Kampua Noodle With Minced Pork + Diced Mushroom Topping

This was last Monday. When we work woke up, it was still drizzling.

I went out to check at about 7:20am and found that the drizzling has stopped.
I went in to inform hubby and to change into my walking attire.
Surprise that the moon was still visible at the time.
This is the best I can manage with my old phone camera.
Up on my right, this mourning dove was making its "coo, coo" sound.
~~~~~
We had the following for dinner.
I used the last 2 remaining dried kampua noodle that my son bought in Sitiawan to cook for dinner.
I cooked minced pork with diced mushrooms with chopped garlic, oyster sauce, dark and light soy sauce, salt & sugar to taste. Before serving, mix the noodle with topping.
Steamed home grown long green okra or ladies finger and topped with crunchy chili oil, oyster and soy sauce.
Chinese sausages, sliced and pan fried.
Simple and satisfying dinner for 2 people.

My dear friend shared with me this photo of a moth that she found in her garden.
Photo credited to Maguerita.
Using Google Lens, it looks like the Slug Moth.
Can someone please help to identify this moth? Thank you.


Beware of false teachers who come disguised as harmless sheep,
but are wolves and will tear you apart.
You can detect them by the way they act,
just as you can identify a tree by its fruit.
You need never confuse grapevines with thorn
bushes or figs with thistles. Different kinds of fruit trees
can quickly be identified by examining their fruit.
(Matthew 7:15-17, The Living Bible-TLB)

  2. Wish I could try the Sitiawan kampua mee. Family and friends who have tried said they are not the same as the Sibu kampua mee. One actually liked the Sitiawan kompia, also not the same as what we have here.

    1. I think if we do not compare them, we can actually better enjoy them.

  6. Hello Nancy,:=) Lovely sky capture with the moon still viable. Your pork and noodle dish is my kind of food. I wish I could taste it. The side dish with noodles looks good too. What an extraordinary looking moth, it looks like it has two leaves on it's back. I have never seen one like this.
    Enjoy your weekend.

  8. your Kampua Noodle With Minced Pork for dinner looks like those bought from stalls, so professional. The moth sure does look like slug moth though I am not an expert on this. I believe you mean when we woke up instead of work up in the 1st paragraph, right?

  10. Aunque no lleves la cámara fotográfica contigo, siempre está el móvil para fotografíar.

    Aquí hemos tenido varios meses de sequía y llevamos unos días de lluvia, aunque hoy parece que se ha tomado una tregua. El inconveniente, es que la lluvia ha venido mezclada con el polvo del desierto y por dónde va pasando, lo deja todo perdido de suciedad.

    Besos

  15. Nancy I read that okra is used to thicken sauces. I would like to know what it tastes like but I haven't seen it around here.
    How ugly is that moth!

    1. Hi Norma, using okra to thicken sauces is new to me. I don't know how to describe the taste of okra but it is cut, it does give out a slimy substance.

  21. Me parece muy bien esa sana costumbre de salir a caminar aunque el tiempo no acompañe. Por aquí solemos decir: a mal tiempo, buena cara.
    La cena se ve muy apetitosa, y me ha llamado la atención la comida de los fideos que llevó tu hijo, el que le echaras azúcar, ya que nunca probé los fideos o la carne de cerdo, en dulce.
    Gracias por compartir, amiga Nancy.
    Y te envío un abrazo, desde Sevilla.
