Hong Kong Chee Cheong Fun, Braised Yee Mee & Assam Fish Curry

According to the sop, we are allowed to go out for outdoor activities from 7am onwards. We are not complaining but we do miss going out before the sky lights up before the lockdown.

Sunrise at 6:37am

Even though we are up early, we still have to wait and watch the clock. It is better to follow sop to avoid getting a fine.

6:40am

After morning walk, we drove out to a nearby town to buy breakfast.

We bought Hong Kong chee cheong fun which is rice flour batter steamed with bbq pork and prawns and roast pork. The sauce was packed separately.

With the sauce and sambal paste added to the noodle.

Then add the crispy shallot and sesame.

Roast pork - RM10, next to the chee cheong fun stall.

Lunch

There is a new noodle stall in our area.

Hubby went to buy wat tan hor but was not available that day, so he ended up buying braised yee mee .

The extra sambal from breakfast pairs well with the braised yee mee.

Purplish black pear shaped eggplant or brinjal in my garden.

Eggplants are prone to pests especially the mealy bugs that stick to the underside of the leaves. To control them, I trim away the affected leaves.

That evening, I harvested 1 eggplant and 3 long beans to add to the curry dish.

Home cooked assam fish curry with mackerel (ikan kembung), pineapple, eggplant and long beans. The eggplant is nice and fleshy.

I pan fried the remaining luncheon meat with bacon (4 pieces).

Sauteed green vegetable with garlic and salt to taste.

Homely dinner for 2 people.

Found this pretty spider clinging onto a branch outside my house.

Can someone please help to identify this spider?

My ex-colleague and friend shared with me the following photos.

A bird nest with 2 eggs in my friend's garden.

She doesn't know the name of the bird but she told me that it was a medium sized bird with white head. The snapshots were taken in May. The eggs have been hatched and the little birds have flew away leaving behind an empty nest.

Linking to Saturday's Critters.

Like a bird that fills her nest with young she has not hatched

and which will soon desert her and fly away,

so is the man who gets his wealth by unjust means.

Sooner or later he will lose his riches and

at the end of his life become a poor old fool.
