Beef With White Bitter Gourd

On this particular morning, we had breakfast at one of the nearby coffee shop after our morning walk.

I noticed that the Hong Kong chee cheong fun stall is being managed by new people. We were told that the previous one has passed the business to one of their relatives. I ordered a plate to try and it was good.
Hubby ordered fried koay teow with prawns, egg and beansprouts.
Midday sky at 12:40pm.

I had some beef in the freezer that I bought from the wet market. I took it out to thaw and cut into slices, and marinate in the fridge. I divided the beef slices into 2 portion for 2 dinners.
1st dinner - 1 dish with steamed brown rice.
Beef slices with home grown white bitter gourd using ginger slices, chopped garlic, preserved black beans and chili bean sauce (toban djian).
Peace Lilies from my garden.
~~~~~
2nd dinner - Beef with white bitter gourd noodle.
Beef slices, home grown white bitter gourd slices, eggs, ginger slices, and wine broth.
Cooked instant dried noodle.
I served the noodle with the beef and white bitter gourd broth.
We ate the beef noodles with sambal belacan + lime juice.
Some days, our morning walk will take us this way and there is this old abandoned Volkswagon parked by the roadside.
We also get to see another Volkswagon which is much loved and well maintained. The owner drives this car around and is one of the regular patron of our regular coffee shop.


Now all praise to God for his wonderful kindness to us
and his favor that he has poured out upon us
because we belong to his dearly loved Son.
(Ephesians 1:6, The Living Bible-TLB)

    1. I too rarely cook beef at home because we can only buy beef at the main wet market in town.

  8. The instant dried noodle is the very dish I like.
    About the two Volkswagen cars. The grey color is not recommended as it is close to the colour of the road and might not prevent accidents. Yellow, and all the other bright colors:red, white and the like, are to be preferred as the car will stand out.

    1. Thank you, Duta. You are right about the colours. I too like bright colours but they fade easily in the hot sun.

    1. Yes, it is such a waste to abandon it and not sell it off to an interested buyer to restore it.
