Wan Tan Noodle & One Dish Home Cooked Dinner

Last Friday we went out to buy prawns.  There is a stall that will only open on Friday morning.

That Friday, this roadside stall was crowded with customers waiting to buy fish and prawns for the Chinese New Year celebration.
Fish and prawns selling like hot cakes.
I didn't want to wait around. I quickly bought 2 kilos of prawns at RM60 per kilo. A friend wanted 1 kilo and 1 kilo for myself.
After cleaning, I was too tired to cook dinner so we went to Buntong village for wan tan noodle.
That evening I only want a bowl of minced meat dumplings (wan ton) because I was not very hungry.
I have seen mother-in-law plants flower but so far the ones in my garden have yet to flower.
~~~~~
I have harvested some bok choy from my hubby's vertical garden.
I had a small taro in my fridge. I cooked the taro with garlic and dried shrimp and added the bok choy to the taro. This is the 1 dish dinner with steamed brown rice on a lazy evening.
Saw this cat outside a shop. Just look at how it sat.
I saw this cat outside a restaurant and it look sleepy.


My son, obey your father's commands,
and don't neglect your mother's instruction.
Keep their words always in your heart.
Tie them around your neck.
When you walk, their counsel will lead you.
When you sleep, they will protect you.
When you wake up, they will advise you.
(Proverbs 6:20-22, The Living Bible-TLB)

  2. Wow! The prawns are very expensive! Not that big, around RM30 a kilo here. Our bid udang galah is RM60 a kilo, XL ones with claws/legs can go up to 75.

  4. Hello, Nancy
    The fish and prawn stall does look crowded, it is good they do such a great business for one day. The cats are cute, the one cat does have what looks like an awkward pose. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.

  5. That looks like the stand where we buy tomatoes!
    Oh. So sad, really, I do not like that healthy sea-food.
    Or that Ingo does not want a cat - crazy guys, those cats ;-)

  20. If so many people are queuing, the seafood must be fresh and relatively cheap.
