The rainy season is here and we have been having rain almost daily. Moderate rain is good for my plants and it helps cut down on electricity bill.
Morning sky at 7:06am.
On the reverse side, misty hills.
Simple breakfast consisting of Chinese crullers, ma keok and black coffee.
These angled luffas were harvested from my garden 2 days earlier and I gave some to my sister and a friend. 2 luffas is enough to cook a dish for 2 people.
The final harvest of angled luffas.
~~~~~
Rice and peanut porridge for lunch.
I almost forgot about the last few small taros in the fridge. They were still good and can be eaten. I boiled the small taros and removed the skin. Then I poured the leftover gravy from a dish over the taro. Boiled all 3 salted eggs because they have been sitting in the fridge for a long time.
~~~~~
Dine-in dinner in a food court.
It was only 5:20pm and not many people around.
I thought of ordering the pandan rice but there were people queuing up. Hubby ordered curry noodle (no photo to show).
Hubby ordered grilled stingray so I decided not to order any food for myself. I made a cup of milo for myself before I went to bed.

The following photo was taken at the Antong Coffee Mill in Taiping.
Old fashioned grinding stones or pounding stones. Many of these are still in use. These were made from granite stones.
You cannot separate fools from their foolishness,
even though you grind them like grain with mortar and pestle.
(Proverbs 27:22, New Living Translation-NLT)
I love seeing your garden harvests! Have a great day!

Thank you, Lovely. Have a great day too.
DeleteInteresting to see your food court.
ReplyDeleteYour luffas look interesting.
Thank you, Margaret.
DeleteThose angled luffas are looking so fresh and good! Love that breakfast :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie.
DeleteYou had a good harvest of angled luffas. I would love to eat that grilled stingray!
ReplyDeleteThank you, PH. So far to our knowledge and taste, this is the best grilled stingray in Ipoh.
DeleteI have porridge in my blogpost tomorrow. Hop over and have a look, eh?
ReplyDeleteI also had ma keok that day - we call it ma ngee here in Foochow, horse's ears. Will blog about it too, coming soon.
Wahhhhh!!! So many people in the queue, no physical distancing!!! Aiyorrrr!!!! I would run away quickly!!!
I will order grilled sting ray at the Malay stalls here but I have never bought the fish to cook myself. They say there is an unpleasant smell if one does not know how to do it.
That is why I didn't join the queue even though I wanted very much to buy from the stall. So far, this is the best grilled stingray fish we get to taste.
Deletethose luffas look interesting. and stingray? i've never heard of that being eaten. the things you learn.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sherry. Not many people enjoy stingray but we love grilled stingray.
DeleteHmmmm, your breakfast looks very yummy!
ReplyDelete(And awww, I love rain)
The luffas look a bit like our cucumber, what do they taste like? (ours a bit like... "nothing", LOL).
The eggs look just perfect.
You´d (maybe?) be surprised I have such a grinding thing right here.
Good quote.
Thank you, Iris. The luffa looks like cucumber but doesn't taste like cucumber. They are soft and sponge and sweet. Some homes still have the grinding stones.
DeleteYour breakfast looks great, Nancy. What do luffas taste like? I have never seen them here. The grilled stingray looks good, too. Have a great day, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThank you, Valerie. Luffa is soft and spongy and taste a bit sweet when cooked. Have a great day too.
Delete3 salted eggs are a lot for two persons. Hopefully they are not that salty. Being able to grown one's own food is such an achievement. Well done to you! Are there any edible plants to you target to grow which you haven't planted yet?
ReplyDeleteKept the leftover salted eggs for next meal. Will see what seeds I will be able to get before I decide.
Delete,,,somethings never seem to wear out and these stones are a good example, Thanks Nancy for stopping by, enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom for hosting. Enjoy your week too.
DeletePeople are tough to be able to use heavy stones for grinding.
ReplyDeleteYour breakfast looks especially good to me, and the angled luffas, i want to try them someday.
Thank you, Mimi. I wouldn't know how to handle the heavy stones.
DeleteMuito interessante este restaurante.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa semana.

Thank you, Francisco. Have a good week.
Deletei have porridge too for today's lunch! but no salted egg coz we didn't manage to buy one. I usually take half salted egg coz one is too much.
ReplyDeleteSome salted eggs are very salty.
DeleteGrilled stingray???!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, grilled stingray. Lol!
DeleteI want some of the stingray. I've never had it before.
ReplyDeleteI too love the stones. Wow. I had no idea they were used for coffee grinding.
Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday, Nancy. ♥
Thank you, Sandee. The grinding stones can be used for grinding anything. Have a fabulous day.
DeleteI had no idea that sting ray can be eaten!!
ReplyDeleteThis is the small type of stingrays that are edible.
DeleteOh we have rainy weather too! Great delicious photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kathe.
DeleteInteresting to see your old grinding stones. We have exactly the same ones in Tamil Nadu too
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ashok.
DeleteI'm going to sound silly here but.. you can actually eat stingray?! Wow! I want to try some!! - http://www.domesticgeekgirl.com
ReplyDeleteYes, these stingrays are edible. Good for grilling and for cooking curries.
DeleteThe cloudy sky in your first picture looks ominous! Heavy rain is on the way. I like a mild, quiet rain. Heavy rains and storms frighten me.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind heavy rain as long as there is no strong howling wind and flooding.
DeleteVery moody skies.
ReplyDeleteMostly moody skies these days.
DeleteI love seeing your garden harvests!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Azka.
DeleteMe dio ganas de buñuelos chinos. Te mando un beso
ReplyDeleteThank you, JP.
DeleteI've ate shark before, although I haven't had stingray.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Thank you, Dora. I have tasted shark meat. Usually cooked in curries.

DeleteI was unaware that stingray are edible. I've never seen it on offer here.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2021/10/the-old-mill.html
Thank you, Sue. I know this particular type of stingray is edible, not sure about others.
DeleteA baby luffa! Can the baby taro be used just like the big ones?
ReplyDeleteOhh I haven't had grilled stingray in ages.
I usually steam or boil the baby taro.
DeleteInteresantes tus verduras. Besos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
