We woke up about 6:50 am on Sunday morning (89th day MCO). We had enough time for morning walk and breakfast at our regular coffee shop. No photos of our breakfast. After breakfast we walked back home to prepare for online Sunday worship service. On the way home, I saw some pretty hibiscus flowers.
Bright red hibiscus
Pink hibiscus
Morning sky at 8:25 am
My neighbour gave us a papaya and 2 tubs of soya bean curd (tofu fa) with palm sugar after her marketing trip. The papaya will need a few days to ripen.
Hubby and I had the tofu fa for mid morning snack.
Hubby bought assam laksa @ RM 4 from a roadside stall to try. I took a sip of the soup to taste. The soup was too watery and I prefer a more spicy version.
Mid afternoon snack: Mangoes from my friend's garden.

Home cooked dinner
I boiled lotus root soup with pork bones, carrot, red dates and goji berries.
Sauteed cauliflower, home grown snake beans, prawns with garlic. I sprinkled some crispy dried prawn sambal to add extra flavour.
Dipping sauce: Bird's eye chilies in soy sauce.
Satisfying dinner for 2 people.
My son, never forget the things I've taught you.
If you want a long and satisfying life, closely follow my instructions.
Never tire of loyalty and kindness. Hold these virtues tightly.
Write them deep within your heart.
(Proverbs 3:1-3, The Living Bible-TLB)
The mangos look so fresh and pretty, and the hibiscus are lovely.

ReplyDeleteI am yearning for Penang assam laksa.
Deletethe assam laksa got fishcakes? I wonder wht are those rectangle shape chunks in that bowl. Ur neighbour are so generous to bless u with taufufa and papaya.
ReplyDeleteThe rectangle shape chunks are fish cakes that hubby added to the assam laksa.
DeleteI want some of your lotus pork soup! That's my favourite summer soup.
ReplyDeleteIt is also one of my favourite soup.

Deletelotus root soup? I should try it.
ReplyDeleteLove hibiscus flowers...beautiful
Thank you, Tanza.
DeleteThe mangoes from your friend's garden look so tasty! Good to walk back after breakfast for more exercise. You didn't eat rice for dinner, right?
ReplyDeleteThese days I seldom eat rice for dinner except when there is a curry dish. I don't eat rice so that I can clear all the remaining dishes.
DeleteWise decision! :)
DeleteIf I won't eat the leftover, it will have to be thrown away, and I feel it is such a waste of good food.
DeleteI ate all the cauliflower. It was delicious too.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week, Nancy. ♥
I will usually end up clearing all the left over food.
DeleteLoyalty and kindness. Two very good virtues to have.
ReplyDeleteIf we all have loyalty and kindness, then the world will be a better place to live in.
DeleteI still have 1 lotus root. Usually cook soup with peanuts and red dates.
ReplyDeleteI used to cook the same soup like yours.
DeleteSo very nice
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jo-Anne.
DeleteAh! You finally got to eat tofu fah. I have been eating a lot of mangoes too.
ReplyDeleteThere is one more mango inside my fridge.
DeleteThank you, Francisco.
