Due to our current hot weather, I have been spending less time in the garden. So far, most of the plants in the garden are doing quite well.
I don't know the name of the above plants. They look like little daisies.

No home cooking again. The warm weather is a good excuse to be lazy.
We had dinner with a friend at Restaurant Marpoh in Ipoh Garden.
Deep fried chicken with sticky honey sauce.
Deep fried pork belly with brinjals (eggplant).
Green Amaranth soup with fried garlic and dried shrimps.
They even add century egg in the soup.

Then they cried to the Lord in their troubles,
and he rescued them! He led them from the darkness
and shadow of death and snapped their chains.
Oh, that these men would praise the Lord
for his loving-kindness and for all of his wonderful deeds!
For he broke down their prison gates of brass
and cut apart their iron bars.
(Psalm 107:13-16, The Living Bible-TLB)

ReplyDeleteDinner looked good but no century egg for me. First time seeing century egg in soup.
Some cooks do not add century egg but this one does.

Century egg is traditionally prepared by preserving it in a mixture containing charcoal and quicklime for several weeks or months, eaten as a delicacy in China.
