Crab Glass Noodle, Tom Yam Soup & Thai Chicken Feet Salad

After morning walk, we stopped at one of our regular coffee shop for breakfast.

Our favourite shredded chicken noodle (kai si hor fun).

Can you see the bits of dried scallops used for boiling the soup?

While having breakfast, 4 Common Myna birds were playing or fighting on the road. They were making a lot of noise.

I had lunch with 2 sisters at 

Different Taste, #72, Persiaran Bercham Selatan 2, Bercham.

My sister was looking forward to enjoy the above: Crab with glass noodle. The cook weighed a crab and informed us the price: RM99. So the above dish cost RM99 (approx. 22usd). I should have push the glass noodle aside to take a good snapshot of the size of the crab.

Next, we ordered Thai chicken feet salad @ RM16.

Grouper fish chunks in clear Tom Yam soup @ RM45.

Total cost of lunch: RM161.50. The lady boss waived the 50 cents.

Thanks to my sis for this delicious treat.

No home cooked dinner for us.

Hubby bought 20 skewers of chicken satay (grilled chicken on skewers) from a nearby kampung. The satay costs 0.70 cents per skewers.

The seller is generous with the peanut sauce. There is some leftover sauce which I kept in the fridge to dip with our home grown cucumbers.

Hubby bought some boiled compressed rice (nasi impit), The cucumber and onions are given free.

Dinner for 2 @ RM14 (approx 3usd)

Cockscomb flower from self-propagation. It was found sharing a pot with a yellow Croton plant in front of my house.

And these men of faith, though they trusted God and

won his approval, none of them received all

that God had promised them; for God wanted them to wait and

share the even better rewards that were prepared for us.

Friday Lunch At Lanna Thai Restaurant, Soho Ipoh.

The alarm clock woke me up on a Friday morning. Then another the reminder app on my smartphone sounded the alarm to remind me of a lunch gathering with my old friends. These days, I tend to rely on the reminder app to help me remember all my appointment dates.

 Sunrise at the park at 7:23 am.

The day was expected to be very warm.

Sunrise reflected on the lake.

Praise him for the growing fields, for they display his greatness.

Let the trees of the forest rustle with praise.

For the Lord is coming to judge the earth;

he will judge the nations fairly and with truth!

Dinner At Sabay Thai Food, Bercham

I woke up very early, looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was 5 am. It was too early and too dark to go for our morning walk. I went back to bed and slept for another hour. The alarm woke me up at 6 am.

Sunrise at the park - 7:05 am.

The new spotlights lighting up certain parts of the park.

This park attracts residents and their furry friends from surrounding areas.

This one is a regular at the park.

This dog accompanies his master to the park and he doesn't gets into fight with other dogs. He is a loner.

That evening we had dinner with friends.

The venue was Sabay Thai Food Restaurant in Bercham.

Someone wanted noodle, so a tom yam noodle was ordered.

Egg omelette with Thai veggie

Sambal petai (stinky beans) with minced pork.

Mango salad with deep fried anchovies (Mango kerabu).

Thai style steamed fish.

I love the sweet, salty, sour, and spicy taste of Thai food.

Linking to Saturday's Critters.

You will never be able to eat solid spiritual food and

understand the deeper things of God's Word

until you become better Christians and

learn right from wrong by practicing doing right.

Thai Food Carnival At Econsave, Jelapang.

The rainy season has started and our air-conditioners are taking a rest. The fan is enough for us to sleep comfortably,

The above picture was taken at 1.35 pm. It looks like evening.

And the one below was taken at 5.40 pm.

 A friend texted me about the Thai food carnival at Econsave in Jelapang. She was encouraging us to go. It was a good excuse not to cook.

 Together with another couple, we went to see what was good for our dinner.

 The Thai food carnival is held from 14 to 23 September, 2018.

 It was a small scale food carnival.

We took a walk around to check out the different stalls.

 This Teh Tarik (Pulled Tea) mixer was sporting to perform for hubby's camera.

 He was mixing hubby's Green Tea with milk.

Rice with different flavour and spices.

Fried chicken 

Our friend bought a packet of rice with 2 fried chicken drumsticks.

 I want to try this nasi kerabu or nasi ulam.

Rice dyed blue colour from the  pea flowers and served with raw vegetables and spices.

This nasi kerabu comes with a small portion fried rice vermicelli.

 Hubby bought a bowl of deep fried small crabs flavoured with spices.

Glutinous rice - plain or coloured.

One of my favourite - Glutinous rice, coconut milk and mango.

Fresh mangoes

I bought a packet to try.
The coconut milk was diluted. I prefer thick coconut milk.

A friend bought a packet of tom yam with noodle.

All the above food were for sharing.

Besides food stalls, there are stalls selling clothes, footwear, and etc.

After that, we adjourned to the nearby Ipoh White Coffee Cafe.

Someone was not keen on Thai food, so ordered 2 pieces of curry puffs.

My favourite was White coffee with hazelnut.

The coffee kept us awake till the wee hours of the morning!

I stay awake through the night to think about your promises.
