Chicken Soup, Sambal Petai, Steamed Pork & Angled Luffa

This is another one of our shared and combined dinner with our friend that we had in my house. I prefer to cook because I need to use up the produce from my garden when they are fresh harvested. If kept in the fridge for too long, they lose their freshness and natural sweetness.

My friend wanted to contribute a pot of chicken soup. She bought a free range chicken to boil this delicious soup for 4 people.

From my kitchen....
Sambal petai and home grown okra.
Steamed minced pork with preserved vegetable (tong choy).
Home grown Angled Luffa with prawns and egg.
It pleases me to have all the dishes finished and no leftover.

Red and purple bougainvillea from my garden.

Another time he asked,
"Who ever heard of someone lighting a lamp
and then covering it up to keep it from shining?
No, lamps are mounted in the open where they can be seen.
(Luke 8:16, The Living Bible-TLB)

  6. I prefer to cook rather than going out these days. We seem to be moving into a second wave, not a good thing.

    1. Yes, the number of cases keep going up and down and the situation here is so uncertain. Hope there will not be another wave coming this way.

  22. That is ABC soup right? Of course there are no leftover since all the dishes look so yummy. My favourites would be the luffa with prawns and eggs and the steamed minced pork with tong cai.
