Mangosteen & Take Away Dinner


Started out on our morning walk a bit late.

Sunrise at 7:20am
On the reverse side, clouds over the Kledang Hill.

~~~~~
We detoured and walked over to where the shops are to buy breakfast.
Hubby bought nasi lemak and 2 hum chim peang.
I wanted to eat crackers with orange + ginger jam.
Mangosteen is one of my favourite fruits. I bought these for RM4 per kilo. Some places are now selling RM5 to RM6 per kilo.
 Mangosteen is claimed to have cooling effect and helps to cool down our body heat especially after consuming lots of durians.
We love this sweet, sourish juicy white pulp.
Can you spot the mourning dove under my porch.
There were actually 2 and they were cooing to each other.
~~~~~
The weather was hot and humid and I went into lazy mode.
Hubby went out to buy take away food.
He chose 3 types of dishes: Fried black pomfret, sweet sour mustard green and stinky beans with minced pork.
He also bought 2 portion of rice.
Ending this post with an evening sky shot.
Hope it will rain later in the night.

What is faith? It is the confident assurance
hat something we want is going to happen.
It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us,
even though we cannot see it up ahead.
(Hebrews 11:1, The Living Bible-TLB)

  3. I've finished all my black pomfret. Went back and bought some "kilat" for a change, so very nice. Blogpost on it coming soon. I am not into mangosteens but I read somewhere it is good for health, the skin has some special benefits.

    1. I like "kilat" too especially deep fried. I don't know about the special benefits of the skin. Will need to do some research first.

  7. Long time did not eat hum chi peang, I like the savoury saltish ones more than the sweet tau sa ones. I am tempted to eat mangosteens now, looking at its flesh from your photo.

  8. Stinky beans are my favourite and can eat them any style! Except raw which some people do. You have a lot of hills around your housing area. Must be super cool in the mornings. Mangosteens always sell with durians, wonder why?

    1. I have seen my colleagues eat stinky beans raw. When there is durians, there will be mangosteens, rambutans, langsat, etc...all around the same time.

  9. Mangosteens are also one of my favorites. I prefer the small ones because they have no seeds.

  11. You got a super good price for the mangosteens. That day I bought from the neighbourhood fruit stall costs MYR 20 for 1 kg. I like the taste of mangosteens a lot due to the sourish taste. Did both of you eat all 1 kg in one sitting? Cos I am not sure mangosteens need to be stored in the fridge or not if not opened yet so I always give half away and each of us eat 250g each in one sitting.

    1. Mangosteens don't need to be stored in the fridge. It took us 2 to 3 days to finish 4 kg.

  12. Took me a while to find the mourning dove because I was looking for a white dove. Just learnt the name mourning dove. Wonder why call a dove, mourning. Is the partner of the dove in the photo too? I just found one dove in the photo.

  13. Wah your dinner very flavourful. Can eat many plates of rice. Very good, can get a variety of dishes for dinner. Very convenient, no need to cook. For me, I always choose not to cook cos I am lazy like that. 😂 Your husband ok to eat fried pomfret? Or he sayang u, know u like to eat fish so buy fried pomfret for you to eat while he only eats the other two dishes and a bit of the fish meat.
