly emphasizes the pre-eminence of the Supreme Deity.
