Wonton Noodles & Dumplings For Dinner

It has been raining daily especially in the late afternoon. Sometimes, it will be a short downpour. Sometimes, the rain continued until the wee hours of the next morning.

Sunrise at 6:55am, the morning after a rainy night.
~~~~~
After clearing my garden of weeds and ageing plants, I didn't cook dinner. Hubby went out to buy wonton noodle from Cheong Kee in Buntong village.
Wonton noodle with pork strips and beansprouts (dry version).
Wonton dumplings in soup.
I added the above blanched vegetable (choy fah), topped with crunchy chili oil and soy sauce.
This was our simple dinner that evening.

The following photos and videos were from a dear friend. She saw this cute squirrel on her neighbour's coconut tree one morning. Photos and videos credited to Shirley.
The squirrel was busy biting away at the young coconut.
With its sharp and strong teeth, it bit a hole to get to the tender flesh of the young coconut.
The following are 2 short video showing the squirrel busy at work.



Jesus entered Jericho and made his way through the town.
There was a man there named Zacchaeus.
He was the chief tax collector in the region,
and he had become very rich. He tried to get a look at Jesus,
but he was too short to see over the crowd.
So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree beside the road,
for Jesus was going to pass that way.
When Jesus came by, he looked up at Zacchaeus
and called him by name. "Zacchaeus!" he said.
"Quick, come down! I must be a guest in your home today."
(Luke 19:1-5, New Living Translation-NLT)

  2. No meat in the wanton, only skin? Love the mee, not swimming in the sauce like those I had in KL.

  4. I will eat less Wonton Noodles & eat more Dumplings cos dumplings are easier to eat. The squirrel is so diligent to look for food. Hope it doesn't go hungry. Do u know whether your friend's me neighbour mind or not that the squirrel ate the coconut?

  16. What a beautiful sunrise. That squirrel is getting quite a workout for some coconut milk. I'll be cleaning up weeds until next winter, but I do love gardening anyway.

    1. Lol! I will only weed my garden when I am in the right mood. I will need a few days to weed the whole garden. I love gardening but dread the weeding.

    1. It seems the lady boss told hubby that those were torn dumpling skins added to the dumplings in the soup and no charge.
