Our church worship celebration usually ends around 12 pm. After church, my friend and I will go for our lunch and a time of fellowship before we go home. Last week, we ended up at Kedai Makanan Mee Sun, Tingkat Taman Ipoh 6, Ipoh Garden South, Ipoh.
Most of the morning stalls have closed. We decided to order from this stall near where we were seated.
No problem if we cannot read Chinese. We can just point to the pictures.
This was my friend's order - Prawn noodle or Hokkien mee - RM5 (approx.1.20 USD). I have tasted this prawn noodle before, so this time I wanted to try something else.
I ordered this bowl of curry noodle - RM5 (approx. 1.20 USD). Both noodes were quite good and tasty.
Enjoying the sky view on my way home after sending my friend back to her house.
Later in the afternoon, I ate some of my homemade pickles. They consist of carrots, cucumbers, preserved salted mustard (char choy), white raddish and young ginger. I used sugar and apple cider vinegar to make the pickles. Munching on the crunchy pickles is good exercise for my gums and jaws.
While I was at a car tire shop, I saw this beer cans windmill spinning away above where I was seated.
I converted an old Singer sewing machine pedal stand into a base for my pot of Begonia plant. Hubby placed a slab of black marble over the stand to support the flower pot.
I used some leftover paint to paint over the old metal stand.

He will show you a way out so that you can endure.

Would loves to try the curry noodle...
ReplyDeleteI like the curry noodles, it is not very oily.
DeleteYour plant stand is a good idea..one way to utilise the stand of the Singer Sewing machine. One of the Hotels in the north of our State has several of those as dinning room tables, but of course with tablecloths.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Margaret. I also like the idea of using the stand for dining room tables. Now, if I have an extra stand. Lol!
DeleteLove the hanging beer cans, so different. Have a good day Diane
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diane. I am thinking of trying to make one.
DeleteI like how you converted the Singer machine pedal stand for your plants. Very creative. If I know I would not have thrown away mine.
ReplyDeleteI too have thrown away many old things and later regret doing so. If only we knew about their usefulness.
DeleteI love what you did with that old sewing machine stand! So creative, Nancy.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie. Have a wonderful day!
DeleteNice flower stand. Good idea to recycle your sewing machine stand.
ReplyDeleteCurry noodle would be my option but need to be careful when you eat wearing white.
Thank you, Rose. Must remember not to order curry noodles when wearing white.
DeleteExcelente trabalho e fotografias.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.
Thank you, Francisco. Have a beautiful day!
DeleteNancy, I love pickles. I must make some too for munching :D Your Begonias look very lovely sitting on top of the old sewing machine.
ReplyDeletePhong Hong, I love to munch and I thought pickles would be a better and healthier option than fried snacks.
DeleteYou eat the pickles on its own?
ReplyDeleteThe converted Singer stand is very nice.
Hi Stacy, I ate pickles on its own. Eating with the century egg would be delicious.
DeleteThe singer stand is stunning, I am in the process of making one into a table. Love the sound of your pickles.
ReplyDeleteI would love to make one into a table too if I have an extra stand. The pickles is very delicious.
DeleteThe prawn mee looks delish.... Hard to get a good one in Ipoh :)
ReplyDeleteThere are a few places that serve delicious prawn mee in Ipoh.
DeleteWonderful photos! And I love vintage Singer sewing machines. Interesting re-use of the base of one.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anne. Have a wonderful day!
DeleteHi Nancy,
ReplyDeleteI sure love to have a bowl of prawn noodle that looks yummy. Like the creative cans spinning. So creative of you to convert the sewing machine pedal stand as base for plant.
Thank you, Karen. The idea of converting the sewing machine pedal stand was because I had a spare stand. I am really glad I didn't gave it away.
DeleteYour prawn mee so delicious...
ReplyDeleteI love prawn mee and this one is quite tasty.
DeleteOh I want to try the prawn needle too!
ReplyDeleteWhenever I see prawn noodles, I want to try them.
DeleteI missed all those delicious food while I was away. Glad to be back to it. And your old sewing table makes a great plant stand. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Erika. It will also make good table stand.
DeleteI always leave your blog feeling hungry!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ladyfi. I hope you enjoy and continue to visit my blog.
DeleteYour old sewing machine makes a wonderful plant stand. The food looked delicious, also your homemade pickles. A gorgeous cloudy sky and how inventive to make a windmill out of beer cans.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Denise. I am now very interested in trying to make a windmill out of soda cans.
DeleteNancy...Your plant created an optical illusion for me. At first I thought it was cut wood for the fireplace, but then i wondered how the old machine could hold all of that weight without falling over. But you said it was a begonia plant so I looked more closely and saw it. What a neat way to use the old singer stand. I really like the wind chimes. It must have taken a lot of time to cur out all of those pieces so perfectly from the cans.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Genie. After reading about the optical illusion, I went back to take a look at my photo and I know what you meant. I too realized that it took a lot of time to cut out all those pieces. I am now very interested in wanting to try too.
DeleteThat beer can creation is a hoot! I like the singer based plant stand. I also like the scripture you shared.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ellen. I am interested in creating the can windmill one day.
DeleteNancy, I also have the old singer stand -my late Mom's belonging. That's really a great idea to modify it as a plant stand.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lina. It also makes great table stand.
DeleteBeautiful post dear! Have a great week! xx
