Fish Balls Noodle Soup, Roast Chicken Wings & Home Grown Vegetable

We set out on our morning walk late because we overslept. 
Morning sky at 7:10am.
When we have walked enough, we stopped to buy the above Nyonya kuih. Tapioca cake on the left and glutinous rice with sambal shrimp and grated coconut wrapped in banana leaf on the right.
Then we walked to Bai Nong White Coffee for breakfast. We ordered a bowl of rice vermicelli in clear soup, fish balls and 2 stuffed bitter gourd for sharing.

Back home in our garden.
This is hubby's project. After watching some youtube videos, hubby came up with this idea of planting vegetables. As we don't have much space in our side garden, this vertical method will help us save space if the project is successful. He filled the pvc pipe with garden soil and took some of my vegetable seeds to sow in these openings that he made in the pipe.
Since hubby didn't install the self-watering system, he has to water the plants manually.
This is how it looks like now. These are green amaranth (yeen choy). Very encouraging to see the vegetables growing well. Thanks to the success of hubby's project, we can now grow more and different types of vegetables for our own consumption.
This is also green amaranth (yeen choy) which are planted in the ground in front of my house. Some of these are due for harvest and I cut enough for dinner.

Home cooked dinner.
Plain blanched green amaranth (yeen choy). I was lazy to make garlic oil so I didn't use any.
I roasted 10 pieces of chicken wings.
The chicken wings were marinated with soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey and some sugar.
I cooked dried noodles. Since there is no garlic oil available, I used chili oil and soy sauce to mix the noodle.
This was our dinner. For appetizer, we had some pickled ginger from the fridge.


You're blessed when you've worked up a good appetite for God.
He's food and drink in the best meal you'll ever eat.

  10. Nice way to get more food grown. My husband remembered when we ate strawberries I had planted on side of single wide trailer we lived in New Mexico. It would be a good idea to do it again. Have a blessed day.

  11. Oh, I would so like to taste a banana leaf - you eat that, right? Or is it more like a "plate"?

    1. The banana leaf is for serving, to line a plate or act as a plate when eating Indian banana leaf rice.
