Mee Jawa, Yam Bean Fritters & Steamed Chicken

This was a Wednesday, 2 weeks ago. It was another day with gloomy sky.

Sunrise at 7:45am.
For breakfast, hubby went out to town to buy mee jawa.
I thought of buying fried noodle but the stall was closed.
So, we drove back to our own place to buy my favourite - yam bean fritters. I bought 4 pieces at 90 cents per piece.
We also bought the above - 3 pieces for RM5.
From top clockwise: siew pau, curry puff and yam puff.
We shared the above for lunch. I cut everything into halves.
From top clockwise: yam puff, siew pau & curry puff.
We had the above for breakfast and lunch.

Home cooked dinner.
Steamed free range chicken (half a chicken) with tong kuai slices, ginger slices, red dates, and goji berries. This time I forgot to add in home made glutinous rice wine.
Steamed home grown green brinjals and purple brinjals, sprinkled with garlic oil, oyster and soy sauce.
Steamed home grown snake beans and ladies' fingers, drizzled with garlic oil, oyster and soy sauce.
I didn't want any rice, so I cooked 1 packet of Indomie instant noodle for hubby. Add a spoonful of spicy dried shrimp chili to the noodle.
The above 2 big plates of vegetables were the reason why I didn't want any rice.

From my garden.
I was watering my plants when I spotted these big grasshoppers.
One was piggybacking on the other.
These 2 were big grasshoppers. They weren't there when I went to check in the evening. They were probably paying a visit to my garden

  1. 4 pieces for 90 sen, so so so cheap!!! Oooo...the yam puff! My girl loves that - no good ones here! Siew pao looks good too!

    The mee jawa sure looks different from the ones we have here. Ours is reddish with the sweet potato in the gravy.

    1. I will usually ask for extra sambal for the mee jawa if I were to order but this time hubby ordered, so the colour was minus the sambal oil.

  2. I love eating this and that items like the mix and match items you bought for breakfast until I don't have stomach space for main meals. Do you think the two grasshoppers are mating? They are like, excuse us, ma'am, may we have some privacy please!? 😁😂

    1. Yes, I could just reach out and touch the grasshoppers. Surprisingly, they were not scared off by my presence.

  8. I love to eat steamed chicken very much, home made must be even more delicious! I must have rice with the dishes, if not it would be too flavourful for me. That's just me.

    1. If I decided not to have rice, I will put in less salt or else it will be too salty for me.

  15. The yam fritters look really excellent - and so reasonably priced. But the stars of the show this time are those fabulous grasshoppers. I would have really enjoyed seeing them.

  21. Hola, Nancy. Yo que soy muy goloso, entre la deliciosa comida que has preparado hoy, hecho en falta el postre. Aquí en Andalucía (España) solemos decir: que una comida sin postre es, como ponerse un traje, sin corbata. Me encanta los dulces.
    Que tengas un bonito y feliz domingo.
