The state of Perak made it onto the list of states under MCO 3.0! Just as we have expected.
Morning sky at 7:40am
Even the sky was gloomy on this day.
Even though the sky was dark, there was no stopping the sun from shining through the dark clouds. Snap shot taken at 8am.
~~~~~
No dine-in under MCO 3.0
The roadside stall that we used to buy our favourite economy fried vermicelli was closed so we bought a packet from another nearby stall.
On our way home, we walked to the dim sum restaurant to buy steamed buns. I bought 1 bbq pork bun, 1 pork (sang yoke) bun, and 2 blended ginger chicken (keong yoong kai) buns.
This was our breakfast.

From my garden.
Long green okra plants.
That morning I harvested 3 long okras.
For lunch, hubby bought some roast pork and bbq sausage.

It was only recently that managed to clear the stock from the freezer. It didn't stay empty for long. Now I have restocked the freezer again but this time, I halved the quantity.
For dinner, I blanched a medium sized head of broccoli and sprinkled with sambal dried shrimp.
Steamed a small grouper fish with ginger strips and drizzled with Chinese cooking wine, oyster and soy sauce. This small fish was enough because hubby doesn't eat much fish.
Our simple home cooked dinner consists broccoli, steamed fish and rice porridge.

Received these 2 pictures from my friend.
Can you see something unusual about the banana leaves?
Have you seen a totally white banana leaf before? I haven't.
This is my first time! Really amazing!
Linking to Wordless Wednesday & My Corner of the World.
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and
knit them together in my mother's womb.
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
It is amazing to think about.
Your workmanship is marvelous - and how well I know it.
You were there while I was being formed in utter seclusion!
You saw me before I was born and
scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe.
Every day was recorded in your book!
(Psalm 139:13-16, The Living Bible-TLB)

DeleteA white banana leaf?! I've never seen anything like it! Wow!!
ReplyDeleteNice sky shots and delicious food too. :)
Thank you, Martha.
DeleteI also haven't seen a totally white banana leaf before. So amazing!
ReplyDeleteLove all your food because I just eat a bit of each will be very satisfying already. Did you all eat all 4 baos in one sitting for breakfast?
We kept 2 steamed baos for morning tea.
DeleteDear Nancy! Your okra looks great, i like its soup very very much. Also may i get a plate of steamed fish and rice porridge. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteThank you and have a great day.
Deleteoh yum yum yum! Have a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kathe. Have a lovely day too.
DeleteOh the food. I always enjoy seeing your daily menus. I'll be right over.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday, Nancy. ♥
Thank you, Sandee. Have a wonderful day!
DeleteWOW...white banana leaves? I remember seeing a banana tree when I was in Nicaragua 18 years ago. Maybe plantain if I remember correctly. Sorry the restaurants ate closed. Ones in Oregon are open again although there's limited seating. When all were closed March 2020, some are still just open for drive thru or pickup. Last March 2020 we'd order from my laptop after church which we watched on live stream. Now the OR government wants a specific amount of people to be vaccinated so mask 😷wearing will go away. Doubt that will happen. Have a good week. 🌺
ReplyDeleteStarting 22nd May, we will be under full lockdown where 1 person from 1 household would be allow to go out to get essentials or for emergency. The vaccination is in process.
DeleteWhat an unusual banana leaf. The food looks delicious as always. Have a nice week:)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lucyna.
DeleteYum
ReplyDeleteThank you, RR.
DeleteThe fried vermicelli and buns look SO good!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginny.
DeleteWe only just had some lockdown easing on Monday and can dine in restaurants again, but they must socially distance. I have never seen a white banana leaf before either.
ReplyDeleteWe will be starting a full lockdown again on Saturday 22nd May to 4th June. Hope this will bring down the cases.
DeleteThe sun shining through the clouds is beautiful, and those white leaves are amazing.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you are back to cooking many enjoyable meals, as well as the take-aways.
Thank you, Mimi. Can't afford to stay in lazy mode for long. Lol!
DeleteThose skies are quite dramatic.
ReplyDeleteThank you, William.
DeleteOver here, no dine-in for a week now. This week, hubby and I walked all the way to our favourite coffee shop to tapau breakfast during our morning walk. Back and forth, we got to sweat for more than 30 minutes.
ReplyDeleteWe will be back to full lockdown starting 22nd May to 4th June. Plus no outdoor walking for the time being.
DeleteAll is looking good in the photos and I've never seen a white leaf of a banana tree either on our travels.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Margaret.
DeleteVery delightful dish.. I miss fish, must go and buy some one of these days~!
ReplyDeleteYou can order online. Very convenient for your place.
DeleteNice dishes❤
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kinga.
DeleteThat's amazing to see a white banana leaf, and I wonder what's the reason behind it! Nice simple breakfast with coffee.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
DeleteSo you are in lockdown again
DeleteYou have shared so lovely photos
Thank you, Jo-Anne. Yes, we are going into full lockdown starting tomorrow until 4th June. Hope it will help in bringing the number of cases down.
DeleteQuiet day for you, but the food looks good. I would have never believed a banana leaf could be white. Nice to see a picture of it here.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Yvonne.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Lillian. Neither have I.

ReplyDeleteThe white banana life is so delicate and pretty! An albino leaf, fancy that.
You are right, Stacy. I scrolled up to take a look and yes, I can see the eyes and mouth on the pau. Lol!
