Dim Sum Breakfast On A Hazy Morning

Haze, haze, haze! I really miss the early morning fresh air and the clear blue sky that we have taken for granted. Our early morning walking exercise has been put on hold because of the haze. The only good thing is that we need not have to get up so early.
On this particular morning, we were getting ready to visit a friend in hospital.
Our friends came to pick us up from our house.
Haze being our common topic these days.
First we had dim sun for breakfast at Restoran Foh San.
This is my first visit since it relocated from its former place.
Our friend rinsing the tea cups with hot water and making Chinese tea with special tea leaves brought from his home.
First time seeing savoury yam cake served in a bowl.
2 red hot and spicy chilies stuffed with fish paste.
4 big fish balls for 4 people. 
1 steamed bun with BBQ pork filling (char siew pau).
2 steamed bamboo charcoal buns with yam paste filling.
Halved the bun to show the yam paste filling. I like this!
We were blessed with a dim sum breakfast treat by our friends.
On our way home after the hospital visitation.
When, O when will the haze go away.....?
When will we be able to see this clear blue sky again.....?
When, O when can we get to breathe clean, fresh air again.....?

Linking to Good Fences and Skywatch Friday.

An honest witness does not lie;
a false witness breathes lies,
(Proverbs 14:22, NLT)

  10. I see foh shan has improved on the presentation of its dim sum. I have never been to the new building after they have moved. Hope your friend in the hospital is ok. I want good air to breathe again.

  11. How nice to be treated by your friends for breakfast. This may sound weird but do people not eat stuff like, eggs, bacon, toast, cereal for breakfast there? - Those rolls sounded interesting.
    Loved that last fence, it has such a pretty pattern.

    1. Ida, thank you. Over here we do eat stuffs like eggs, bacon, toast, cereal, etc. for breakfast but usually we do that at home, it can be easily cooked. I think compared to our local breakfast, Western breakfast over here are more expensive.
