We had finished our morning walk and breakfast at our regular coffee shop. I didn't take snapshots of our breakfast because it must be the same common breakfast.
As we were coming out of the coffee shop, I saw a few mourning doves looking for food on the road.
The birds were not easily frightened off by passers by.
~~~~~
Later in the morning, we visited a food catering shop or Restaurant Seri Meesan. The boss is one of hubby's friend. Before the pandemic, we used to order from this caterer whenever we need to hold a function.
With the Chinese New Year less than a month away, he is promoting the above dish known as "Poon Choy".
And also the above set meal for those who don't feel like cooking.
Before we left the restaurant, we bought a few packages of frozen ready to eat food. All we have to do is to submerge the package of food into boiling water for a few minute and once you opened the package, the food can be served.
A friend gave me a tub of turmeric rice, cooked by her partner.
Turmeric rice: Briyani rice, turmeric, coconut oil.
When I opened the cover of the tub, I can smell a nice fragrance.
Chicken Rendang.
Instead of submerging the frozen package of chicken rendang into boiling water, this old fashion auntie prefer to open the package, poured the content into a steaming bowl and steamed the chicken rendang covered before serving.
Our one dish dinner without spending much time in the kitchen.
I only need to steam the turmeric rice and chicken rendang before serving.

It shows a common glow worm which the Google Lens identified as Lampyris noctiluca larva. If it is not the correct identification, please do let me know.

Lord, deal with me in loving-kindness,
and teach me, your servant, to obey; for I am your servant;
therefore give me common sense to apply your rules to everything I do.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteThe doves are sweet, I have never heard of the Glow Worm. Thanks to your friend for sharing the video. The food looks delicious and sounds very easy to make. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend! PS, thank you for the comment and visit.
Thank you, Eileen. Take care too. Have a great new week.
DeleteI would also not submerged the whole packet into hot water but do like you, steam it after pouring it out from the packet. How long did u steam it?
ReplyDeleteI think its about 15 mins depending on the fire.
Deletein the City where I live, the pigeons come to the balconies in winter, we love to feed them...
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of pigeons in my area and they normally perch on power lines.
DeleteThe chicken rendang looks so good and I would probably ask for a 2nd helping of rice!
ReplyDeleteI steamed just enough rice so no chance for 2nd helping. Lol!
DeleteAmen
ReplyDeleteThank you, RR.
Deleteit looks delicious and nice to have such a quick and easy meal!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Martha.
DeleteHi Nancy :) Mourning Doves are my favourite birds, I love how they coo. :) They live in the pine trees in our back woods. That chicken dish looks so delicious! Looks like perfect comfort food! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rain.
Delete...in Maui I would wake to the sound of the mourning doves.
ReplyDeleteThey are gentle doves.
DeleteThe glow worm is interesting. I've heard of one in an old song! And the Dove is a pretty bird.
ReplyDeleteThank you and have a lovely week.
DeleteWe used to have glow worms here but I have not seen one for many moons. Keep safe Diane
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time seeing this glow worm in video.
DeleteI don't think I have ever seen a Glow Worm! I can't tell which end the head is on! Did you know there is a song about a Glow Worm?
ReplyDeleteGlow worm is new to me. I will have to google for the song.
DeleteThat worn is sort of creepy!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. I wouldn't want it in my garden.
DeleteCreo que es una luciérnaga. Besos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
DeleteThe chicken rendang looks so tasty, a great meal.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mamas.
DeleteThe pot would be easier to wash if you don't remove the plastic! I'd worry about heating up plastic too.
ReplyDeleteNo need to wash the pot if the food is steamed.
Deleteturmeric rice, now that's new to me. I'll have to try that. Have a great day Nancy.
ReplyDeleteCruisin Paul
Thank you, Paul. Have a great day too.
DeleteI have never tried tumeric rice. Looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteNice fragrant rice.
DeleteThere are a lot of pigeons looking for food in our hawker centre, they created such a mess and it is so unhygienic.
ReplyDeleteSo true, with flying feathers and droppings, I too don't like them around hawker centres.
DeleteI love to eat poon choy.
ReplyDeleteFor this CNY, it will be my first time ordering poon choy.

ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, our cafes and restaurants are closed. The food looks delicious. Have a nice week:)
Thank you, Lucyna. Have a good week.
DeleteI have seennglow worms in person they are fasanating
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time seeing it and in a video.
DeleteHow nice to be able to boil a bag and have supper almost ready.
ReplyDeleteThe birds are not going to be very afraid if they are around people all of the time.
The birds have got used to people. The most is they will just move away if someone gets too close to them.
DeleteOver here, we most likely can't have our CNY reunion at the restaurant. Have to tapau or order delivery.
ReplyDeleteDon't know when MCO will be over.
DeleteHmm. Rendang chicken, long time did not have that.
ReplyDeleteYes, its been a long time for me too.
