Lunch At Restoran J.J. Fatt, Lawan Kuda, Gopeng.

This was a Thursday and we had a lunch appointment with a long time friend, my ex-colleague and ex-housemate.

Morning sky at about 7:40am.

Our friend wanted to taste the food in Lawan Kuda, Gopeng and so we took her to this restaurant. This photo was taken few years ago when we were here for dinner. Lawan Kuda is known for snakehead fish dishes, so we ordered 1 fish. The restaurant will use the fish to cook 2 dishes.

Fish meat slices cooked with ginger slices, onions, and spring onion.

Soup using the bony parts of the fish, tofu and salted vegetable.

The soup was very flavourful.

Chinese kai lan vegetable sauteed with garlic and salt.

After having ordered the food, I took our friend out to the side of the restaurant to show her the vegetable garden. Most of the green vegetable served in the restaurant comes from this garden. After seeing the vegetables, my friend wanted to order another vegetable dish.

Water spinach with sambal belacan.

Total cost of lunch for 3 people = RM90.60

(incl. 3 small rice & warm water).

After our lunch, we went opposite where there is a roadside cendol stall. Usually the cendol will be sold out by 2pm but that day, it was still open at 2.30pm so my friend has the chance to enjoy this cendol ice.

This bowl of cendol ice consists of the green jelly made from rice flour, kidney beans, palm sugar syrup, coconut milk and shaved ice.

Have you seen a coconut shaped like a watermelon or a squash?

Have you seen these long papayas?

I have seen but have not tasted any.

Our friend found this bug on a mat in her house.

On a closer look, she saw that the bug was laying eggs on the mat.

Can you see the 4 eggs?

The back of the bug looks like a shield or a face mask.

With Google Lens, it was identified as the Brown Marmorated Stink.

If crushed, it will release a stinky smell.

Linking to Saturday's Critters.

We are pressed on every side by troubles, but not crushed and broken.

We are perplexed because we don't know why things happen as they do,

but we don't give up and quit.
