This was a Saturday with a lovely morning. I took a snapshot before I started my morning walk.
Sunrise at 7:05am
7:10am
7:15am
Can you see the birds on the tree?
They are chirping their morning greetings to one another.

After morning walk, we drove out to the Kg. Simee market.
2.5 kg longkong - RM8 per kg
Both longkong and duku are sweet but longkong is juicer than duku.
Then I stopped to buy 2 pieces of thin peanut+corn pancakes.
Next, we drove to buy chili pan mee for breakfast.
We were late, so we have to wait in the car for about 30 minutes.
While waiting in the car, hubby and I ate the pancakes.
Filling: margarine, sugar, crushed peanut and corn cream.
Since we have the pancakes, I ordered only 1 set of chili pan mee.
Vegetable soup is provided.
This is our favourite chili pan mee.
Later in the morning, we received a package addressed to hubby.
Inside was a pink metal box with 2 mooncakes, individually wrapped.
The price printed on the wrapper - RM22.80
Pandan with Black Sesame mooncake (RM21.80)
We didn't know who ordered these mooncakes from JMM Cookies, Ipoh.
We only found out the next day that it was from hubby's ex-colleague after receiving a call asking him whether he has received a package.
That afternoon, we were blessed with 2 home made mooncakes.
Snow mooncake (left) and lotus+salted egg yolk mooncake (right).
Traditional method of threshing padi or rice.
This snapshot was taken when we visited the KL museum in Dec., 2018.
It is true that I am an ordinary, weak human being,
but I don't use human plans and methods to win my battles.
I use God's mighty weapons, not those made by men,
to knock down the devil's strongholds.
(2 Corinthians 10:3-4, The Living Bible-TLB)
Wish I could taste some of those exotic fruits! The peanut pancake looks great, Nancy.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie.
DeletePretty skies! I am not familiar with duku.
ReplyDeleteThese are local seasonal fruits.
DeleteMy those mooncakes look delicious.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Margaret.
DeleteI've seen sellers adding corn to the peanut pancake but not here.
ReplyDeleteI know duku...and langsat but not longkong - not really a fan of those.
I guess those mushrooms are not edible.
So blessed, got people giving mooncakes. Now who gave the latter two? I like the traditional one on the right, not the Shanghai or the snowskin...or worse, agar agar!
The latter two moon cakes were given by a friend. Hubby also prefers the traditional one. For me, I am not the fussy one even though I have my own preferences.
DeleteI like the corn peanut pancakes the most in this post. You both are so blessed to receive so many mooncakes. Have you made any mooncakes before?
ReplyDeleteI have never tried making my own mooncakes. Too much work involved.
DeleteI saw the tiny birds on the bare trees. It looks like a Winter photo shoot.
ReplyDeleteThank you, TM. This morning I passed by the tree but there was no birds in sight.
DeleteBeautiful skies, I love listening to the birds in the morning! As always your food is fascinating, love those peanut pancakes! Valerie
ReplyDeleteThank you, Valerie.
DeleteFotografias muito interessantes e deliciosas.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa semana.

Thank you, Francisco.
DeleteI like having thin peanut pancake. Not the thicker apam balik
ReplyDeleteThe thick one is very filling.
Delete...threshing rice like many things was difficult back then. Thanks Nancy for sharing this glimpse from the past.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom for hosting.
DeleteHave a wonderful week - and stay healthy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us this week at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2021/09/going-buggy-in-our-yard.html
Thank you, Sue for hosting.
DeleteI miss that thin version of apam! The last time I went to the market (a couple months back by now), I chose the thick one as figured the thin one wouldn't travel well.
ReplyDeleteWow special-looking mooncakes.
The thick one is filling but nice also especially with lots of filling. The thin one is nice when eaten fresh when still crispy.
DeleteBoth the pancakes and mooncakes look delicious. Yums!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Libby.
DeleteThose mooncakes look very interesting Nancy.
ReplyDeleteCruisin Paul

DeleteI don't mind fancy flavours for my mooncakes so i will like the snow mooncake. So blessed to be receiving mooncakes as gifts.
ReplyDeleteI am grateful for the mooncake gifts and will enjoy them.
DeleteWhat a ınteresting pancake :) thanks for your sharing..

DeleteSuch an interesting and unusual food!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Elena.
DeleteYour mooncake looks quite a bit different then ours.

DeleteLove and miss mooncakes from Amway. Long time didnt have duku. The pancakes look good.
