Salted Chicken, Wild Boar Rendang & Green Amaranth

It was a day with overcast sky.

Morning sky.
~~~~~
A friend came to visit and we received a salted chicken, which we heated up for dinner by steaming.
The price of a salted chicken is almost RM30. Inside the cavity of the chicken, you can find 2 pieces of "tong kwai" (Chinese herb).
Wild boar curry rendang bought from an Indian stall.
Home grown green amaranth in soup and egg.
We had the above with steamed brown rice.
A dear friend propagated this plant for me.
I think this is the Cranberry hibiscus.
Wall mural: 2 kids on a paper plane.
The mural is now quite faded. 

Linking to Monday Mural.

The shallow, rocky soil represents the heart of a man
who hears the message and receives it with real joy,
but he doesn't have much depth in his life,
and the seeds don't root very deeply,
and after a while when trouble comes,
or persecution begins because of his beliefs,
his enthusiasm fades, and he drops out.
(Matthew 13:20-21, The Living Bible-TLB)

  1. Very common at your side, wild boar curry or rendang. Here, at the shops, they will fry with soy sauce and all the serai, lengkuas, ginger etc etc...etc...so no offensive smell. I am very picky when buying the meat - if the meat is good, no need for all these things - just cook in our very simple ways, so so so nice!

    1. The wild boar curry doesn't have any offensive smell because of the spices in the curry. And the meat is tender and not tough.

  6. Is the Salted Chicken a kampung chicken? The Wild Boar Rendang looks good. I would go for your home grown Green Amaranth which is yummy! 😋
