There was a slight drizzle when we woke up yesterday morning so have to forgo our morning walk. After breakfast, the drizzle stopped and I went out to sweep the driveway.
White rain lilies blooming in front of my house.
These rain lilies usually appear during rainy seasons.
I was feeling some dryness in my throat and these chilled home made black herbal jelly or gui ling gao is good for soothing dry throat.

Take away dinner
Yesterday evening, I was feeling lazy and not in the mood to cook. Hubby went out with the stainless steel tiffin carriers or food containers and came back with the following dishes.
Stewed pork ribs with taro or yam in red fermented bean curd or nam yue.
Sweet sour Chinese mustard.
Fried fish.
The above 3 dishes including white rice for 2 persons cost RM16.50
After dinner, I went out to the front of my house and saw this hibiscus. Every day there are new hibiscus blooms but the flowers only last for a day. Took this snapshot in the evening light.
Pink sunset at 7:40 pm.
Hopefully, tomorrow we will have clear sky so that we can go for our morning walk.

I love gui ling gao. They are a must during the hot humid summer time. Beautiful sunset shots, Nancy.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie.
DeleteWhat a nice post 😊 thanks for your sharing 😊
ReplyDeleteThank you and have a good day.
DeleteThe white rain lilies are so pretty. You planted them, right?
ReplyDeleteYes, they don't bloom all the year round.
DeleteHome made gui ling gao must be so yummy. How much powder did you use to make so many containers of gui ling gao?
ReplyDeleteI use 50 gm of powder mixed with 200 ml water. Boil 1.25 litre water to dissolve 200 gm cane sugar. Stir in the powder + water mixture into the cane sugar water over low heat, stirring all the time till slightly thickened, then off the fire. Sieve the mixture into containers.
DeleteThank you for the details. Need to sieve also.
DeleteWow! Your dinner is so yummy, with 3 flavourful dishes at such an affordable price of rm16.50 so where were these dishes bought from? Must share the shop name so that we know where to get yummy affordable food in Ipoh at dinner time.
ReplyDeleteWe bought our dinner from Restoran WK Claypot House, 101 Lengkok Rishah 3, Taman Silibin Ria, Ipoh, outskirt of Ipoh. Phone: 012-510 8632. I like their chicken claypot rice and red sugarcane drink.
DeleteThank you for the info. Will copy it down.
DeleteSo sad the hibiscus blooms only for one day. Did you pick up the fallen hibiscus flowers to press them into dry flowers?
ReplyDeleteIts okay because there are flowers everyday. The dried flowers contributed to the compost.
DeleteThe pork ribs look so good. I really want some but cannot have any pork until this darned gall bladder of mine is gone. The op is on priority, but who knows when that will be with this pandemic still going on.
ReplyDeleteThe hibiscus is beautiful.
I had my gall bladder remove many years ago using the scope procedure.
Deletedelicious dinner! yea hopefully the weather is better tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThe weather was fine the next morning and we had our morning walk.
Delete...a pink sunset is the sign of a beautiful day to come.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, the next morning we went out for our morning walk.
DeleteVery yum!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Natalie.

DeleteRm 16.50 is so cheap and affordable with three dishes and rice.
ReplyDeleteThese are ready cooked dishes. Before MCO, we usually go there for our claypot chicken rice.
DeleteIt is good to take a break from cooking sometimes, cooking can be so tiring, i love to eat mustard.
ReplyDeleteEspecially when I am in my lazy mode.

ReplyDeleteThank you, PH. The sweet sour mustard makes me drool too.
DeleteGui ling gao is good for this warm weather. I like this herbal jelly but never make myself at home.
