Yesterday was 36th day MCO. Will the MCO be extended again? We will have to wait and see.

Can you see the 2 birds on the left side?
The birds are also practising social distancing.
I managed to buy some coconut milk (santan) to make some coconut jam (kaya). I reduced the sugar to half the amount. This time it was not as thick as expected
but the sweetness is just nice for us. The texture is smooth. What you see on the "kaya" is actually air bubble.

Dinner - Teochew Porridge
Stewed pork belly with preserved veggie (mui choy).
Blanched "Tong ho" veggie
"Tong ho" or garland chrysanthemum drizzled with garlic oil and soy sauce. I love this veggie but hubby doesn't eat because of its strong herbal smell.
So I opened a small can of pickled Chinese mustard green for hubby.
Teochew porridge for 2
I added oat to my porridge.
Dwarf Mexican Petunia drenched with rain droplets after the early morning shower.
You take care of the earth and water it,
making it rich and fertile.
The river of God has plenty of water;
it provides a bountiful harvest of grain,
for you have ordered it so.
You drench the plowed ground with rain,
melting the clods and leveling the ridges.
You soften the earth with showers
and bless its abundant crops.
(Psalm 65:9-10, New Living Translation-NLT)
Wow so nice!! Wish I could do this too! My strawberry jam has finished.. tomorrow I will have to make again before they turn soft... wanna exchange goods????
ReplyDeleteLol! Okay, let's do it. Just let me know when your product is ready!
DeleteMy favorite part is the birds you captured. You gave me a good laugh about social distancing!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginny.
DeleteOh, so amazing flowers :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Iwona.
Deletenice dishes that goes well with porridge! I had mui choy pork on yesterday too!
ReplyDeleteMui choy pork kept overnight tastes more flavourful.
DeleteGreat looking food. Very pretty petunia, a beautiful colour. Take care and stay safe.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mamas. Take care and stay safe too.
DeleteAmazing photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Victoria.

Greetings from Indonesia
Thank you, Himawan.
Delete...the petunias are a welcomed sight, thanks Nancy.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom.
DeleteGood idea! Tomorrow I will ask my wife to make Kaya and Teochew porridge too. She also found coconut milk and my canned Dace fish have arrived too. The colour of your Kaya is nice 👌👍
ReplyDeleteThank you, TM. Canned dace fish is my hubby's favourite whenever I make porridge.
DeleteI love coconut jam :-) Miss "Tong ho"..used to eat lots of them, esp. when the family did the satay hot pot for the dinner :-)))
ReplyDeleteYes, tong ho is great for hot pot.
DeleteLovely sky and a simple cool dish for the summertime. Pretty raindrops flowers
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeevan.
DeleteHomemade kaya is good. I never try making it.
ReplyDeleteThis is my 3rd time making kaya.
DeleteI love to eat "Tong ho" or garland chrysanthemum because of its taste. You are a super woman in the kitchen because you can make kaya, own char siew, bak kwa and so many delicious dishes. Did you cook stewed pork belly from raw pork belly bought from the butcher at wet market?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mun. Yes, I buy raw pork belly from the pork shop in our area. I avoid going to the wet market because the queue there is long.
DeleteOur mayor has extended the quarantine to May 31. It's a good thing for all of us.
ReplyDeleteOur's extended to May 12th. Each extension is 2 weeks.
DeleteThe dinner looks great, Yum, yum. Stay safe Nancy.
ReplyDeleteCruisin Paul
Thank you, Paul. Stay safe too.
DeleteI was looking our the window the other day and there were birds all lined up on our fence. Made me smile.
ReplyDeleteI love all the food. Yummy.
Have a fabulous day, my friend. Stay safe. ♥
I see birds every morning but they are too fast for my camera. Thank you, Sandee, stay safe.
DeleteLOL at your comment about the birds practicing social distancing!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rose.
DeleteHola Nancy, las fotos son muy bonitas, la petunia espectacular y los platos se ven muy sabrosos. Besos. Cuidaros mucho.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lola.
DeleteAlways such pretty flowers and good food, and a very nice sunrise.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mimi.
DeleteNever heard of coconut jam
ReplyDeleteIts egg, coconut milk and sugar combination.
Deletekaya is one of my favorites...sweet
ReplyDeleteWe love kaya too.
DeleteNäyttää herkulliselta! En ole koskaan maistanut kookoshilloa. Tykkään kookoksen mausta, joten hillo olisi varmasti hyvää.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tarja. You will love the taste of kaya.
DeleteTong ho is one vegetable I will not touch! Find the smell very weird indeed.
ReplyDeleteThe canned chinese pickled mustard green interests me. I've not noticed the existence of this product, must keep a lookout for it. Is it displayed together with canned pickled lettuce and braised peanuts?
Yes, it is kept together with the other canned products.
DeleteOur CB has been extended to 1st june. They say things will get better and cases will drop by May. I never get tired of looking at your flower pics.
ReplyDeleteOurs extended to May 12th. Hope the pandemic will come to an end soon.
DeleteComida muy interesante. Un beso.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
