Fried Rice Vermicelli, Herbal Pan Mee & Dinner With Friends

A lovely morning to start off the new day.

Sunrise at 7am.

After morning walk, stopped at one of the coffee shop for breakfast.

At this coffee shop, hubby usually orders the fried rice vermicelli. On days when the boss is busy with many orders, he will only get to eat fried koay teow. Sometimes when the boss is in good mood, he will get extra prawns.

At first, I wanted to order toast but when I smelt the herbal soup, I changed my mind and ordered herbal pan mee. Ingredients consist of noodle, green veggie (mani cai), wood fungus, fried anchovies, minced meat, herbal soup.

This was our breakfast. Our next main meal will be dinner. In between we will have something light.

We had dinner with friends We tried to book a table for 4 people but 1 place was closed and the other was fully booked. We finally ended up at Restoran Wong Sheng.

Blanched Romaine Lettuce.

Their signature steamed taro & pork belly.

Assorted vegetables. My favourite is the crispy fried lotus root slices.

Steamed Tilapia fish in spicy sauce.

The fish was head partially covered by the sauce.

Overall, it was a satisfying dinner.

What happiness for those whose guilt has been forgiven!

What joys when sins are covered over!

What relief for those who have confessed their sins

and God has cleared their record.

Free Covid Kit & Dinner At Restoran WSF 33, Ipoh

On this particular morning, hubby had to go to the bank and I was waiting outside the bank for him. The weather is nice and cool so I decided to take some snapshots.

This is the Mercantile Bank Building.

There is a "For Sale/Rent" sign pasted on the wall.

This building is in the list of Heritage buildings.

The Mercantile Bank of India, London and China opened its branch in Ipoh in 1928. In 1931 it built a four story building at Station Road with art deco features decorated with flagpoles, swags and frames. The building was designed by an architect named Berthel Michael Iversen from a Shanghai company, Messrs Keys & Dowdeswell in Singapore and built by Messrs Brossard & Mopin. In 1959, the Mercantile Bank was taken over by Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corporation.

Later in the day, there was a black package addressed to me delivered to my house. It was a surprise because I didn't order anything or expecting anything.

It is the Keluarga Malaysia covid kit for those under PeKa B40. There are 4 covid self test kit, 1 thermometer, 1 oximeter and 4 washable masks.

A dear friend sent me the following photo.

The above is a Tamarind flower.

This is my first time seeing this beautiful flower. A Tamarind tree can grow to a height of 40 to 60 feet so it is impossible to grow in a small garden.

He has given us both his promise and his oath,

two things we can completely count on,

for it is impossible for God to tell a live.

Now all those who flee to him to save them can take 

new courage when they hear such assurances from God;

now they can know without doubt that

he will give them the salvation he has promised them.
