Herbal Duck Wonton Noodle & Hand Torn Pan Mee

There has been no rain for the past week. Looks like the hot and humid days are back until the next monsoon season. Hopefully by end of this month or beginning of next month we will get some rain.

Sunrise at 7:20am.

This type of sun means the day will be hot.

My plants will be withering by midday.

Time to temporary hold back the sowing of seeds until the rain returns.

7:25am.

After morning walk, hubby and I drove out to buy breakfast. The coffee shop allows dine-in and the tables are well spaced out and some of the tables were along the 5 foot way. We decided to dine-in and choose one of the table along the 5 foot way.

Hubby ordered herbal duck wonton noodle.

We have been eating this noodle since my working days until now.

I ordered pan mee with hand torn noodle.

I enjoyed my breakfast very much.

Unsweetened black coffee for hubby.

Unsweetened coffee with evaporated milk (kopi-C) for me.

The coffee here is one of the best in town.

After leaving, I bought the above Nyonya kuih for our lunch.

Glutinous rice with kaya and glutinous rice with spicy dried shrimp.

Our first dine-in dinner at a non air-con restaurant. The dishes available were limited and we ended choosing the following.

Sweet potato leaves with sambal dried shrimp paste.

Fragrant fried pork rib "foh yeem pai kuat".

Sweet sour black pomfret.

Nice and reasonably priced dinner that costs about RM46.20 for 4 people, including rice and hot water. We brought along our own Chinese tea.

Yes, everything else is worthless when compared

with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.

I have put aside all else,

counting it worth less than nothing,

in order that I can have Christ.

Fish Noodle & Assam Laksa

This was last Thursday. We were ready to start our morning walk.

Morning sky at 6:59am

I took a snapshot of my Bauhinia Kockiana blooms in the early morning light.

Sunrise at 7:22am.

We returned home from morning walk and drove out to buy breakfast.

We went to our regular coffee shop to buy fish noodle with wine.

This is half the portion of the fish noodle with 1 siew mai.

1 portion is RM8.50

Add on 8 pieces of fried ingredients.

This is my half portion with bird's eye chili added for extra kick.

Lunch

About 12pm, we drove out to collect 2 packets of assam laksa for our lunch. We pre-ordered the laksa the day before. 

Delicious assam laksa @ RM6.

~~~~~

We bought dinner from an Indian stall.

I ordered fried noodle with sambal added.

This was the last portion.

Hubby ordered 1 chapati but the boss thought he ordered 2 pieces.

Sambal from the "ayam masak merah".

Hubby's ordered chicken varuval, rich in spices and flavour.

It was a no cooking day for me.

Good salt is worthless if it loses its saltiness;

it can't season anything.

So don't lose your flavor!

Live in peace with each other.

Bananas & Cauliflower In My Garden

In an earlier post, I mentioned how my potted banana tree has started to bear fruit. That was about a month ago.

I wanted to plant a banana tree for the leaves for cooking purposes. As the tree grows taller, the leaves were beyond my reach and I was thinking of cutting down the tree. Before I could actually cut it down, I noticed it has started to bear fruit. What a pleasant surprise and I was overjoyed.

Here you can see the small green bananas.

It actually has 3 combs of bananas on the stalk.

There is one big comb and 2 smaller combs of bananas.

Every morning I check on the bananas. I don't know how long they will take to ripen.

Every banana tree will bear fruit only once.

Before these bananas ripen, the mother plant has already sent forth 2 small shoots coming out from the soil. I will be getting 2 new banana plants to replace this one.

I am eagerly looking forward to see sign of a cauliflower.

It is very encouraging to see the plants growing well and getting to harvest my garden's produce.

Even in old age they will still produce fruit

and be vital and green.

Jawa Mee, Shredded Chicken Noodle & Nasi Lemak

This was 2 Sundays ago. We woke up a bit late and decided to cancel our morning walk.

Morning sky at 7:35am. Another cloudy day.

We drove out to town to buy breakfast.

Saw that the coffee shop allowed dine-in and the tables were well spaced. Since we were early, there were very few customers dining in. Feeling comfortable, we decided to dine-in. We checked in and have to show proof that we are fully vaccinated. So, this is our 2nd dine-in experience for us.

I ordered Jawa Mee cooked by an Indonesia woman.

This is my favourite mee jawa.

Hubby ordered shredded chicken noodle (kai si hor fun). He noticed that instead of the old man, a younger man has taken over the stall. We were told that the former has retired but we suspected that he could have moved somewhere else. So for the time being, we will have to go back to our 2nd best kai si hor fun in town.

We shared this cup of kopi-C.

After finishing our breakfast, we went to the Jawa Mee stall to buy takeaway for lunch and dinner. I bought 1 packet of nasi lemak (blue rice), 1 chicken rendang, 2 fried drumsticks and 2 curry puffs.

I won't be buying the curry puffs again, very disappointing.

Hubby and I shared this packet of nasi lemak.

We added some of the rendang gravy to the nasi lemak.

We each had 1 drumstick with the nasi lemak.

We kept the chicken rendang for dinner.

So, dear brothers and sisters, work hard to prove that

you really are among those God has called and chosen.

Do these things, and you will never fall away.

Then God will give you a grand entrance into the

eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
