It looks like the rainy season is back. The weather is cooler now due to the heavy downpour but it also causes floods in the northern states. Recent report stated that 3 lives were lost and 3 more missing in the floods.
We waited till 7:15am for the drizzling to stop before setting out on our morning walk.
Sunrise at 7:17am
Birds flying in flocks.
We had clouding sky the whole day.
This is the first time since the full lockdown we ventured out to buy our favourite curry noodle in town. We love the thick creamy and tasty curry gravy. After buying the curry noodles, we stopped at the nearby market to buy some local fruits.
We bought 1 kilo of dokong for RM6.
Mangosteen was selling for RM4 per kilo, so I bought 4 kilos.
For lunch, hubby bought steamed rolled noodle with yam bean filling with curry gravy. He added fish balls and fish cake. My lunch consisted of little bits of this and that, just to clear the almost empty containers, have them washed and kept away.
For dinner, I boiled pig's stomach soup with raw ginkgo nuts, white peppercorns and onions. It was a no rice dinner, so we had 1 egg in each bowl. Actually, I wanted to use the last 2 eggs from the old stock before I buy more eggs to keep in the fridge.
These are pink balsam flowers and pink cockscomb flowers in front of my house. These are all self-propagated plants.
If you stay away from sin you will be like one of these dishes
made of purest gold - the very best in the house - so that
Christ himself can use you for his highest purposes.
(2 Timothy 2:21, The Living Bible-TLB)
my fav fruit dokong!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite too.
DeleteI have never seen or had dokong...how do they taste like? The curry noodle looks good.
ReplyDeleteThey look and taste like langsat but sweeter.
DeleteLove your shot of the birds! Ooo...the curry noodles look so creamy, I'd love that! Rolled noodles? We do not have that here - makes me think of laksam.
ReplyDeleteThe rolled noodle is actually chee cheong fun roll with yam bean or sengkuang and dried shrimp as filling.
DeleteHummm uma delicia de comidas.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.

Thank you, Francisco.
DeleteI love pig stomach soup but I don't know how to handle the pig stomach. LOL!
ReplyDeleteThese days I choose the easy way by asking the seller to clean the pig stomach for me for an extra charge. After that, it is easy to clean and I will boil it in water before I use it to boil soup.
DeleteOh-haha. Chancellor Kohl back then had "Saumagen" often - filled pig´s stomach.
ReplyDeleteI´ll pass again ;-)
Floods are not funny (yet they made Ingo move to Braunschweig!).
Curry is always a treat. I wiki-ed dokong and understood it´s sweet.
You sure eat such different food than we do in Germany! Amazing. I learn a lot here!
Thank you, Iris. Enjoy your weekend.

ReplyDeleteI love the curry sauce and fruit, it had to taste great. Good day :)
Thank you, Lucyna. Happy weekend.
DeleteThe weather sounds cool there, just like here with cloudy and rainy sometimes, and I love the birds in flight across the sky. Good to see the pink balsam flowers after a long time.
ReplyDeleteTake care
Thank you, Jeevan. Have a wonderful weekend.
DeleteGood idea to put ginkgo nuts, onions and eggs into the pork stomach pepper soup. We just bought this soup but too bad, they didn't put these extra ingredients which I think would taste great in the soup. Do you have to prep the pork stomach yourself or it was done by the vendor? I understand need to pre boil it with ginger to get rid of unwanted taste.
ReplyDeleteThe pork seller charge a small amount for cleaning the pig stomach. I only did a simple round of cleaning and pre-boil in water before using it to boil soup.
Delete...pig's stomach soup does sound at good to me.
ReplyDeleteDelicious soup.
DeleteSo many birds. Wishing a fine day.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Riitta. Have a fine weekend.
DeleteYou had a cloudy sky all day and we've had smoky skies for days and days from all the fires. We're safe from the fire, but the smoke is bad. Every summer it's the same.
ReplyDeleteLove all the food as always. Today hubby and I are going to our favorite Japanese restaurant for dinner. Been a very long time since we've gone.
Have a fabulous day, Nancy. ♥
Hope your smoky sky will clear soon. Have a fabulous weekend.
DeleteLove the photos of the birds in the sky. So beautiful, Nancy. And I love curry noodles too. Yummy.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gigi.
DeleteI love to drink pig's stomach soup, so peppery and so appetizing.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Libby. Nice soup to warm the stomach.
DeleteI forgot what I was going to write after I read Libby's comment; drink pig's stomach soup, yuk. Sorry Libby and Nancy. My stomach can't take it.
ReplyDeleteCruisin Paul
Hahaha...It's okay, Paul. We understand that pig stomach is too exotic for you.
Deletesteamed rolled noodle with yam bean filling with curry gravy looks so delicious
ReplyDeletein my country dokong called duku, and mangosten caled manggis..both of them i like too...:)
Thank you, Gustyanita. Both fruits are my favourites.
DeleteI love your flying bird photos! They are so sharp and clear, and the backdrop of the sky behind is perfect. What are rolled noodles?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginny. Rolled noodles is rice batter, steamed into sheets and rolled up with yam bean filling or meat or prawn filling.
DeleteSunsets, they can often delight, and after such observations it is good to eat something tasty :)
ReplyDeleteRegards.
Thank you, Boguslaw.
DeleteFabulous sky shots and exotic food, yummy! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThank you, Valerie.
DeleteThe sky and birds look beautiful but what a shame to hear about the floods! I hope you continue to stay safe and eat and make lots of yummy food!
ReplyDeleteHope your week is going well :)

DeleteAdoro tus flores , me dio ganas de las frutas. Te mando un beso
ReplyDeleteThank you, JP.
DeleteLovely
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jo-Anne.
DeleteI am so curious to try that dokong fruit.
ReplyDeleteDokong is the hybrid of duku and langsat. It is sweeter and nicer than duku or langsat.
DeleteMmm the curry sure looks thick! Drooling at the CCF too.
ReplyDeleteYour plants grow so green and lush.
Thank you, Stacy.
DeleteTus flores siempre se ven bonitas. Besos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
