It was raining for the last 2 days and nights. We felt like we were up in the highlands because the weather was so nice and cool that we didn't even needed to switch on the fan to sleep. The sad thing is that there were terrible flooding in many places and many have to be evacuated. There were so much damage caused by the flood.
We haven't been out for morning walk because of the rain for 3 mornings. The following sky photos were taken before the rain started. It was a cloudy day.
Kledang Hill partially covered by morning mist.

From my garden.
One of my home grown green brinjal, almost 1 foot long.
This photo was taken on a clear day. Still keeping watch over the bananas for the right time to harvest the bunch of bananas. Notice the torn banana leaves? The birds have been stripping off the leaves to build their nest.

I took this snapshot in August, 2020. We were on our way home from our holiday in Penang and we decided to stop for a visit our friends.
Linking to Monday Mural.

I hope your home did not flood or have any damage!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginny. Our home is on high ground and we are not affected.
DeletePok Choy sound yummy.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Thank you, Dora.
DeleteWeather can be scary. It was a flooding that brought Ingo to Braunschweig for good, though.
ReplyDeleteOh, I think I saw pak choy at the grocery here!
Hope the man didn´t pop from his coffee ;-) Funny mural.
Thank you, Iris.
DeleteI love steamed chicken with tong kwai but dunno how true it is but they say, men shouldn't eat a lot of tong kwai. Any idea why? Wowwww!!!! Your bananas! So big and fat!!!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea why. I only use a few slices in this recipe just to add fragrance to the dish. The bananas look big but they are actually tiny.
DeleteI had my morning walk today. Better weather today. Been raining over the weekend so did not go for morning walk. Steamed chicken is nice to eat but my kids don't like it. So seldom make at home.
ReplyDeleteTrue, young kids do not like steamed dishes, they prefer fried. But steamed is healthier for elderlies.
DeleteIt is misty in kl too. Very cold. I miss the sun. Wow! That brinjal is so long. Hope you get to harvest the banana at the right time. Do you know what kind of birds take the banana leaves to build their nests?
ReplyDeleteThe rain stopped and today is sunny. I have no idea what birds, they were too fast for me to take snapshot.
DeleteWhat a nice places , thanks for your sharing...
ReplyDeleteThank you and have a nice day.
DeleteSorry about the flood damage! Your food looks good! That brinjal is really huge. Hope the bananas are soon ripe! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThank you, Valerie. Hugs. Stay safe.
DeleteThe steamed chicken with chinese herbs looks really appetizing, Nancy. Wish I could taste some of your homegrown bananas!

DeleteThe dried banana leaves are very suitable to serve as nests.In regions close to the coasts, of the Gulf of Mexico, people often use this type of leaves to make nests for poultry
ReplyDeleteThank you, Norma. This is new to me.
DeleteYour second shot is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteThank you, William.

ReplyDeleteHope all is well there now
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jo-Anne. Pray for the flood victims, help to reach them soon.
DeleteI'm running late because I was having problems leaving comments on Sunday. Sorry to read about the floods in your area. I enjoyed the mural because it looked like the man was really enjoying his coffee.
ReplyDeleteThank you and have a wonderful day.
DeleteSiento lo de las inundaciones, espero que todo vaya bien. Besos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
DeleteSuch a long brinjal. How do you know when it's ready to harvest?
ReplyDeleteWonder if baby bak choy is also what they call 'nai pak'.
I too am not very sure but if the brinjal feels soft when I squeezed it lightly, then it is nice and tender. If it is a bit hard, then it is old with hardened seeds. I prefer to harvest them earlier before the seeds hardened.
