Surprisingly, the journey from KL to Jasin last night was smooth without much traffic!
Today, we went to Tesco in Cheng to buy food stuff for the Hari Raya. Again. A pleasant surprise - when two trolley full only cost us RM630.
The purchase included lots of packet food stuff we want to bring to Saudi. Similar things would cost about thousand Ringgit in Jeddah!

The best surprise of all was at the Mumbai seafood this evening when I and my family hosted an Iftar for my mother in law and my BIL and his family of 11 children!
We ordered lots and lots!
Four tables were full of grilled fish of various species, crabs, squids, cockles, kupang, and prawns.
Before the bill came, my wife told me to be ready with a least a eight hundred Ringgit!
Guess what? The bill was RM430!

The food was fresh and tasty! It was satisfying to see the children, ours and BIL's, enjoying every dish and finished everything.
We adults enjoyed ourselves too, no body was counting cholestrol tonight, which was great!!

ReplyDeleteThe last time we were in Umbai was decades ago when we visited our friends in Merlimau Melaka so I can't even visualize the Umbai of now.
Things are relatively cheaper here when you are used to buying things at a much higher rate but earning a high income over there. For us here who earns much less in Ringgit, the numerous increase in price of goods seems to put many things out of our reach. Eating out is one of them and RM200 which used to be a lot of money can't even fill up a shopping trolley. Enjoying a ride on our highways and some improved roads that used to be free will entail some extra expense when the road tolls add up more than the cost of the fuel.
Enjoy yourself while you are here.
