There are mornings when the sky is just gray with no sign of sunrise in sight. Then I will be looking for some other interesting things to take snapshots. There is one newly renovated double storey corner house that we used to pass by.
The new owner has planted these decorative trees and grass on this raised up area.

Breakfast
We had steamed buns (from neighbour) for breakfast.
2 buns with bbq pork filling and 2 with chicken curry filling.
These 2 baked buns with bbq pork filling were for mid morning snack.
For lunch, we had Campbell's chicken soup and bun with garlic butter spread.
These corn on cobs were for afternoon snack.
I bought some century eggs and I remember I have pickled ginger in the fridge. Century egg drizzled with a bit of sesame oil is best eaten with pickled ginger.

Home cooked dinner.
Just this dish alone is enough to go with steamed rice.
Sunset at 7:15pm
This lovely sunset made up for the lack of sunrise.
There is one public pay phone booth still standing in front of the row of shop houses. On a closer look, one can see that it is no longer working because the receiver is missing. These days, hardly anyone would use a public pay phone. Almost everyone has a hand phone.
Linking to Wordless Wednesday & My Corner of the World.
So get rid of all that is wrong in your life, both inside and outside,
and humbly be glad for the wonderful message we have received,
for it is able to save our souls as it takes hold of our hearts.

The buns look so good! The trees look like they may have been trimmed to look like this?
ReplyDeleteYou are right, Ginny. The trees are trimmed to look like this.
DeleteI miss century eggs so much!!! The steamed buns are looking good too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie. Love steamed buns when they are warm and fluffy.
Deletethe Chinese steamed bun has unusual markings....normally it is just one dot, but i see those have multiple small dots.
ReplyDeleteYes, these are more like home made buns. The fillings are also different from the dim sum restaurants.
DeleteSo sad about the public telephone. These things should be preserved, our heritage. Lovely neighbourhood!
ReplyDeleteI am surprised to see the stand there plus the remains of the pay phone. Most have been removed long time ago.
DeleteYou are right about public telephone being all not used because everyone has a hp now. I forgot to take my hp with me when I went out one day back in year 2015 and I couldn't find a working public phone. ended up I need to borrow the telephone from the customer service in a shopping mall. Luckily they were very kind and let me use their phone. Have you ever forgotten to take your hp out with you and then need to call someone?
ReplyDeleteI think there was once or twice that I didn't have my hand phone with me but I was with some friends so no problem if I need to call someone.
DeleteI love to eat century eggs but seldom drizzle them with sesame oil. Just eat them with pickled gingers or pickled onions. How did you cook the sweet sour pork trotters? I see they have like curry sauce or something similar on them. Can share the recipe please? Tq.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a fixed recipe. I remember using lots of onions, some garlic, a little ginger, 1 stalk serai, some chilies and process them together in a paste. I also used taucu, assam keping, sugar and salt. My measurement is agak-agak or approx. Actually, I love to add daikon but that day I didn't.
DeleteThese are beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteThe buns look delicious.
The sunset is also beautiful.
Greetings Irma
Thank you, Irma. Have a beautiful day.
DeleteThe buns look tasty. That was a nice sunset after a cloudy and dull morning. The trees look attractive by the renovated house.
ReplyDeleteThank you and have a beautiful day.
DeleteThose decorative plants remind me of a Japanese garden. I love century eggs! And of course the pork trotter dish :D
ReplyDeleteThank you, PH.
DeleteLovely trees there, wonderful sky and good looking corn..
ReplyDeleteThank you, Margaret.
Delete...play phones have become a thing of the past.
ReplyDeleteThey belong to the past.
DeleteSeeing all this delicious food has my tummy grumbling for some. Beautiful sunset shots Nancy. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Martha.
DeleteWe no longer have any phone booths around the area. I don't understand why. Oh, of course. Everyone had cell phones except me. Have a great day Nancy.
ReplyDeleteCruisin Paul

ReplyDeleteThank you and have a nice day.
DeleteI got stuck on all the food. I always do. Yummy.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember seeing a payphone for a very long time. Yes we all have our cell phones. It's much better in many ways.
Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday, Nancy. ♥
They lost to the cell phones. Have a wonderful day, Sandee.
DeleteBeautiful photos! It's getting close to lunchtime here in Texas and those buns look mighty good.
ReplyDeleteThank you and have a great day.
DeletePreciosas fotos Nancy. El jardÃn se ve bonito y el atardecer espectacular. En cuanto a la comida me encantarÃa probar los bollos. Besos
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lola.
DeleteLindos arboles, y la comida genial amo las mazorcas en mi paÃs se llaman choclo. Te mando un beso
ReplyDeleteThank you, JP.
DeleteThat twilight is enchanting.
ReplyDeleteThank you, William.
DeletePay phones used to be everywhere, and now you cannot find them any longer. The buns looked so good i had to get up and have a snack!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mimi. The buns make good snacks.
DeleteSo much effort to dot the buns with all those little dots!
ReplyDeleteAll these payphones have been vandalised. Such a waste.
I think it is to differentiate the fillings in the buns.
DeleteThe plants and grass look so nice and Japanese! The owner must have spend a lot of money and efforts maintaining them.
ReplyDeleteYour sky shots always look so lovely.
Lol at the missing receiver.
Thank you, Libby. Have a great day.
DeleteThank you, Francisco.
ReplyDeleteEl cielo se ve bonito al atardecer. Besos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
