DHL PEN CSE BBQ Outing at Tanjung Bungah Beach

Finally... I'm done with the photos... This is like a couple of weeks back when my department organized a BBQ outing as we rarely have time for outings or so... and also because we work on Saturdays, so it's a little bit hard to even organize a trip... a quarter of the team could not attend though as they have some stuffs to do and have to forgo this outing.... The BBQ lunch outing was at Tanjung Bungah beach... near the previous Crown Price / Crown Jewel Hotel. We manage to get this place.. I'm not sure if we rented the place or what.. as one of my colleagues kinda know the ppl there.. there's this little hut place called DO RE MI Cafe where they do operate during normal times till late. They have shaded area and also prepared bbq pit, tables and chairs  for us....

Initially, it should start at 12:00 noon... I send Codie boy for grooming at Dogs R' Us and thought I was late already as I reached around 2 pm. Manatau,  I was the second one to arrive. One of my colleagues arrived with her 2 kids awaiting for the rest to come. We decided to bring the things to the place first since no point us waiting at the parking place....

Others manage to arrive minutes later.... then we started to arrange all the food stuffs and get the fire started... weather was pretty good.. sunny and sea breeze was luckily, not hot... days back before this outing was raining cats and dogs after lunch hours....

The cafe people were really helpful and nice. They even helped us when we kinda burn the first batch of chicken due to the strong breeze... muahahaha... maybe they don wan to see us waste more food... or maybe scared we burn the place down :P

Kids were happy, playing around and in the end all went into the water for a cooling dip... food were yummy and really a lot, so we ended up bringing some each home.

Photos overload below... hahaha... let the photos do the talking....

10 Do Re Mi Cafe... they have this small hut decorated nicely with shells and dead coral pieces... they have huge trees around, so it's not very hot there.....

11 Bigger shade area where they place tables and chairs and BBQ pit next to it...

1 My colleagues's mom cooked the chicken curry and the fried bee hoon... very yummy... just a lil bit oily.. kekeke.. one of the managers proudly promoting how sweet the watermelon is... because he's the one who slice it.... and keropok ikan...

13 Mr Meow with blue eyes... haha.. this one I know it's a he, cos I saw his balls :P He will sit there while we eat, he don't beg but just wait for us to give him some... his eyes very sui... and he looks clean... i think the cafe ppl own him...

14 Near the cafe, are residences... and they have they back yard facing the beach.. how nice... beach houses!! Then i saw from far a lady and her 3 dogs playing by the beach....i took a stroll to have a closer look... then met another chinese couple with their terrier... she is very cute!! and hiao too.. the when the male boxer go near her, she will lie down as if like she's saying "Come on baby!" wahahahaa.. but very cute.. beh tahan... The boxer, and the mother daughter doggies (black one is mommy to the cream one) owns by a Caucasian lady...

15 She's a very nice lady.... she owns one of the beach houses and her daughter and son-in-law owns next door... the boxer belongs to her daughter... the other 2 belongs to her... She an American but moved to Peru at the age of 2, then moved around Indonesia, Philippines and few countries I cannot remember... And in the end she settled down here with her family... she have been staying here for over 10 years...
