We started out on our morning walk about 6:30am and we are grateful for the street lights that lighted up our streets.
Every time we passed a street light, we get to see our shadows.
These people were preparing to set up their stalls for the morning market - 6:50am.

Breakfast at home.
Hubby bought 4 glutinous rice dumplings from the Friday evening market (pasar malam). 2 were given to our neighbour and I re-steamed the remaining 2 for our breakfast.
When I opened the wrappings, one was with dark sauce and one was white (without the dark sauce). Both taste good to us.
Our breakfast with hot milo for hubby and Nescafe for me.

Simple home cooked dinner without steamed rice.
I boiled soup with Sichuan salted vegetable, pork rib, carrot and tomatoes. I boiled a big pot and shared the soup with our friend and neighbour. Both our friend and neighbour are working and they do not cook.
Chinese kai lan sauteed with ginger slices and minced pork and before I off the fire, I added in some Chinese cooking wine.
The weather was hot. We were feeling really hungry, so we didn't want any rice.
Dear friends, never avenge yourselves.
Leave that to God, for he has said that he will replay those who deserve it.
Don't take the law into your own hands.
Instead, feed your enemy if he is hungry.
If he is thirsty give him something to drink and
you will be "heaping coals of fire on his head."
In other words, he will feel ashamed of himself for what he has done to you.
Don't let evil get the upper hand, but conquer evil by doing good.
(Romans 12:19-21, The Living Bible-TLB)
They're definitely there before dawn.

ReplyDeleteWe are hoping for some rain to cool down the heat.

DeleteThe bak chang looks good. Do they have salted egg yolk in them?
ReplyDeleteYes, there is salted egg yolk in the bak chang.
DeleteInteresting way to cook your veggies, with ginger, pork and wine. Looks good.
ReplyDeleteIt is only with Chinese kai lan that I add in the cooking wine.
DeleteAnything with ginger in it has a thumbs up from me. Hope all is well, Diane
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diane. Have a great day.
DeleteI used to go for an early morning walk but sadly no more
ReplyDeleteI will continue to walk when it is still possible.
DeleteGlutinous rice dumplings look the same as our jaggery Pongal and I wish I could taste it.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeevan.
DeleteRice dumplings sound good, if they have vegetables in them i would enjoy trying one.
ReplyDeleteFor the rice dumplings, there is no vegetable in them unless you go for the vegetarian dumplings with no meat.
DeleteChung season again, yay!
ReplyDeleteHahaha...I get to enjoy chung in and out of season. Nice and cheap from one of the pasar malam stall.
DeleteSichuan vegetable soup is one of my favourite soups. What did you have for lunch? Weather turning warm and hot recently.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Libby. We are fasting until Easter, so we are not having breakfast and lunch.
