Let’s start with me. Setting the stage and then painting a narrative.
Image 1 is a notification from the work place. Lifts not working. Stairs are definitely accessible and usable should we be on the single digit floors. But there is a mezanine floor. And the Firm is on the 17th floor. So...walking up will involve pulled muscles, cramps, groans, shouts, complaints, or all of the above. I say this from personal experience.
Against that backdrop, we (instead of heading to the Firm) decided to instead just have a nice meal. Where we can all take the time to catch-up and laugh.
Our agreed location bears a lot of meaning and context.
Yaasin Jamal has been a strong advocate of Suki-Ya. When we discovered there was an outlet in Pavilion Damansara, we happily informed him.
Then the lunch happened. He recommended dishes. He advocated the proper way to cook and eat our meals.
The takeaway point for me was that he gladly and happily offered to make what I believe is the best ever created sauce...EVER.
So here’s to the newly created hotpot-group of people comprising Yaasin Jamal, Lai Zhi Ru, Zarif Izzat, Jas Lim, Jie Wei Yew, Nur Nadrah Imani.
WOOOOT WOOOOT
