A start to a cloudy day. Nice and cool for our morning walk.
Start of morning walk at 7:05am
Sunrise at 7:55am, end of morning walk.

We were supposed to buy breakfast but saw that dine-in is allowed.
It was my turn to order mee jawa. The lady boss is an Indonesian married to a local and can speak very good Cantonese.
Hubby ordered wonton noodle with 2 sui kao.
Wonton noodle served with chicken and mushroom.

Home cooked dinner.
Steamed prawns with ginger strips, red dates, goji berries and home made raisin wine.
Stir fried French beans with dried shrimp. I added an egg, cleared the last one so that I can buy a new batch of eggs.

Linking to Monday Mural.
I will give them - in my house,
within my walls - a name far greater than the honor
they would receive from having sons and daughters.
For the name that I will give them is an everlasting one;
it will never disappear.
(Isaiah 56:5, New Living Translation - NLT)
This artist is very talented!
ReplyDeleteYes, he is. Thank you, Ginny.
DeleteYa, we also fry our French beans like that. How come your steamed prawns are not red in colour? Usually, after cooking, they will turn red. We've tried steaming "drunken prawns" before but we were not very successful, not as nice as in the restaurants, dunno where we went wrong.
ReplyDeleteThe mee jawa and wanton mee both look really good. We have Indonesian helpers here at the noodle stalls - they speak Foochow and Mandarin so well. Put me to shame!!! *face palm*
Surprisingly the prawns didn't turn red. Could it be that I added the wine or did something? But the prawns were very fresh and tasted good. Fyi, I too am ashamed that I can speak my own dialect properly and only knows a few words of Mandarin. Ya, feel so ashamed.
DeleteA beautiful mural
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bertiebo.
DeleteThis is the only time so far i have seen pale chicken slices with mushrooms on top of wanton Mee. Must be the unique dish of this stall. Your Mee jawa looks good. Makes me think of the Mee jawa in ss2 chow yang coffee shop. Your prawns dish looks so delicious but I am lazy to peel the prawns shells. Your husband is ok to peel prawns shells? I am curious cos he doesn't like to eat meat off the fish bones.
ReplyDeleteHubby is ok with prawns but no with fish because he doesn't like fish. Lol!
DeleteWould you ever have thought to read the words "dine-in is allowed"?!
ReplyDeleteOh, boy-oh-boy. It´s progress, but...ohhhh....
Hmmm... ginger! I need to remember to buy some.
And to a cuppa!
Thank you, Iris. We are glad that some of our favourites places are opening up for dine-in.
DeleteThat's a nice mural and certainly a big one by the look of it.
ReplyDeleteThe beans look nice, love beans.
Thank you, Margaret.
Deleteit has been ages since i last had prawns!
ReplyDeleteThe morning market is open and happened to see prawns, so quickly buy some.
DeleteHi Nancy, your food looks wonderful again. And I love the mural, it's very well painted. Have a great week, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThank you, Valerie.
DeleteI am not sure about steamed prawns. We like them cooked quickly in a little butter so they are soft inside and the shells are crispy. We can then eat the shells as well. Great wall mural.
ReplyDeleteNow winter has arrived I hope to keep up more with blogs, sorry summer was a busy time for me with the garden and the kitchen.
Keep safe Diane
Thank you, Diane. Looking forward to your photos and posts. Take care and stay safe.
DeleteThe noodle and mee Jawa looked good. So much green on top of the mee Jawa.
ReplyDeleteRaisin wine? Something like grape wine??
Thank you, Rose. Instead of fresh grapes, I used raisins.
DeleteI had never heard of raisin wine. The food looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNice mural, thanks for participating in Monday Murals Nancy.
I used raisins to make the wine instead of fresh grapes.
DeleteThe food all looks delicious and I love that mural!

Thank you, Julia.
DeleteNice breakfast, but your homemade dinner is the BEST!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie.
DeleteBeautiful morning. I'm happy to report that it's raining here. Finally. We needed it so badly.
ReplyDeleteI love your food. Yummy and now my stomach is growling.
Have a fabulous day and week, Nancy. ♥
At this moment, I can hear the distance thunder rolling. Forecasted that there will be thunderstorm.
DeleteThat mee jawa looks very good, very nicely presented and appetizing. Did not know Cantonese is spoken in Malaysia.
ReplyDeleteWhere I stay, Cantonese is the main dialect followed by others such as Hakka, Hokkien, etc.
DeleteI always get hungry when I visit you, Nancy. That is a stunning mural. So very well done showing the Uncle's wrinkles and everything.
ReplyDeleteThank you, B&E
DeleteI love your mural, and you know I love your food and skies.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!!
Thank you, Yogi. Have a great week too.
DeleteOh wow... your dinner looks absolutely delicious!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Heidi.
DeleteThat's a wonderful mural, and it looks like you had a nice, long walk.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mimi.
DeleteLindo mural, me dio ganas de fideos. Te mando un beso
ReplyDeleteThank you, JP.
DeleteCoffee is always good
ReplyDeleteThank you, Denton.
DeleteThank you, Francisco.
ReplyDeleteI don't like prawns or seafood at all
ReplyDeleteI love seafood but have to cut down. Dare not take too much.
DeleteRaisin wine sounds interesting. I like the thinly-sliced french beans.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stacy.
DeleteTus comidas siempre son interesantes. Besos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
DeleteSeldom can find chicken in wanton noodles in SG, usually is char siew.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, same here too. So far, I know of this only one.
