When we eat the same food too often, we can get bored. We have been limiting ourselves to the food found in our area and after a few months, we started to think of food which we don't have in our area. So for this particular morning, after we have finished our morning walk, we drove to Menglembu.
Hor Hee or Fish Balls Noodle for hubby (on the left)
Prawn Noodle for me (on the right).
Both without their soup.
Our breakfast.
Both noodles with their soup added.
Since we can't go to Penang Island for Prawn Noodle or Hokkien Mee, this prawn noodle will do to satisfy my craving. Instead of pork slices, they give fish cake slices.
I harvested the above from my garden: angled luffa, deep purple brinjal and some green brinjals. I gave the angled luffas to a friend and my sis, and kept the brinjals for myself.
Later in the morning, a friend came over to give me some of her home grown mulberries and banana.
Pisang awak has soft texture and not very sweet compared to other types of banana.

Linking to Monday mural.
Blessed is the Lord,
for he has shown me that his never-failing love
protects me like the walls of a fort!
(Psalm 31:21, The Living Bible-TLB)
The prawns look nice and the murals on the school wall look great.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Margaret.
DeleteI also have a pot of mulberry but they are not very productive and the fruits, if any, are very small. So sad.
ReplyDeleteI would go for the fish balls noodles. I love noodles in clear soup.
Wowwwww!!! Huge prawns!!! You don't get to see such huge ones at the shops and stalls here unless you pay extra.
Saw your comment in Claire's blog on eating tapioca leaves at the Filipino place in Sacramento. I used to cook it quite often this way:

...but I forgot to add the serai (lemon grass) that day
or you can add pumpkin - very nice too:

Only 1 stall is selling good quality and big prawns like these. I bought 1 packet worth RM50. I divide the prawns for 2 meals.
DeleteWhen I was working, I used to see my colleagues eating the tapioca leaves as ulam or cooked as lemak dish. So far I haven't tried any of them. The one you showed in your post looks delicious.
DeleteThose Chinese murals, they are so beautiful. I would need some time to study them and their meaning
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bertiebo. The murals are very meaningful.
DeleteLove those fresh mullberries and the harvest from your own garden!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie.
DeleteTo share your homegrown and receive theirs is a beautiful and healthy thing! And there's a lot of paintings on the wall to watch!
ReplyDeleteHave a good week
Thank you, Jeevan.
DeleteAmen.
ReplyDeleteThank you, RR.
Delete...the prawns look great.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom.
DeleteI'm with you, the prawn noodles look wonderful. Have a wonderful day Nancy.
ReplyDeleteCruisin Paul
Thank you, Paul. Have a wonderful day too.
DeleteThose mulberries look interesting. I have never had them.
ReplyDeleteThe darker colour ones are sweeter.
DeleteOh the food. My stomach growled when I was looking at the food.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week, Nancy. ♥
Thank you, Sandee. Have a fabulous day and week too.
DeleteI always leave here hungry. Prawns are SO expensive where I live. You are so lucky they are accessible there.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that wall of murals. They must be a real treat to see each one of them up close. Thanks so much for sharing them and for the close-up of the one, Nancy.
These sea water prawns are more expensive. The farmed ones are cheaper but they are not as good as the sea water prawns.
DeleteLooks nice❤
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kinga.
Deletethe Chinese art murals painted - very interesting!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Elena.
DeleteI love the mural!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginny.
DeleteLove both noodles as I find noodles easier to eat than rice. Do you know what hor hee means and what dialect is that in? To me, when I hear hor hee, I think of fish paste wantons that are quite difficult to find in kl, easier to find in Ipoh.
ReplyDeleteSorry Mun, I have no idea what hor hee means. Besides the normal fish balls, hor hee has a type of dumpling shaped like a disc and that is my favourite.
DeleteThe dumpling shaped like a dish is known as fish paste wanton, that's what I was told. To me hor hee means this dish shaped dumpling.
DeleteYes, only hor hee fun has this special dish shaped dumpling and sometimes I will ask to add extra one.
DeleteIt's nice to hear you can go to other areas now, it sounds like there are fewer restrictions and that's progress.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mimi. We can go further than 10km now, can cross districts but only within the state.
DeleteGeniales la berenjenas y las frutas. Me dio antojo de fideo con camarones. Te mando un beso
ReplyDeleteThank you, JP.
DeleteYou live in a great place - your garden sounds like paradise :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat languages do you speak that you have a Chinese school (wth great murals).
Thank you, Iris. I was sent to an English school. I can only understand a few words of Chinese (Mandarin) and I can speak dialects like Cantonese and Hokkien.
DeleteThis looks delicious :-)

DeleteMore food Tim would like but not me
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jo-Anne. Have a good day.
DeleteOh the mulberries. As a kid the local cemeterey was filled with mulberry trees and as childreen our Uncle Louie would take us there to pick those berries. We just ate handfuls form the trees because once the birds got there they would be all gone. I have not seen themin years. Thank yoi for helpoing me remember that wonderul memory.
ReplyDeleteThat was a sweet memories of your childhood days with your Uncle Louie.
DeleteThank you, Francisco.
ReplyDeleteMe gustan los murales. Besos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
DeleteThe mulberries are still red. What will you do with them?
ReplyDeleteThe murals on the wall are well executed.
I ate all of them because hubby doesn't want.
