After both my sons went back to work, I still have plenty of food stocked up in the fridge. That means the cook cannot take leave but have to continue to cook to clear the stock. Here is one of the home cooked lunches.
Fresh Crystal or Ice Vegetable
I like to eat crystal vegetable with Kewpie roasted sesame dressing.
Plain stir fried fresh mushrooms with snow peas, ginger slices and garlic.
Fried Stuffed Fish with spicy paste. I cut off too much of the tail, so not very presentable. I only know this fish as Ikan Cencaru (in Malay). My elder son brought back 10 fishes from his fishing trip when he came back for the Chinese New Year celebration.
Leftover 3 pieces of steamed waxed duck (hubby love this).
Steamed a little multi-grain rice for hubby.

The photo (below) was taken at the National Museum.
The Pangkor Treaty
The following photos were taken in my garden.
In one of my earlier posts, I shared about a pink hibiscus coming out from a yellow hibiscus plant. After the flower wilted and dropped off, I noticed another pink bud (above) from the same stem.
This is same plant as the pink hibiscus but all this time, it only has yellow hibiscus with multi layer petals.
This is another yellow hibiscus but the petals are in single layer. You can see the leaves in this picture is different from the previous two photos.
Long ago God spoke in many different ways to our fathers
through the prophets, in visions, dreams, and even face to face,
telling them little by little about his plans.
But now in these days, he has spoken to us through his Son
to whom he has given everything and through whom
he made the world and everything there is.
(Hebrews 1:1-2, The Living Bible-TLB)
Such a yummy meal! Crystal vegetable is so good for hotpot :-))
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried crystal vegetable with hotpot. So far, I eat it raw.
DeleteYour hibiscus reminds me of my pink dogwood. Some years it is almost white. It had damage when it was young, and I always think that had something to do with it.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rose. Can never fully grasp the wonders of nature.
DeleteA happy meal for sure. I love all your food.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about the treaty either. Thanks for a history lesson.
Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday, Nancy. ♥
Thank you, Sandee. Happy Tuesday!
DeleteGorgeous Hibiscus, they are my favorite in this post. Like a visit from the sun!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginny.
DeleteAre the ice vegetables home grown or bought? They look so fresh!
ReplyDeleteThe single layer yellow hibiscus flower looks gorgeous too.
I bought the ice vegetables. I did try to sow some ice vegetable seeds but it was not successful.
DeleteFlowers seems wonderful 😊 thanks for your sharing 😊

Thank you, Paul. The tail is only for presentation.
DeleteYellow hibiscus looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear.
Delete...crystal vegetables are new to me. Unfortunately, The Pangkor Treaty was never a part of World History in my high school, I sure learn a lot from blogging. I have never seen a hibiscus like your last one, it looks like a rose. Thanks Nancy for your visit, I hope that you are enjoying your week.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom. Have a great week!
DeleteI must look out for crystal vegetable. I must try it to see how it tastes.
ReplyDeleteI love it, very nice and crunchy.
DeleteMore exotic (to me) and delicious looking food, a history lesson, and a great verse.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!!
Thank you, Yogi.
DeleteInteresting history. I guess British Resident sounded like a fine job until things got unpleasant.
ReplyDeleteNeed to read through to refresh my history knowledge.

ReplyDeleteVery beautiful hibiscus. The color of this flower is unusual))))
Thank you, Victoria.
DeleteYum! Yum! Yum! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear.
DeleteI have yet to taste ice vege too like many here. The hibiscus does look a bit like rose. How many more meals do you need to cook to clear your fridge?
ReplyDeleteIt will all depends on the type of menu and how I choose to cook with whatever I have in the freezer.
DeleteHold on, I will be there any moment to help you eat the food that is left, it looks fabulous. Cheers Diane
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diane. If only you are staying nearer here.
DeleteThose figurines look amazing, hehe! ☃❄❅

DeleteYou cook such lovely meals, and i really like your flowers.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mimi.
DeleteI'd planned to go to the National Museum, then hubby got it into his head that we shouldn't look at dead things during CNY. (Supposedly should look at happy things) Later I shall go and see what dead things are displayed in this museum haha.
ReplyDeleteThe plant is going back to normal? Heh.
Now that CNY is over, you can take the girls to the National Museum. My hibiscus plants are now happy getting lots of sunlight.
DeletePretty blooms!
ReplyDeleteThank you, William.
