This was Monday, a day after Father's Day. I thought of cooking something special for Father's Day but hubby told me to keep it simple.

On our way home from morning walk, we detoured to the Dim Sum Restaurant to buy steamed buns for breakfast and for lunch.
Hubby didn't want steamed bun so he bought fried economy noodle from the roadside stall. I ate the "kai woh pau" which is steamed bun with a layer of glutinous rice at the bottom.
My breakfast with 2-in-1 black coffee.
Inside of the "kai wor pau".
Steamed bun with chicken and mushroom filling on top of a layer of glutinous rice.

Lunch
We had lunch with warm honey lemon drink.
Glutinous rice wrapped in dried lotus leaf.
Glutinous rice inside the lotus leaf.
Steamed bun or "san yuk pau".
This is hubby's favourite steamed bun.

Our friend called up to inform me that she has ordered fried noodles and the noodles will be delivered to my address. Its a belated Father's Day treat for hubby.
Father's Day dinner which could easily feed 4 people.
I had already boiled soup.
"Wat tan hor" - 1 portion.
Flat rice noodle with thick egg gravy.
Fried rice vermicelli or beehoon - 1 portion.
Blanched beansprout.
Meatballs in clear soup.
Sambal belacan for the noodles.
My friend took advantage of the special promo by Tuck Kee Restaurant.
We realized that the food plus the soup was too much for us so we decided to keep the soup for next day. We managed to finish most of the food except for half of the fried noodle.

A friend sent me the following photos of an iquana that visited her brother's back yard.

Thank you, dear friend for sharing these photos.
Linking to Saturday's Critters.
Our earthly fathers trained us for a few brief years,
doing the best for us that they knew how,
but God's correction is always right and for our best good,
that we may share his holiness.
Being punished isn't enjoyable while it is happening - it hurts!
But afterwards we can see the result,
a quiet growth in grace and character.
(Hebrews 12:10-11, The Living Bible-TLB)
Your post always makes me hungry :) Great closeup of the lizard, especially its eye in the third shot.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom.
DeleteThe iguana looks pretty I agree. I hope it can find food easily and is safe from predators. Where does your friend's brother live to have iguana visiting him?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mun. His back yard is nobody's land. So sometimes he will have wild creepy critters as visitors.
DeleteI have not eaten Kai wor Bao before. Is it like lo Mai kai wrapped in bao?
ReplyDeleteIt is just like normal bao with the mai kai as the bottom layer.
DeleteWow! Lucky u realize dinner was too much food thanks to your friend else you both will need to stuff yourself. Did you heat up the soup before cooling it down to store in the fridge to get rid of any bacterias?
ReplyDeleteLol! One look and we knew we have to keep the soup. Better to finish all the noodles.
DeleteIquana is a nice creature and good to see.
ReplyDeleteLovely friends sending a belated Father's Day meal...

DeleteHi Nancy :) I LOVE the look of that fried noodle dish and also the beehoon! You are educating me on cuisine every time I come here, the whole Father's Day dinner looks delicious! I could use some of that soup, it's very chilly here this morning! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rain. We had a bit of rain these 2 days and it is much cooler now.

ReplyDeleteThank you and have a wonderful day.
DeleteGood thing you didn't try to eat all the food haha. Oh the fatness of those bean sprouts. With all the foodstuff nowadays flying in from countries far away, KL still has only skinny long sprouts.
ReplyDeleteThe fat beansprouts is due to the underground water which is different from KL's.
