Having Friends Over For Lunch

On the last weekend of December, before we usher in the New Year, we had friends over for lunch. Once in a while it is nice to share our home cooked meals with friends and be blessed with encouraging fellowship. As usual, the day started with a morning walk at the park.

 Walking to stay fit and healthy

After our walk, I picked up some items from the mini market. Then we had breakfast in our usual coffee shop. For lunch, I cooked plain Teochew rice porridge and the following dishes. The rest were contributed by our friends.

 I made the above "melt-in-the-mouth" char siew (bbq meat).

This time, I reduced the amount of sugar used.

 Fried egg omelette with preserved radish and home grown spring onions.

 We love deep fried crunchy anchovies with porridge.

 Another is this store bought crunchy preserved radish.

The following 2 items were brought over by our friends.

 Arrow heads, leek, meat slices, etc, cooked by our friend.

 She also brought this packet of ice veggie bought from the wet market.

It is nice to have porridge during this dry and hot weather.

After lunch, we went walking in one of the nearby shopping mall. Before we went home, the four of us shared the following items for an early dinner in Sun Yin Loong at Aeon Big, Falim.

 Chicken curry in bread.

Steamed sponge cake spread with kaya or coconut jam.

A gossip goes around spreading rumors,

while a trustworthy man tries to quiet them.

(Proverbs 11:13, The Living Bible-TLB)
