We are now at 146th day of RMCO (recovery movement control order). When the situation begins to look good, new cases will appear and we don't know for how long we will have to observe the requirement of the sop. On our early morning walking rounds, we see used masks discarded everywhere especially on the roads and on the sides of the roads. This is unsightly and bad for the environment. This is why hubby and I have switched to the use of fabric masks which can be washed after every use.
For breakfast, we had takeaway fried economy fried rice vermicelli Indian style with lots of sweet and spicy sambal @ RM 2.00 per packet. Hubby had unsweetened black coffee and herbal tea for me.
As I was watering my plants, I noticed a wild mushroom all alone by itself. I didn't expect to see any wild mushroom as the current weather is warm about 30 to 33 deg Celsius.

We had the following for lunch. These were all from my fridge.
2 steamed pork buns given by our friend.
The above were leftover from previous day's dinner. To heat up the above, I used a nonstick frying pan.
Since I was using the nonstick frying pan, I might as well fry the above remaining sweet meat. These can be eaten as a snack.
A simple lunch for 2 people. We kept the sweet meat to be eaten as snack.
My neighbour bought 2 combs of bananas last Sunday. She gave me a comb and kept one for herself. It has been more than a week and until now the 2 combs of bananas remained green. We will wait another week to see what happens.

Dinner eat out with friends at Kedai Minumum Villa, Jalan Dato Tahwil Azhar, Ipoh.
Black Tilapia cooked in a claypot. Very flavourful with lots of garlic and onions.
Herbal chicken (half a chicken for 4 people). Thumbs up for this.
Sambal belacan water spinach (kangkong)
This place serves lunch and dinner, closes at 8 pm. Off day - Wednesday.
because we serve the Lord,
but this gives us constant opportunities to show
forth the power of Jesus Christ within our dying bodies.

Lots of delicious treats, Nancy. Love the steamed buns and your homemade stuffed bitter gourd the most.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie.
DeletePeople shouldn't simply throw their used stuffs, doesn't matter whether it is disposable mask or other things. Guess they are just not civic minded enough. The sambal would be too spicy for me. Since they are sweet and spicy but still very spicy, right?
ReplyDeleteYes, very sad to see the attitude of some people. I think you will be able to take the sambal even though sweet and spicy. It is not the spicy and burning type.
DeleteYour lunch is more than enough for me. I guess the sweet meat Bak kwa can be eaten for a few days. How many would you and your husband need to finish that plate of sweet meat?
ReplyDeleteActually, I ate most of the sweet meat whenever I have the urge to munch. Lol!
DeleteI am also very curious to know whether the banana will ripen or not. Did you put them in a warm place or cool place?
ReplyDeleteI place them in my second hall which is quite warm. Until today, it is still green.
DeleteLove your dinner. So long I didn't eat steam whole fish. Good that all of you enjoyed the dinner. Did everyone prefer the chicken to the fish?
ReplyDeleteAll of us equally love the fish and chicken. We finished off the fish and chicken.
DeleteI like all the dishes that you ordered. Kangkong belacan is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteThis kangkong belacan had too much belacan so we didn't finish because it is quite salty.
DeleteThe wild mushroom must have grown there from the rainy season before this dry season since it is drying up already. Do you see any other mushrooms nearby?
ReplyDeleteThis mushroom was not shaded but exposed to the sun. It has been a week of hot weather without rain so its amazing to find this mushroom still standing.
DeleteThe bananas look good.
ReplyDeleteEasier for you to wear cloth masks, much better I presume. I presume that there are rubbish bins to put the disposable mask in, but people don't use them!
Thank you, Margaret. Some people just won't take the trouble to drop the mask into the rubbish bins.
DeleteI've been wearing bandannas. Masks tug at my ears.
ReplyDeleteI think bandannas are more comfortable.
DeleteDelicios dishes!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Victoria.
DeleteThanks for your sharing 😊
ReplyDeleteMost welcome. Have a good day.
DeleteI love pork buns, too. Happy new week to you.
ReplyDeleteThank you and have a great week.
DeleteI hope the bananas ripen for you. Lots of good food shown here.
ReplyDeleteIt is coming to 2 weeks and the bananas are still green.
DeleteWe see the same here with disposable masks all over the place. Why can't people clean up after themselves?! All the food looks amazing. Glad you enjoyed. Have a great day :)
ReplyDeleteIt is sad to see the mask contributing to the amount of garbage. Have a great day too.
Delete...in Maui, those small bananas are known as Apple Bananas, they sure are sweet.
ReplyDeleteYes, the bananas are sweet. Now I know that this is apple bananas.
DeleteI don't like litter either. But, I prefer the paper masks over the cloth ones, because they are light weight.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is true that the paper masks are lighter and thinner.
DeleteOh the food. I'm hungry this morning and everything looks so good. We went out to dinner both Friday and Saturday night with friends. Patio dining only, but it was wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week, Nancy. ♥
It is wonderful to be able to have dinner with friends especially on weekends. Have a great week.
DeleteWe have only used washable masks and the liner inside is removable to wash alone if required. That water spinach looks delicious. Keep safe Diane
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diane. We have a few fabric masks to standby. We also have disposable masks in case we forget our fabric mask.
DeleteOh so interesting the first meal
ReplyDeletexx
Thank you, Sakuranko.
DeleteHope you had a great time with your friends ❤

Thank you, Rose.
DeleteJust this morning I also saw a discarded disposable mask. I wish people would be more considerate.
ReplyDeleteEven if it accidentally drops off, at least pick it up and throws it into a rubbish bin. That way, there will be less rubbish around.
DeleteSo many good things to eat! Yes, discarding masks on the ground is awful, i wonder why people cannot simply wait until they get to a trash can.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I wondered too.
DeleteSometimes I also see those white mushrooms grow in my garden.the claypot tilapia looked yummy. I like fish, as long as it is fresh, any cooking method is fine with me.
ReplyDeleteThat is how I felt for fish too, as long as it is fresh, doesn't matter what fish and how it is cooked.
DeleteDelicious food. I love bananas :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Iwona. I love bananas too.
DeleteI have a banana each morning with my breakfast
ReplyDeleteI usually eat banana in between meals.
DeleteI've been using fabric masks since the beginning. Disposable ones seem expensive and wasteful to me.
ReplyDeleteWorst case you can cook the banana?
Yes, the idea came to me whether I should cook the bananas after waiting for another week.
DeleteI want to try out the new stall one day...
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will enjoy the food too.
DeleteThank you, Francisco.
ReplyDeleteInteresante y muy bueno todo. Besos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
DeleteFor your lunch, i like the steamed baos and stuffed bitter gourd. For the dinner, both the fish and chicken look good.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Libby. We will definitely go back for the fish and chicken again.
