It rained yesterday night, 26th day MCO. I was watching a Chinese drama when suddenly there was lightning and loud thunder. The TV screen went blank and then back to normal again. I quickly switched off and unplugged both the TV and my computer. Life would be real boring without the TV and computer during this MCO.
I managed to capture this sunrise at 7:06 am.
This was at 7:20 am.
7:25 am
Last snapshot at 7:38 am

Sunday breakfast, 26th day MCO
Hubby went out to buy Hakka noodles. All food stalls are being strictly monitored. They can only start selling from 8:00 am sharp onward.
Hakka noodle with minced meat (dry version).
Meat balls, fish balls and stuffed tofu.
Breakfast for 2 people.
~~~~~
Monk fruit (loh han kuo) with chrysanthemum drink.
1 dried monk fruit (loh han kuo) and chrysanthemum buds.
Rinsed and drained. Break up the monk fruit and boiled together with the chrysanthemum buds. The monk fruit drink has some natural sweetness.

Christ is our peace.
He made both Jews and Gentiles into one group.
With his body, he broke down the barrier of hatred that divided us.
(Ephesians 2:14, Common English Bible-CEB)
So many yummy food! Love esp. the steamed sausage and duck :-))

Thank you, Sakuranko.
DeleteDuring this MCO season, the only time we see our friends is on the left and the right... :) it is nice to bless one another...
ReplyDeleteSo true. Thanks to our neighbour and their blessings.
DeleteNow I kmow loh han kuo is called monk fruit. Confibement drink to me. Lol.
ReplyDeleteWaxed duck and lap cheong, my hubby's favourite. I am not crazy about these.
Loh han kuo is good for respiratory ailments, lung congestion, cough, sore throat, etc.
DeleteYou enjoy delicious food and drink and always so varied. I hope your electricity stays stable and it was just due to the storm. It was wise to unplug the television when there's a storm with lightning. All the best Nancy.
ReplyDeleteIn the past, 2 modems were struck by lightning. Now I am wiser, whenever there is heavy rain, I will quickly unplug the TV and computer. Stay safe.
DeleteYa cannot live without tv and internet. It is raining right now in sg. Good that you use metal containers to dabao and takeaway. Plastic containers are bad for health and bad for environment. Today i saw two police officers making their rounds at our supermarket.
ReplyDeleteThe police are kept busy patrolling, controlling crowds and at roadblocks. Appreciate their job in keeping order.
DeleteI am also very careful when it rains. It would be unthinkable to spend MCO without TV and internet.
ReplyDeleteIf without TV and internet, we will go crazy just eating and sleeping. Lol!
DeleteNice to see the sunrise. Great looking food as always and an amazing mural. Take care and stay safe.
ReplyDeleteTake care and stay safe too.
DeleteLaa televisión y la música, es lo que ameniza el día, a falta de poder salir a la calle.
ReplyDeleteEspero que tanto tú, como tu familia, se encuentren bien.
Besos
Thank you and stay safe.
DeleteThe 7:06 sunrise is so beautiful! It sure would be hard without internet and TV these days. Specially for Roger.
ReplyDeleteWithout the internet, life will be so boring. Stay safe, Rose.
DeleteThat's an unusual drink. I wonder how it tastes.
ReplyDeleteIts slightly sweet.
Delete...7:06 am was a special moment!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom.
DeleteAmazing food, as always, dear Nancy. The restaurants here are all closed, though some can still deliver. Stay safe!

DeleteYou are feasting like royalty. Good for you.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week, Nancy. ♥
Thank you, Sandee. Cooking to keep myself busy. Have a wonderful day.

Today the temperature went up again.
DeleteTasty food! I will have your oats porridge with so many dishes to go with them. hakka noodles look tasty too but too much noodles for me.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mun. I have started eating oats again.
DeleteThe sunrise is stunning! Thank you for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mimi.
DeleteIt is pretty amazing that the whole world is locked down and people are pretty much going along with it and it seems to be working.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies, great food. Enjoy your week!!
Most are cooperating while some are still not following the stay home order.
DeleteMy hubby likes waxed duck too. Me, I can't stand the smell even though I like lapcheong.
ReplyDeleteI eat both but prefer lap cheong.
DeleteI hopped over here to see what you blog from Mama's Mercantile. (We are blogger buddies+ Your site is nice and love the sunrise photos you posted. Easter sunrise was so pretty. We have been able to watch our church on Youtube which is good. Better than nothing. Usually we can hear it through church website if one misses church. I am enjoying the pretty tulips and other plants that are blooming. The tulip festival had to be cancelled which is sad. Thankfully they are posting many photos in FB. Wooden Shoe Tulip farm. We've gone there for years. Do you live in Japan? Take care and thanks for sharing scripture! Your food makes me hungry even though I have eaten breakfast! :,}
ReplyDeleteThank you for hopping over to my blog and taking time to enjoy and comment. There are things we get to enjoy even though no one likes to be house bound. We have 2 more weeks to go and not sure whether it will be extended further. I am staying in Malaysia. Have a lovely day and stay safe.
DeleteBuen día Nancy. Besitos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
