Fried Beef Noodle & Beef With White Radish Soup

This was a Saturday morning. Lately, our breakfast has been confined to our regular coffee shops in our area. We only drive out to town when there is something to do and that is when we will have our breakfast in town.

Morning sky at 7:10am

Since we need to attend to something in town, we took the opportunity to drive out to Bercham for our favourite beef noodle. The last time we bought take away because dine-in was not allowed yet and that was a few months ago. 

We ordered a bowl of beef soup (ngau lam) and I requested for the coriander leaves to be served separately because hubby doesn't like the smell of the leaves.

Generous serving of coriander leaves or cilantro.

A plate of rice vermicelli fried with beef slices. Sorry, this is only a third of the noodle because both hubby and I had spooned the noodle to our bowls before I realized I haven't taken a snapshot. 

The noodle was very well fried and the beef slices still tender.

Dinner for 2 people.

We had a packet of mutton curry which hubby bought from an Indian rice stall in Bercham. This place was recommended by his friend.

Our neighbour blessed us with ABC soup, enough for 2 big bowls.

Hubby and elder son only drink the soup.

 All the soup ingredients went to my bowl. Younger son and I will clear the soup ingredients, so there is no wastage.

Then Jesus took the loaves and gave thanks to God

and passed them out to the people.

Afterwards he did the same with the fish.

And everyone ate until full!

"Now gather the scraps," Jesus told his disciples,

"so that nothing is wasted."

And twelve baskets were filled with the leftovers!

Sambal Prawn Noodle, Durian, ABC Soup With Corn

This was a Thursday.

Took this sunrise shot at 7am before we start our morning walk.

We pass by this abandoned house every time we use this route.

On our way home, we stopped to collect our breakfast.

Got this for free when we visited a Home Decor exhibition years ago. This timer is very useful in reminding me if I have something slow cooking in the kitchen. These days, I tend to be forgetful.

ABC Soup

Ingredients used: Potato, carrot, tomato, onions, corn, and soft bone pork.

Blanched green vegetable (choy fah), drizzled with garlic oil, oyster and soy sauce.

Thankful for this dinner and grateful for God's provision.

Oh, how grateful and thankful I am to the Lord because he is so good,

Fish Noodle For Breakfast, ABC Soup & Angled Luffa For Dinner

I was busy taking snapshots of the morning sky on my morning walk. After every snapshot, I will have to catch up with hubby who went ahead of me.

Dawn at 6:50am

Sunrise at 6:55am

Sunrise at 7am

7:25am

Will we have rain later in the day?

We decided to buy fish noodle from our regular stall to support their business.

1 portion of fish noodle at RM9 + 4 pieces of stuffed item.

2 pieces of leftover cake.

Fish noodle with generous portion of Chinese cooking wine.

The stuffed items are priced at 80 cents per piece.

These are made and fried by the boss himself.

Simple home cooked dinner.

ABC soup

Ingredients: Carrot, potato, tomato, onions, a piece of thumb sized ginger and chicken bones. I forgot to add crushed white peppercorns.

Angled luffa, remaining green vegetable, dried shrimps, egg and garlic.

Sometimes I don't have the mood to cook but have to especially when there are perishable items that need clearing from the fridge. So "ching chai" or simply cook.

For God, who said, "Let there be light in the darkness,"

has made us understand that it is the brightness of his glory

that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ.

But this precious treasure - this light and power

that now shine within us - is held in a perishable container,

that is, in our weak bodies.

Everyone can see that the glorious power within

must be from God and is not our own.

Rice Noodle In Soup, Rojak & Ginger Omelette

For the past few days, it was a mixture of sunny and rainy days. According to the weather forecast, there was a possibility of thunderstorm but there was none in our area.

Morning sky at 6:55am.

Looking at the sky, it might rain later in the day.

Can you see the 2 birds on the power line on the right?

After morning walk, we drove out to town to buy breakfast.

Fried yong tau foo (stuffed bean curd sheet, stuffed bitter gourd and stuffed long beans) with fish paste.

3 pieces of crunchy fish crackers.

It was hubby's.

Lai fun (rice noodle) in clear soup with 2 pieces of fish cake, garnished with spring onion and sprinkling of sesame seeds.

This was mine, with a piece of stuffed white tofu.

Our breakfast.

Lunch

Hubby bought rojak (pasar malam version).

A friend asked me to help her buy this Lemon Honey Bentong Ginger. I was at the shop and was told that there was no stock.

The lady boss recommended this. According to my friend, the one with the yellow cap tastes better than the one with green cap. Hope it will be available on my next trip to the shop.

Home cooked dinner

Sometimes, I don't know what to cook. Since I need to clear the eggs from my fridge, I decided to cook omelette.

I ended up cooking julienned ginger omelette with sesame oil.

Blanched broccoli.

No more garlic oil, so I used the remaining sesame dressing.

This was our dinner with left over ABC soup and steamed rice.

Deep Purple Corn & Century Egg With Pickled Ginger

After locking the gate, I took the following sky shots before we started our morning walk.

Morning sky at 6:55am.

Returning from our morning walk at 7:40am.

Economy spicy fried rice vermicelli (Indian style) from the roadside stall. One with fried egg and the other with fried chicken drumstick. Hubby had milo and I had Bru coffee.

I used to be a Nescafe fan. This is the first time I bought Bru coffee to try. I find it milder and smoother than Nescafe.

Purple Corn

I have tried growing purple corn twice in my garden. If you are interested, you can click here and here to read the posts.

My neighbour bought 4 purple corns for us. I removed the husk and silk, then I washed the corns under running tap water before I steamed them.

After steaming, the water in the metal plate was purple.

There was purple stain on my fingers after holding the steamed corn. No worry, the stain came off easily when washed.

~~~~~

I cooked Mi Sedap instant noodle for lunch.

I served the noodle with some spicy dry shrimp chili.

Side dish: 2 century duck eggs with home made pickled ginger.

I think I am the only one who served century egg with noodle.

~~~~~

Home cooked dinner for 2 people.

ABC soup.

Ingredients used: potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, big onions, smashed ginger (thumb size), crushed white peppercorns and soft bone pork.

Pan fried Grouper fish slice. When it is cooked, I drizzled some soy sauce on it, flipped it over to coat the soy sauce and took it out from the pan.

I tried a new brand luncheon meat that comes in a round tin. I didn't take snapshot of the tin so I can't remember what was the brand. Not so nice, so I won't be buying this brand again i.e. if I can recognise the tin.

Simple yet satisfying and filling dinner for us.

God showed how much he loved us by sending his only Son

into this wicked world to bring to us eternal life through his death.

In this act we see what real love is:

it is not our love for God but his love for us

when he sent his Son to satisfy God's anger against our sins.
