Braised Black Pomfret With Pickled Veggie & Stewed "Kow Chai" Duck

It was a nice cloudy morning for our early morning walk.

7:08am

That morning, I needed to go to the bank. So we drove out to town for breakfast at Restoran Memorable Good Taste.

We ordered 2 "usual" breakfast sets for us (as above).

We only need to mention "the usual" to the boss and he knows what we want.

1 portion of wonton noodle with the following accompaniments.

This wonton noodle is thinner than the usual wonton and the portion is small.

A bowl of soup with 5 pieces of wonton dumplings and 1 piece of sui kao (big dumpling).

A bowl of stewed savoury pork ribs about 4 to 5 pieces, depending on the size.

The generous lady boss gave each of us a bowl of pickled green chilies. This seldom happens at most wanton noodle stalls.

This breakfast costs us between RM12 to RM13 for 2 people.

We pass by here on our morning walk on most mornings.

Our dine-out evening with friends at Restoran Wong Sheng, Ipoh.

Blanched pak choy with slices of canned bailing mushroom.

Stewed duck or "kao chai" duck.

"Kao chai" means puppy in Cantonese. It is just a name given to the dish.

Fried black pomfret topped with pickled vegetables, meat slices, tofu, tomatoes, and etc. It was a nice and satisfying dinner for 4 of us. Dinner including rice and hot water for Chinese tea = RM106.

A mural of a bull pulling a cart.

I found this mural on the wall of a school in Tanjung Tualang, Perak when we were there for a seafood lunch and a short visit.

Linking to Monday Mural.

The Lord is my fort where I can enter and be safe;

no one can follow me in and slay me.

H is a rugged mountain where I hid; he is my Savior,

a rock where none can reach me, and a tower of safety.

H is my shield. He is like the strong horn of a mighty fighting bull.

(Psalm 18:2, The Living Bible-TLB)
