Simple Steamed Chocolate Cake & Roast Chicken Leg

Woke up to find that it was raining in the early hours of the morning. No lovely sunrise, only gray sky.
Morning sky at 7:05 am - no sunrise in sight.
On the opposite side, Kledang Hill covered with mist.
Opposite my house, gray sky.

Breakfast on Monday, 20th day MCO.
My breakfast
Pan fried 2 sausages, 3 pieces of bacon, 1 egg and 2 pieces of bread.
 I passed over 1 sausage and 1 piece of bacon to hubby.
Hubby went out to buy "wat tan hor" or flat rice noodle with egg gravy.
Breakfast for 2.
~~~~~~
From my garden.
The early morning rain helped to water my plants.
Can you see the rain droplets on my periwinkles?
Sea hibiscus flower bud and leaves with rain droplets.

Lunch
I boiled sweet porridge with red beans and black glutinous rice.
I blessed my neighbours (2 young ladies) with some.
Homemade steamed chocolate cake.
Rose World's post gave me the inspiration to try her recipe (click here).
I also gave some to my neighbours together with the sweet porridge.
~~~~~
Dinner
Homemade roast chicken legs with vegetables
(potatoes, carrot, onions and cauliflowers)
2 bowls of mushroom soup.
Very satisfying and delicious dinner.

Items from the National Museum.
Royal Headdress
Tengkolok Diraja or Royal Headdress
Tengkolok DiRaja / Royal Headdress
The royal headdress has been an integral part of the royal regalia of the Malay Rulers over the centuries. The royal headdress worn by His Majesty the Yang DiPertuan Agong is black in colour with gold embroidery and its solek is called the 'Dendam Tak Sudah' originated from Negeri Sembilan. On the front of the headdress is affixed with a crescent and a star in white gold within which is the national emblem of Malaysia.


But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people.
You are royal priests, a holy nation, God's very own possesion.
As a result, you can show others the goodness of God,
for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.
(1 Peter 2:9, New Living Translation-NLT)

  19. Leg quarters are my favorite part of the chicken! They have this tender meat yet very juicy on the inside. I would have to look for a recipe of that steamed chocolate cake though.
