A friend has been telling us about this restaurant and suggested that we can go and try the food there when we are free. So 2 weeks ago, we were free to have dinner together.
Linking to Skywatch Friday.
Hubby and I went to pick up our friend from her house.
All along the way, I have been watching the sky. The setting sun was hidden by the cloud.
Then I was reminded of the saying about behind every dark cloud there is a silver lining.
The dark cloud represents our unpleasant or difficult time and the silver lining represents hope in something good. Romans 8:28 (TLB) - And we know that all that happens to us is working for our good if we love God and are fitting into His plans.
Slowly more light was shining from behind the cloud.
More light peeking through the cloud.
John 1:5 (NIV)
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Thanks to our friend, we found the restaurant along Jalan Pasir Pinji.
We were among the early birds and hungry ones too!
Stewed pork trotters - we finished all and almost cleared the gravy too.
Boiled old cucumber with pork rib soup - well cooked and flavourful.
Deep fried mantis prawn cooked with dried chilis and onions.
The taste was not quite to our liking.
Crunchy blanched iceberg lettuce with deep fried chopped garlic & oil.
Overall, the 3 of us had a very satisfying dinner
for the total cost of RM 39.10 (approx. 10.02 USD).

ReplyDeleteOrigin of clouds and sliver lining.
Every cloud has a silver lining John Milton coined the phrase 'silver lining' in Comus: A Mask Presented at Ludlow Castle, 1634
I see ye visibly, and now believe
That he, the Supreme Good, to whom all things ill
Are but as slavish officers of vengeance,
Would send a glistering guardian, if need were
To keep my life and honour unassailed.
Was I deceived, or did a sable cloud
Turn forth her silver lining on the night?
I did not err; there does a sable cloud
Turn forth her silver lining on the night,
And casts a gleam over this tufted grove.
Beautiful photos. Keep well Diane
Thank you, Diane for sharing this lovely poem by John Milton. Have a beautiful weekend!
Deleteeerie skies
ReplyDeleteHello Tom, eerie because of the dark clouds? Ha ha!
DeleteI like mantis prawn. What taste did you not like when eating the mantis prawn?
ReplyDeleteI don't know how to describe it, just that all 3 of us agreed on the same. Maybe it was not crispy, it was too soggy I think.
DeleteHello, the food looks delicious. Your sky shots are lovely. Pretty captures of the sunlight peeking out. Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eileen. Have a happy weekend!
DeleteLove the sky photos with silver lining. The sky makes such a nice tapestry upon which masterpieces are continually being painted every day. So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWow, the restaurant food is unbelievably cheap over there. Here in Canada, we always tip our the waiters and waitresses who serve our food at the table 15%. Do customers tip in your country?
Have a great weekend Nancy.
Hugs,
JB
Thank you, Julia. There is a 6% goods & service tax on the total cost and normally customers seldom tip when eating in same eatery. Most customers will only tip when dining in the big restaurants. Have a great weekend too!
DeleteGreat sky pictures, loved the verses you picked out alongside. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mamas. Have a lovely weekend!
DeleteLoved all the sky shots. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh the food. I love your food posts.
Have a fabulous day and weekend Nancy. ☺
Thank you, Sandee. Have a great weekend!
DeleteThe pork trotters dish look something like the dish we have in the Philippines, but I haven't had it in decades.

DeleteSuch beautiful sky shots! My best friend and I always loved clouds like that. We always talked about the silver lining, and also always quoted a couple lines from a poem...'Be still sad heart and cease repining, behind the clouds is the sun still shining.'
ReplyDeleteI like the words you quoted from a poem. It is an assurance that unpleasant times will not be forever. Have a wonderful weekend!
DeleteBeautiful sky shots.... very dramatic!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear. Have a great weekend!
Deletethat´s a weird sky. My favorite image is the first one :)
