Assam Laksa, Cendol, Rojak & Pork Rib Herbal Soup

After our morning walk, we usually stop at one of our regular coffee shops for breakfast. On our walk home, there are a few routes that we will take but there is one route which we will get to see chickens by the roadside or the back lane of their owner's house.

From its size, it looks like this is the most senior of all the roosters. It is very protective of the flock and it makes sure we keep our distance. Sometimes, it will be chasing after the hens.
There are more hens than rooster in this flock.
This hen after being chased by the rooster, flew into this bush and hid herself there.
She tried to hide behind the leaves when I tried to take snapshots of her.

For lunch, we went over to our friend's house, and from there we drove to Bercham, looking for a small stall that light lunch. This eatery is located in the row of stalls in front of the Bercham Public Bank. It has chap fan, assam laksa, Chinese rojak, ice kacang, cendol, etc.
I ordered a bowl of assam laksa.
Hubby ordered a plate of chap fan (no photo) and a bowl of corn cream on shaved ice dessert.
2 bowls of iced cendol for me and my friend.
A small plate of rojak to share.
Someone walked a short distance away to buy fried chicken, cut into bite pieces.
And a packet of economy fried mixed noodle.

Hubby had his chap fan for lunch, so he requested for a light dinner.
I boiled herbal soup with a packet of Chinese dried herbs and pork ribs. We both had a bowl of soup each at about 7pm and it lasted till next day's breakfast.


It is better to eat soup with someone you love
than steak with someone you hate.

  22. I love your scripture today!! New to me but isn't it the truth. I love your roosters and hens. Roosters are the same the world over, regardless of the actual species it seems.

  23. cendol, asam laksa and rojak are my favs!

  24. Believe only one rooster is needed per flock? Not that I'm any kind of expert.

    Laksa, rojak, cendol are all my favs. Looks so yum.
