Herbal Duck Soup Noodle, Bak Kwa & Rice Porridge

This was one Sunday before the Lunar New Year. After finishing our morning walk, we took our car to buy take-away breakfast. We haven't been to this shop for a very long time probably because it is not on our regular route.

Sunrise at 7:40am
This is the shop: Restoran Sin Kooi Yuen.
The lady boss and her sister used to help her mother with the noodle shop in the Buntong wet market before she started her own shop here at shop #17, Jalan Raja Perempuan Mazwin, Taman Tinggi, Ipoh.
2 sets of wonton noodle - dry version.
We brought along our stainless steel tiffin carrier to takeaway the food.
We didn't want any wonton (dumplings) because we wanted herbal duck soup.
2 sets of wonton noodle with herbal duck soup and home made hot coffee.
~~~~~
Later in the morning, I made a small portion of bbq dried pork (bak kwa) for home consumption. The minced pork was pre-marinated overnight in the fridge.
Before I made the bak kwa, I boiled tapioca sweet drink or tong sui.
When I gave the tapioca sweet drink to my friend and neighbour, my neighbour gave me a papaya in return. My neighbour has become my regular supplier of fresh papaya.
~~~~~
Home cooked dinner on a warm evening.
The weather is hot so I decided to boil rice porridge with roast pork bones and peanuts.
Garnishing for the porridge: Ginger strips and chopped home grown spring onion.
Sauteed home grown long beans with garlic and salt.
Leftover food: Taro with mushroom and dried prawns.
We were able to finish everything, including the leftover food.

Commit everything you do to the Lord.
Trust him to help you do it, and he will.
(Psalm 37:5, The Living Bible-TLB)

  9. I love long beans, too. They are called "Ingen". This is a name of a Chinese Buddhist priest who came and lived in Japan in the 17th century. It is said he brought the beans from China. Happy weekend to you.

  19. Looks yummy. And the reusable To-go carrier is a wonderful idea. I hate the waste with all the paper containers, but I’m not sure it would be legal here to bring our own.
