Hakka Pork Belly With Wood Fungus, Cauliflower & Beansprout

I have a few types of frozen ready cooked foodstuffs that we bought from a friend's shop before the MCO 2.0. Hubby wanted to help his friend because due to the pandemic, business has not been good. Hopefully, I can clear all the old stock from my freezer within these 2 weeks. I picked a packet that contained the Hakka pork belly with wood fungus, thawed it at room temperature and later steamed it for dinner.

Hakka pork belly with wood fungus cooked with red fermented bean curd (nam yue).
Steamed cauliflower and carrot, drizzled with garlic oil, oyster and soy sauce.
Blanched bean sprouts and drizzled with garlic oil, oyster and soy sauce.
Satisfying dinner with steamed rice.
While waiting for hubby to lock the gate, I took a snapshot of my shadow in front of the house.
The moon was still visible at 7:20am.
The following are photos of my one and only air plant or Tillandsia plant.
I bought this plant from the nearby plant nursery about 3 years ago.
It is healthy and is flowering again.
From the mother plant, it has multiplied into 7 plants. 

Fear of the LORD is the foundation of wisdom.
Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment.
Wisdom will multiply your days and add years to your life.
If you become wise, you will be the one to benefit.
If you scorn wisdom, you will be the one to suffer.
(Proverbs 9:10-12, New Living Translation-NLT)

  16. I really like seeing what you are eating, especially now since you are cooking at home more. Restaurant meals are fun, but it is better to read what people make themselves at home...because I get more ideas for what I can do! (The oil, fish sauce , and soy sauce drizzles for vegetables in this post, for instance, I have those things forre pies we make, but never thought of doing that with the side dish. )

  21. But your bean sprouts look fat and juicy, yums, so I don't mind.

  22. Pretty air plant! I was tempted to get one for myself after seeing them on your blog. Eventually went for more cactus since I already have those. No need to complicate things hehe.
