Enjoy Mooncakes While They Are Freshly Baked

We thought there will be no morning walk when we woke up because it was raining. Surprisingly, it stopped a short while later. When we started out, the ground was still wet and the air fresh and cool. Today, I am combining 2 days posting into 1 post.

Day #1

The top of Kledang Hill was shrouded in mist - 7:30am.

Morning sky with dark cloud looming over us - 7:40am

A lone bird perched on the power cable.

Home cooked instant noodle with steamed pork rib with preserved black bean, leftover from the previous day's dinner.

I prefer to add some dried shrimp chili to my plate of noodle.

We stopped at a roadside stall selling biscuits, cakes and unbranded mooncakes. The mooncake festival is about 4 weeks away but mooncakes are already on sale. I have not bought mooncakes for many years, whatever we had were gifts from friends and neighbour. I couldn't resist because the mooncakes were freshly baked. I ended up buying 2 different types of mooncakes to taste.  

This is 5 mixed nuts mooncake which is my favourite.

Love this 5 nuts mooncake but now I have to take a long time to chew on the nuts because my gum is not as strong as before. It is fresh, tastes good, less oily and not very sweet.

This is white lotus paste with single salted egg yolk mooncake.

This is hubby's favourite. I took a piece (cut into 8 pieces) to taste.

This is also fresh, tastes good, less oily and not very sweet.

Simple home cooked dinner.

Just 1 dish (sambal stinky bean with minced pork and dried shrimp) dinner. This dish is best eaten with white rice. 

My neighbour doesn't eat stinky beans so I kept this extra portion in the fridge for another day's dinner.

Day #2

A cool morning after a whole night's rain.

Mist or low cloud surrounding the hill.

Received 2 big steamed buns (tai pau) from our neighbour.

1 for hubby and 1 for me.

Steamed big bun filled and packed with delicious ingredients.

Since we like and enjoyed the mooncakes, I went back to the same stall to buy 4 more mooncakes:

2 white lotus paste with single salted egg yolk (RM6.80 each),

1 with 5 mixed nuts (RM7.80 each)

and 1 with 5 mixed nuts with Chinese ham (RM8.40).

No more buying of mooncakes, enough for this year.

The cook was in lazy mode, so we went out to buy dinner.

We bought fried noodle (Mamak mee goreng), 2 pieces fried chicken and some potato fries.

Since the vaccination program started, coconut water has been a hot selling item. There are about 5 stalls selling coconut water and they are enjoying roaring business. People has been queuing up to buy coconut water. It is believed that drinking coconut water helps to reduce side effects of vaccine such as fever and etc.

If you love someone,

you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost.

You will always believe in him, always expect the best of him,

and always stand your ground in defending him.
