Kopisan Lai Fun For Breakfast & Steamed Fish For Dinner

This was another cloudy day. I have no complain because the nice cool breeze was good for morning walk.

Morning sky at 7:06am.

Sunrise at 7:14am.

Rice Noodle for breakfast (Kopisan lai fun in Cantonese).

This rice noodle originated from the Kopisan village in Gopeng. These days, there are a few outlets in Ipoh and we can enjoy this rice noodle without having to drive all the way to Gopeng. The travelling distance is about 23km and a leisure drive will take about 40 minutes from my house.

We ordered 2 bowls of rice noodle in clear anchovy (ikan bilis) soup, served with toasted sesame seeds and spring onion.

Some stuffed ingredients (yeong liew in Cantonese) to go with the noodle.

The above fried item can only be found in the lai fun stalls that originated from Kopisan. It is crispy on the outside and soft inside. One of the ingredients in this item is the crispy and fragrant fried pork lard.

Balsam plants and cockscomb plants in front of my house.

Cockscomb plants are self-propagating and they need very little care.

Simple home cooked dinner for 2.

There are days I will plan what I want to cook for dinner but some days, I will just cook whatever is available in the fridge.

Egg and onion omelette.

Napa cabbage and carrot.

Steamed grouper fish with lots of ginger strips, drizzled with garlic oil, oyster and soy sauce. I prefer not to keep fish too long in the freezer because we can easily get fresh fish every Friday morning.

Men have trained, or can train, every kind of animal or bird

that lives and every kind of reptile and fish,

but no human being can tame the tongue.

It is always ready to pour out its deadly poison.

Sometimes it praises our heavenly Father, and sometimes

it breaks out into curses against men who are made like God.

(James 3:7-9, The Living Bible-TLB)
