Picnic @ Kemensah

Last weekend we made an ad hoc plan to have a picnic at Kemensah, somewhere near Gombak located at the back of Zoo Negara.
My husband wanted to do something so I suggested to have a picnic and he suggested Kemensah. Never been there but hey, this is ADVENTURE all about!
We were in Puchong area on Saturday for a wedding and stopped by at Pasar Borong Sri Kembangan on the way back to get some stuff for BBQ. I went to Sri Ternak recommended by my aunt and got 2kg New Zealand lamb shoulder for RM45 and they can cut the meat for you. Burger bun and meat, sausages and yellow onions were also on the list and overall total RM is around RM70.

When my husband told the kids about the plan when we got home, Abang then asked 'Best ke Abah?' after he excitedly said "Yeay!" This is how I explained to him:
Me: Abang ingat tak masa kita pergi Krabi?
Abang: Ingat!
Me: Best tak?
Abang: Yang naik kapal terbang tu? Ingat! Ingat! (with excited face)
Me: Ha'ah. Tapi yang ni tak naik kapal terbang la. Sebelum pergi Abang tahu tak Krabi tu macam mana?
Abang: Emmm... tak tahu...
Me: Tapi Abang rasa best tak bila dah sampai sana?
Abang: Best!
Me: Hah, sama la macam ni. Kita tak pernah pergi sana tapi kita dah rasa best. Ni la namanya ADVENTURE!
Abang: Oooo......

So we took off at about 8.20am and reached there before 9.00am. The road was rather small and all the 'chalets' of 3 providers were fully booked.  I suggested we head to Janda Baik but my husband decided to just look for a spot because it is hard to get out (we had to reverse a long way when cars coming up as there were cars parked on both sides of the small road). We had no choice but to pick a spot behind where we parked our Estima which to me was nice but smeared by litter of ice cream wrappers and polysterine. Sigh but hey! Isn't this ADVENTURE all about?!

Apart from the unbelievable small road, I think the picnic was an A+! My mission to BBQ was accomplished, the kids had fun, the spot was safe enough (ignoring the litter) for the kids, truly a small adventure!

Kemensah also left its mark on my husband's Estima. Got it when he reversed on the side on the way down the road.

Thank you Allah!
