Black Pepper Chicken Breast Meat & Paku Pakis Salad

This was a lovely Saturday morning.

Started out on our morning walk at about 6:50am.
Sunrise at 7:16am.
Sunrise through the trees at 7:30am
We had fish noodle for breakfast at our regular coffee shop.
There is a 50 cents increase so it is now RM9.50.
~~~~~
Simple home cooked dinner.
I found 2 pieces of chicken breast meat in the freezer. I forgot what I wanted to do with the breast meat.
This is half a breast meat which I sliced and open up for faster marinating and cooking. Simply marinate the breast meat with salt and black pepper. Pan fried in a non stick pan and served with some chili oil. I usually don't like breast meat but surprisingly it was tender and moist.
Blanched paku paki + onions and roasted sesame dressing.
That morning I passed by a roadside stall selling paku pakis or fern heads. It was selling RM2 for a small bundle. I bought 3 bundles. 
We each had one half of a chicken breast meat with the paku pakis salad and this was a no rice dinner.

At one time, the following hibiscus plant was infested with pest. To rescue the plant, I trimmed it bald and had it repotted.
It is now growing healthily and these are the first 2 blooms after being repotted.
The flowers are big, bigger than my palm and the colours bright and showy.


For this is what the high and exalted One says - he who lives forever,
whose name is holy: "I live in a high and holy place,
but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit,
to revive the spirit of the lowly and
to revive the heart of the contrite.
(Isaiah 57:15, New International Version-NIV)

  2. The plant is thanking you for saving it by giving you big blooms! Very pretty. My vote is for your paku pakis dish - very nice to eat. Is the chicken breast a very big one? Cos after cut into half, it still looks like a lot of meat. Lucky you found it and use it instead it being lost in your fridge.

    1. I totally forgot about the breast meat, only of average size but meaty.

  4. Yes, we do blanch paku sometimes to make kerabu. Very nice and very healthy, no cooking needed! The ethnic folks also sell RM2 a bundle here, usually around half a kilo but the vegetable sellers sell by the kilo - may work out to more or less the same.

  5. I do like paku especially fried in belachan or with santan. Luckily you managed to save the hibiscus, it is lovely with the red centre

  16. Cooking chicken breast meat is tricky. High enough to be safe but just a tad over that and it is dry.
    You are quite the gardener saving your plant.
    I love how you take photos of the sky almost every day.

  17. I always enjoy your food. We love chicken breast, but it's with a sauce of some kind. Makes it far better. Overcooking can mess up chicken breast too.

    Have a fabulous day and weekend, Nancy. ♥

    1. I was suppose to make a sauce but ended up with none, so chili oil came to the rescue.
