5th of June. No more EMCO (for Ipoh) but now under FMCO (nationwide full lockdown). Starting our morning walk at 7am is better than not walking at all.
Sunrise at 6:45am.
The cloud formation is interesting.
What can you see?
To me, it looks like a horse or a dog (facing right).
What can you see?
After morning walk, we drove out to Restoran Tet Shin to buy fried rice vermicelli and mee jawa.
Fried rice vermicelli for hubby.
Mee jawa for me.
We ended up sharing our breakfast.
We received some star fruits and matoa fruits from a friend.
Matoa is from the Lychee family. This is the 2nd time I get to taste this fruit.
Matoa fruits look more like longan. The skin is quite hard. I have to use my palm to press the fruit against the table top to break the skin.
The flesh is thick and sweet.
~~~~~
My neighbour who is working from home had to go back to her office to collect some stationery. On the way home, she tapau (take away) lunch for us.
On the right is chili pan mee and loh mee is on the right.
Chili pan mee tossed with soy sauce, topped with minced pork, mushroom and lots of crunchy fried anchovies. Green amaranth soup in a separate container.
Loh mee with greens and mushroom on the right. The thick gravy, minced pork and black vinegar on the right in a separate container.
Hubby doesn't like loh mee so he ate the chili pan mee.
I like loh mee and I enjoyed it very much.
For dinner, I heated up the leftover 5 treasures rice porridge and we each had a big plate of porridge.

Murals from our morning walk.
Mural of a Chinese sinseh (doctor practicing traditional Chinese medicine) checking the pulse rate of a patient.
A strong young man carrying an elderly woman in a basket on his back.
He is smiling and it doesn't look like she is a burden to him.
Give your burdens to the Lord. He will carry them.
He will not permit the godly to slip or fall.
(Psalm 55:22, The Living Bible-TLB)
I have never had a matoa..they look so juicy and sweet. Chinese murals are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie.
DeleteMy imagination runs wild. I thought I saw a dragon from the cloud formation. Lol.
ReplyDeleteFried mee hoon anytime for me!!!
Yes, it can also look like a dragon. I love fried mee hoon too.
DeleteNever seen Matoa fruit before not even when I've travelled way up north.
ReplyDeleteMatoa fruit is rare here unless grown in own garden.
Deletethat's a nice Chinese mural captured from your morning walk...I wonder what place/building is that to have these murals? Looks like freshly painted and quite new as the colours are still intact and not stained.
ReplyDeleteI hardly see any mural in my area, unless in the school compound.
These murals are on the concrete walls surrounding a Chinese school. The whole wall is covered with murals.
DeleteAt first I thought the matoa was buah kedondong. This is the first time I heard of matoa. I like all your meals. Noodles for me anytime!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw the fruits, I too thought they were kedondong.
DeleteI never matoa before... what are they? Next time you must show me.. hahaha..
ReplyDeleteCan only show when the fruit is available. I haven't seen the fruits for sale here.
DeleteLoook so realy nice
ReplyDeleteThank you, Aleksandra.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeevan. We hardly get to see Matoa here.
DeleteI have not heard of vermicelli made with rice, and do not see the rice in the dish. I would love to make it!
ReplyDeleteRice vermicelli is one of my favourite noodles.

Away From The Blue
Thank you, Mica. We are into the 2nd week lockdown. Hope situation will improves. Have a wonderful day too.
DeleteBellos murales, rico tu almuerzo. Te mando un beso
ReplyDeleteThank you, JP.
DeleteThe cloud does look like a horse with w rider on it. Your food looks so good. We went on a walk this evening but I only made it 2 streets as I was a bit tired. I woke up early to get ready for a virtual young living convention. Good to watch this a.m. and a couple afternoon workshops. One was a virtual visit to a lavender farm and "walk"thru the distillery. I need to do some bible study b4 i fall asleep. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Grandma Beckyl. Wonderful to be able to join virtual convention and workshops. I too need to do some bible study. Have a wonderful weekend.
DeleteThank you, Francisco.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen this matoa fruit. Looking forward to encountering it one day.
ReplyDeleteMatoa is rare and hardly seen. So far, I have only seen 1 tree once and tasted the fruits twice so far.
DeleteI see a dragon. What a coincidence that rose wrote about crystal fruits which is matoa. Where did your friend get the matao? Love all your food especially Mee jawa.
ReplyDeleteMy friend received the matoa from her friend.
DeleteLa fruta me encanta. Besos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
