This was last Wednesday. As usual, we went for morning walk.
Bauhinia Kockiana blooms.
After morning walk, we drove out to town for breakfast.
Ma Jie curry noodle at Restoran Yee Lock.
The olden days domestic Chinese maids from China were called "ma jie".
This snapshot with the low cloud and hills was taken at about 11.20am.
A dulang washer's tools on the bicycle.
A dulang washer refers to a person who pans for tin ore or sediments at the water's edge. Historically, the Kinta valley was very rich in tin.
The man who knows right from wrong and
has good judgment and common sense is happier
than the man who is immensely rich!
For such wisdom is far more valuable than precious jewels.
Nothing else compares with it.
(Proverbs 3:13-15, The Living Bible-TLB)
Curry noodles? The sauce looks like tomato sauce gravy. I did dine out the other morning...finally after all this time - will blog about it soon.
ReplyDeleteIt is because the curry oil is not very red. The curry is quite mild and not very spicy.

DeleteI tried to plant this Kockiana blooms and gave up after walking through several nursery farms. They don't sell this beautiful plant.
ReplyDeleteI got this plant many years ago. The nursery near my place has these plants for sale. If they do not have, we can give snapshot and name of plant to the seller and they will inform us when the plants are available.

DeleteThe Bauhinia Kockiana blooms are lovely. The curry noodles are delicious especially with pudina leaves. Do both of you like to eat the pudina leaves with the curry noodles?
ReplyDeleteI am the only one eating the leaves.

DeleteLas flores son preciosas y no recuerdo haberlas visto nunca por mi país; los fideos tienen una pinta riquísima,; y en cuanto a lo del estaño, siempre he sabido que los yacimientos más antiguos de este metal, estaban en China, pero, lo que no sabía era que se consiguiera por el sistema de bateo.
ReplyDeleteQue disfrutes de una feliz semana.
Thank you, Manuel.

Thank you, Jyoti.
DeleteI am not familiar with Bauhinia Kockiana but the blossoms are lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Pretty.
DeleteBecause I read about the curry noodles you had, I went to eat curry noodles for lunch today. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI can never get bored with curry noodles.
DeleteI almost confuse ma jie with samsui women (hong tou Jing) who are female Chinese immigrants who came to malaya and Singapore during 1920s and 1940s in search of construction work.
ReplyDeleteMa jie were the house maids and both groups worked very hard.
DeleteTodo interesante. Besos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
