Once again the haze is upon us. With the hot weather and haze, many of us are staying at home especially in the afternoon.
This was our morning sky. No more clear blue sky.
The sunrise was only a dull orange glow in the sky.
This was the type of sunrise we had last few days.
Can't even see the round orange sun.
Watching the gloomy sky.....
(Psalm 43:3-5, TLB)
O my soul, why be so gloomy and discouraged? Trust in God!
I shall again praise him for his wondrous help;
he will make me smile again, for he is my God!
I had a craving for Thai food and I googled the location of this place recommended by a friend and suggested to hubby. He agreed and together with a friend, we were here just before 6 pm and I think we were the first customers.
Mango salad with deep fried anchovies and onion rings.
Sweet sour and very appetizing.
Kai Lan green veggie stir fried with salted fish cubes.
Blanched or glass chicken claws salad - also very appetizing.
We started off first with these 3 dishes.
Finally, last dish - steamed "siakap yu" with tom yam soup.
It is Barramundi fish or Asian Seabass.
Cost of fish MYR 52 (approx. 13.27 USD).
Tom yam soup for the steamed fish served in a separate bowl.
The dish was sweet, sour and hot with lots of chili padi.
The steamed fish was kept warm over the charcoal heater.
Total cost of dinner for 3 people inclusive of rice and drinks
MYR 90.80 (approx. 23.18 USD)
A "black and white" guest came to visit my garden.
Thank you, Eileen for hosting Saturday's Critters.
It came for my Water Jasmine flowers.
It wouldn't stay still for me....
It was fluttering here and there.
It posed upside down for me...
Then it shifted a bit for me....
One last shot before it flew off to another location.
Happy weekend!
Linking to Saturday's Critters.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Eileen. The butterfly shots are the best I can get with my mobile phone camera. Have a happy weekend too!
DeleteI like the fish dish the best! I think on some days kl has the haze too. Is that a moth or butterfly? I don't know how to tell the exact difference though some says moths are not as colourful as butterflies. Have a nice Sunday tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteLol! Mun, I too do not know the difference between them. I can never tell the difference. Have a blessed Sunday tomorrow!

ReplyDeleteThank you, Debbie. I couldn't tell whether it was a butterfly or moth.

DeleteNancy, I love Thai food but it must not have to much cili padi because though I love it spicy, I cannot tahan if it is too pedas!
ReplyDeleteSame with me too. I have to pick out the chili padi because I accidentally bit a while chili padi and my tongue went numb!
DeleteNow I feel like having Thai food. Haha.
ReplyDeleteNice catch of the butterfly.
It looks hazy over there. Here is warm and occasional rain in the evening.
I am never tired of Thai food. We are hoping for rain to clear the haze. Have a fantastic new week!
DeleteFew days ago, there's a day there's haze too, where the news reported PSI 80 plus...
ReplyDeleteLast few days hardly any rain. Hoping for a downpour to clear the haze. Have a wonderful new week!
Deleteyou always features interesting things in your post absolutely beautiful pics

Thank you, Mahas. Have a beautiful new week!
DeleteYour butterfly pictures are good. They are not always easy to photograph. I think that most moths have fuzzy entenas and fuzzy bodies and butterflies have long antenas.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
JB
Thank you, Julia. Next time I must try to look carefully and hope to be able to differentiate between a butterfly and a moth. Hugs. Have a great new week!
DeleteThank you, Vildana. Have a happy new week!
ReplyDeleteOne thing I miss from Ipoh is Thai food. I didn't realise until moving to KL where it's expensive and generally not so good.
ReplyDeleteWe have a few Thai food restaurants. Some are quite expensive but some are reasonably priced.
