Ipoh is once again placed under the movement control order (MCO 3.0) for 2 weeks, starting from today, Monday 10th to 23rd May.
No more dine-in at eateries for 2 weeks until further notice.
~~~~~
This dinner was on the last Wednesday of April.
We didn't feel like eating rice, so I cooked chicken herbal soup.
I bought 1 free range chicken and used 1 packet of dried Chinese herbs to boil soup.
I cooked dried noodle for hubby to go with the soup.
I didn't want any noodle, so it was just soup and chicken for me.
I used some tomatoes and cucumber (given by a friend) for salad.
Just tomato and cucumber with Kewpie toasted sesame dressing for hubby.
For me, I like my salad with dried cranberries, pine nuts and walnuts.
Earlier, I posted that the hibiscus buds were dropping off before they could bloom. At last, I get to see one that is fully bloomed. I only noticed it when I took out the garbage in the evening and it was getting dark.
The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom.
Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy.
The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon;
they will see the glory of the Lord, the splendor of our God.
(Isaiah 35:1-2, New International Version-NIV)
...chicken soup is a favorite of mine.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom. It is my favourite too.
DeleteThe herbal chicken soup looks very tasty.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie.
DeleteAh, you already expected the mco in ipoh, right? I just super love your chicken soup, so very tasty! Lucky that you spot the pretty flower though it is getting dark.
ReplyDeleteYes, Mun. We were already feeling uncomfortable with the spike in the cases, so we ourselves decided to refrain from dining out with friends and to stay home until the situation improves.
DeleteI sure could go for a big serving of the tomato and cucumber! They look delicious.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rose. I enjoyed the salad very much.
DeleteYour salad looks delicious. We often use cranberries and pecans in our salad and add a few sliced grapes if we have them on hand. Our favourite dressing is a homemade celery seed dressing which we both enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThank you, David. Your salad sounds delicious too.
DeleteTu sopa de pollo se ve deliciosa. Besos.

Thank you, Paul. I love noodles too.
DeleteYummy! Pretty flower too. Sorry about the movement control order, but better safe than sorry.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Martha. Yes, prevention is better than cure.
DeleteI'll eat at your house anytime. Yummy.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week, Nancy. ♥
Thank you, Sandee. Have a fantastic week.
DeleteThat soup looks good. You are lucky only two weeks, we have not had a restaurant open for months and certainly no takeaways near us. We also still have curfew on top of it which they say MAY be lifted to a bit later than 7pm in June!! Keep safe, Diane
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rhodesia. At first it was announced 2 weeks but later it was extended to nationwide lockdown from 12 May to 7 June which is more than 3 weeks.
DeleteDelicious soup
ReplyDeleteThank you and have a good week.
DeleteYour chicken and noodles looks wonderful. And the sunrise is gorgeous. Stay safe!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginny. You too, take care and stay safe.
DeleteWhat a gorgeous sky shot! And the hibiscus color is just like one of the ones my Mom had. Thanks for tha beautiful memory for the day after Mother's Day. Thank you! Your chicken soup and salads look amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you and have a wonderful day.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Margaret.
DeleteVery healthy meals there, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Claire.
DeleteThank you, Francisco.
ReplyDeleteYeah MCO again. Tired of the restrictions already. One thing I never got is why limit the number of people in a car. This particular rule means I need to use 2 (now) or 3 trips (when it was previously limited to 2pax) to ferry 4 people from house to apartment.
ReplyDeleteWe all understand the need for MCO but just that many are confused over the sop.
DeleteOh love the idea of adding nuts to the salad.
ReplyDeleteYes, it tastes so much better with nuts and cranberries added.
DeleteA lovely sky.
ReplyDeleteThank you, William.
DeleteOur state too went for a 2 week full lock down from May 10 to 24 as the cases went out of control throughout Indian. Hope you guys are safe.
ReplyDeleteTake care
Thank you, Jeevan. Latest update is that we are now on nationwide lockdown from 12th May to 7th June. Do take care and stay safe.
