Hong Kong Chee Cheong Fun & Herbal Soup Pan Mee

Today is the 4th day confined to the house. Not really a total one because hubby went out to the nearby shop to buy bread and eggs for our breakfast. This afternoon, I drove out to town to make some payment through the ATM machine at the bank. The whole place was very quiet with only a few cars on the road.

For the past few days, we have been having half boiled eggs, bread with peanut butter or jam with hot milo or coffee. As for tomorrow's breakfast, hubby has requested for burger for his bread. For the time being, all 3 main meals will be prepared in my kitchen until the movement control order is lifted. Pray that the situation will not worsen.

Here are 2 types of breakfast that I took before we were house bound:
1st breakfast - Hong Kong Chee Cheong Fun
This is steamed flat rice noodle with bbq pork as filling, served with soy sauce and spicy sambal paste. I took this one day after I had my tooth extracted.
2nd breakfast - Pan Mee in Herbal Soup (Lui Cha Pan Mee).
I love this herbal soup noodle but hubby would not even want to touch it.
This is unsweetened coffee with evaporated milk (Kopi C Kosong). I used to drink coffee everyday but now, I am cutting down on my coffee intake.
When I was watering my plants, this big grasshopper suddenly flew out of the Water Jasmine plant and landed on the wheel of my car. It didn't move even after I took this snapshot.

Linking to Saturday's Critters.

Because of his great power he rules forever.
He watches every movement of the nations.
O rebel lands, he will deflate your pride.
Let everyone bless God and sing his praises;
for he holds our lives in his hands,
and he holds our feet to the path.
(Psalm 66:7-8, The Living Bible-TLB)

    1. Thank you, Eileen. Instead of drinking coffee everyday, I only drink about once or twice a week. Hope to maintain it this way so as not to get addicted to it. Have a great week.

  5. At first i was wondering why the pan mee soup looks so green, then saw that it is lui cha pan mee soup. Had tried lui cha once, not really into it.

    1. We are all feeling alone in our house bound condition because we miss meeting our friends and love ones. We can still stay connected through social media and phone calls. Stay healthy and stay safe.

  22. I love chong fan (how we call it here in Chinatown Manila). The sauce makes it so much tastier!

    I so miss your blog Nancy, Haven't been blog hopping in a while but I'm happy I did today and went here. We are also in a lockdown and I am now on my 12th day today inside the house. I do miss the outside world but as long as I'm with family (and the internet), I'm all good. Also, more time enabled me to re-open an old Daily Photo Blog of mine. I wish you only the best out there and sending hugs from the Philippines!
