Jln Datoh Wan Tan Mee At Desa Rishah, Ipoh

We overslept but still got ready for our morning walk.

Sunrise at 7:00am.

Started our morning walk at slightly past 7:00am.

We finished our morning walk at about 7:55am.

View of the Kledang hill (reverse side of sunrise).

We took our car and drove to Desa Rishah.

A friend informed us of this place. This is the same wan tan mee which was formerly at Jalan Datoh, Ipoh. They have named this place as Jln Datoh Wan Tan Mee. It took us a long time to come here.

2 plates of single Wan tan mee (dry version).

Single portion (5 pieces) of wan tan (minced pork dumplings).

Double portion (10 pieces) of wan tan (minced pork dumplings) for hubby.

10 pieces of fried wan tan @ 70 cents per piece.

When eating wan tan mee or wan tan noodle, pickled green chili is a must for most of us.

Luo han guo or monk fruit drink and coffee with evaporated milk (both drinks unsweetened).

Breakfast for 2 people.

Passed by this plant on our morning walk. This was identified by Google Lens as Lagerstroemia or commonly known as Crepe Myrtle.

Yam rice for dinner.

Taro rice or yam rice, enough for 2 dinners.

Ingredients used: chopped garlic, dried shrimp, diced shiitake mushrooms, and diced taro. Stir fried all the above ingredients, season with salt, oyster sauce and dark sauce. Then, add in the brown rice and transfer to a pot. Add water and steam until rice is cooked.

For who among us can know the mind of the Lord?

Who knows enough to be his counselor and guide?

And who could ever offer to the Lord enough to induce him to act?

For everything comes from God alone.

Everything lives by his power, and everything is for his glory.

To him be glory evermore.

Tom Yam Noodle & White Orchid From My Garden.

This was on a Saturday. We were ready to start our morning walk at about 6:50.

Sunrise at 6:50am.

After morning walk, we drove out for breakfast at Tastefully Noodle House. Falim. On our first or previous visit, I ordered their giant curry noodle. If you are interested, you can click here to take a look at it. For this 2nd visit, we wanted to try something else.

Hubby ordered yellow noodle with meat balls, minced pork and etc. in clear soup.

I ordered their special noodle (looks like wanton) with chicken curry (dry version).

It was a good and satisfying breakfast. for both of us.

That morning, while watering my plants, I happened to look up and saw this white orchid flower. I wasn't aware and didn't even notice when it budded.

Home cooked dinner.

I missed tom yam noodle very much so I decided to have it for noodle dinner. I only have to buy the beansprouts and the other ingredients such as dried shrimps, Chinese chives, tom yam paste and garlic were all available in the kitchen.

This orchid plant was a gift from a dear friend.

This is the first time it flowered and now I know that its flower is white.

This was a pleasant surprise that I finally get to see the flower.

I don't have much success with orchids. Maybe I don't know how to look after them. Currently, there are only 3 pots of orchid plants including this one and one of them may not survive. I hope this white orchid will remain healthy and continue to do well in my garden.

Instead, we will lovingly follow the truth at all times - speaking truly,

dealing truly, living truly - and so become more and more

in every way like Christ who is the Head of his body, the Church.

Under his direction, the whole body is fitted together perfectly,

and each part in its own special way helps the other parts,

so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.

A Visit To Penang Botanic Gardens

After our durian snack which I have shared in yesterday's post (here), our next stop was Penang Botanic Gardens.

Fountain near to the parking lot.

Entrance to the Botanic Gardens.

On one of the pillars.

We came across some trees bearing some strange looking fruits.

Most of the fruits are bigger than my palm.

These are Cannon Ball Tree (couroupita guianensis).

Beautiful tall trees.

It was a hot sunny day.

Just sit back and enjoy the photos.

Fire Ball Lily & Dinner At Restoran WSF 33, Taman Hoover, Ipoh

This was middle of last week. I woke up later than usual but we still went for our morning walk.

Sunrise at 7:28am

I managed to capture the round sun in this sunrise shot just before we started our morning walk.

I zoomed in a little.

Can you spot the bird (on the right) getting into this photo?

Back home in my garden.

When it rains, we will collect the rain water for watering my plants. When there is no rain water, I will use tap water.

While watering my plants, I noticed the above (flower bud) coming out from the pot of Gardenia plant.

I suspected that the bud must belong to one of the bulbs of the green leaf. I have been seeing green leaves without any flowers and I have dug out and discarded a few big bulbs. I didn't know that the bulbs will bear flowers.

This shot was taken one day after the precious shot.

Fire Ball Lily / Red Ball Lily / Blood Lily / Scadoxus multiflorus.

I got the names of this plant/flower using Google Lens.

Dearly loved friends, I had been planning to write you

some thoughts about the salvation God has given us,

but now I find I must write of something else instead,

urging you to stoutly defend the truth that God

gave once for all to his people to keep

without change through the years.
