We haven't been to Restoran Thean Chun for a long, long time because it was always crowd before the Covid-19 movement control order was enforced. Customers will be standing behind those already seated to finish their food so that they could occupy the table.
When we were there yesterday with our friends, it was suppose to be the peak lunch hours. Surprisingly, we could easily get a table for 4 people.
When we were there yesterday with our friends, it was suppose to be the peak lunch hours. Surprisingly, we could easily get a table for 4 people.
We ordered egg custards served with plain water.
We ordered 4 bowls of kai si hor fun or shredded chicken and prawn noodle.
And a plate of chee cheong fun or steamed rice roll for us to share.

Having friends over for simple home cooked dinner.
Our friend cooked the above dish.
Main ingredients: Crispy pork lard, green chilies, onions, taucu or fermented soy beans.
I sauteed home grown snake long beans with roast pork.
I made yam rice for my friends to taste.
Ingredients: rice, yam cubes, dried prawns, dried shiitake mushrooms, roast pork, chopped onions and garlic, oyster and soy sauce, salt to taste, sesame oil and cooking oil.
Sambal belacan paste condiment - blessing from my friend.
Best condiment for the yam rice.

From my garden
Cockscomb flowers and cactus plant.
First attempt growing carrot. Hoping to harvest some carrots.
Can you spot the little white butterfly or moth with black spots?
It was fluttering from leaf to leaf. I have to quickly take these snapshots before it fluttered off again.
Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow,
an undeserved curse will not land on its intended victim.
(Proverbs 26:2, New Living Translation-NLT)
yummy kai see hor fun! pork lard with yam rice, nice!
ReplyDeleteThank you and have a great day.
DeleteThe shredded chicken 7 noodles looks delicious!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginny.
DeleteHmm, it looks delicious like that hor fun ... the hot sauce adds to the appetite.
ReplyDeleteThank you and have a great day.
DeleteHow do you cook the yam rice?? In rice cooker?? Steam??
ReplyDeleteSometimes I use rice cooker, sometimes I steam it.
DeleteThe butterfly looks like one of the blues, are the wings blue when open? Love egg custard I make it often. Stay safe, cheers Diane
ReplyDeleteIt was very small and hardly able to see clearly. Take care and stay safe.
DeleteI wish I could join you for that homemade taro rice! So yummy :-)
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will enjoy the food.
DeleteOh your friend cooked in.your hse, must be so fun.
ReplyDeleteShe cooked in her house and brought the food over to mine.
DeleteIt's exciting to get out again and share a meal with friends isn't it? Your garden is looking blooming good Nancy!

Thank you, Wren. We are slowing gaining confidence to venture further out.
DeleteHello dear Nancy!
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures of the beautiful butterfly and the Cockscomb flowers!
Delicious meals! My favorite is the egg custard and the chicken prawn noodles!
Have a lovely day! Take care! Hugs!
Dimi...
Thank you, DIMI and have a wonderful day. Stay safe.
DeleteIt's nice you were able to eat at the restaurant and you have been able to share meals with friends :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a lovely week! :)
Away From Blue
Thank you, Mica. Have a lovely week too.
DeleteSound like a nice outting. We have not eaten out. But we do go through the drive thru.
ReplyDeleteWe have started to dine out now. Its comfortable eating out because the places are not overly crowded. The restaurants are required to observe social distancing.
DeleteI can see the butterfly.
ReplyDeleteYour carrots look ok, at least they don't need thinning out.
Food looks very nice too.
Take care.
I have just replanted the carrots into bigger pots. Take care and stay safe.
Delete...the kai si hor fun sure looks good.
ReplyDeleteIpoh city is famous for the kai si hor fun noodle.
DeleteThe little butterfly or moth camouflaged itself so well and blended into the leaf. Love your yam rice because it sounded so flavourful. Your Kai si hor fun has so much Kai si. I have eaten the egg custard at this shop before. I guess people are still not dining in is it so there are seats available. Did you see many people ordering takraways while you were eating there?
ReplyDeleteBusiness is not as good as before the MCO. Probably minus the oversea tourists and visitors from other states. Most locals are also not too keen in eating out as yet. Take away also not many.
DeleteI'm glad you got to go out and eat and that you didn't have to wait to be seated. That's always a plus. The food looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day, Nancy. ♥
For the time being, there will be less crowd. Once the people gain confidence in eating out, the crowd will be back.
DeleteHello Nancy,
ReplyDeleteThe prawn noodle soup sounds delicious! I love your pretty flowers. I did find the butterfly, it is a pretty one. Enjoy your day, have a happy weekend ahead.
Thank you, Eileen. Happy weekend and stay safe.
DeleteYam rice? I never tasted it, sound delicious....
ReplyDeleteIt is very flavourful and delicious.
DeleteCute butterfly! It's nice to be with friends.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gigi.
DeleteYum
ReplyDeleteThank you, RR.
DeletePysznie wyglądają potraw . Motylek piękny.

Thank you, Rose.
DeleteInteresting food that I may not like
ReplyDeleteIt is understandable. Happy weekend.
DeleteEstupenda comida. Feliz fin de semana.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
DeleteThe fluttery bug on the leaf, or another like it, has been chewing is what it looks like.
ReplyDeleteWonderful meals and flowers, good luck with the carrots.
Thank you, Mimi. Have a wonderful weekend.
DeleteOoh it's actually a good time for cuti-cuti Malaysia! I found it stressful trying to find seats in crowded eating places. Without a queue system, it all depends on luck to spot a good table to wait for and then 'guard' it.
ReplyDeleteBefore MCO, we will avoid this place because of the crowd. So before the crowd and tourists return, this is the best time to enjoy the food here.
