Dinner At My Kitchen Restaurant, Ipoh

In preparation for the Lunar New Year, I finally came out of my lazy mode to take down some the curtains for washing. I was thinking earlier whether I should engage a professional curtain cleaning service this year or DIY the curtain cleaning myself. In the end, I decided to DIM i.e. do it myself. All these years I have been doing all the cleaning by myself. Now, the spring cleaning job has to be spaced out into a few days as I am beginning to feel my age even though my mind still thinks I am young. Hahahaaa... 

Thanks to the hot and sunny weather, the curtains were dried and put up again in the same day.

That evening was our dine-out dinner with friends and this time our friend suggested My Kitchen Restaurant since we haven't been there for a long, long time.

4 lemon with tangerine peel warm drink (chan pi lemon) RM19.20

Some of his disciples began talking about the beautiful stonework

of the Temple and the memorial decorations on the walls.

But Jesus said, "The time is coming when all these things

you are admiring will be knocked down,

and not one stone will be left on top of another;

all will become one vast heap of rubble."

"Master!" they exclaimed.

"When? And will there be any warning ahead of time?"

He replied, "Don't let anyone mislead you.

For many will come announcing themselves as the Messiah,

and saying, 'The time has come.' But don't believe them!"

(Luke 21:5-8, The Living Bible-TLB)

Hakka Pork Belly With Wood Fungus, Cauliflower & Beansprout

I have a few types of frozen ready cooked foodstuffs that we bought from a friend's shop before the MCO 2.0. Hubby wanted to help his friend because due to the pandemic, business has not been good. Hopefully, I can clear all the old stock from my freezer within these 2 weeks. I picked a packet that contained the Hakka pork belly with wood fungus, thawed it at room temperature and later steamed it for dinner.

Hakka pork belly with wood fungus cooked with red fermented bean curd (nam yue).

Steamed cauliflower and carrot, drizzled with garlic oil, oyster and soy sauce.

Blanched bean sprouts and drizzled with garlic oil, oyster and soy sauce.

Satisfying dinner with steamed rice.

While waiting for hubby to lock the gate, I took a snapshot of my shadow in front of the house.

The moon was still visible at 7:20am.

The following are photos of my one and only air plant or Tillandsia plant.

I bought this plant from the nearby plant nursery about 3 years ago.

It is healthy and is flowering again.

From the mother plant, it has multiplied into 7 plants. 

Fear of the LORD is the foundation of wisdom.

Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment.

Wisdom will multiply your days and add years to your life.

If you become wise, you will be the one to benefit.

If you scorn wisdom, you will be the one to suffer.

(Proverbs 9:10-12, New Living Translation-NLT)
