Lotus Root Soup For Dinner

 We woke up early but waited for it to be brighter before we go out for our morning walk.

Sunrise at 7:10am.

Initially, we wanted to have seafood porridge for lunch but it was closed. So my friend and I ended up having noodles for lunch at Tastefully Noodle House, Menglembu.
Shredded chicken noodle @ RM6.50 for my friend.
Pork noodle @ RM8.50 (without innards) for myself.
We both ordered monk fruit drink (loh hon koh).
Total cost of lunch was RM19.70.
My cranberry hibiscus has been infested with some kind of pest. I have trimmed off all the branches leaving behind about a foot of the plant. I hope it will grow back, if not, then it will be goodbye.

It was raining the whole afternoon and evening yesterday.
I cooked lotus root soup with carrot, red dates, goji berries and chicken breast meat for dinner. I cooked just enough for 2 bowls of soup so that we won't have to drink leftover soup the next day. Just this soup and some steamed brown rice for the 2 of us.

It is better to eat soup with someone you love
than steak with someone you hate.
(Proverbs 15:17, The Living Bible-TLB)

  2. Really, I cannot wait for retirement (difficult as Ingo is nearly 8 years older than me).
    I will SO enjoy early morning walks with him, if I have to drag him, this is such a nice ritual!!!
    Thank you for always sharing, I enjoy this always.

    I never knew of/saw a cranberry hibiscus - beautiful. Best wishes it is OK.
    Lotus root and goji berries are unknown here, but it looks ... like FUN to eat!

  3. Thank you Nancy. Hopefully your cranberry hibiscus plant will grow after the pruning. Your soup looks delicious! It is suitable for your tummy as it is not spicy, right?

    1. Thank you, Mun. Looks like the cranberry plant could be gone for good. Sigh....

  5. Lovely cranberry hibiscus.

    I like lotus root soup but usually I use pork rib in the soup. Now with shortage of pork, I guess need to go for chicken.

    1. I too prefer pork rib for boiling soup but now pork is expensive.

  7. I wish we had a noodle house around here. Poor Hibiscus!! Have you researched what kind of bugs there are, maybe there is a particular poison...

  8. That was a pretty sunrise.

    The soup looks like it would be warm and comforting on a rainy evening.

  11. Good simple dinner. I'd be happy with soup, rice and a little dish of soy sauce.
