Toast With Butter + Kaya & Chee Cheong Fun For Breakfast

Getting bored with the usual breakfast varieties in our area, we drove over to Menglembu new township for breakfast. Our preferred place is Restoran Meng Meng kee.

I ordered toast and requested for the butter and kaya (coconut jam) to be served separately from the toast.

Hubby ordered steamed flat rice noodle (chee cheong fun).

Hubby ordered chicken drumstick, half a potato and curry gravy. Pickled green chilies and chili sauce served on the side.

We shared the toast and the chee cheong fun. We each had a cup of unsweetened coffee.

Come, let's talk this over, says the Lord;

no matter how deep the stain of your sins,

I can take it out and make you as clean as freshly fallen snow.

Even if you are stained as red as crimson,

I can make you white as wool!

(Isaiah 1:18, The Living Bible-TLB)

For whatever God says to us is full of living power:

it is sharper than the sharpest dagger,

cutting swift and deep into our innermost thoughts and

desires with all their parts, exposing us for what we really are.

Run from anything that gives you the evil thoughts that young men

often have, but stay close to anything that makes you want to do right.

Have faith and love, and enjoy the companionship of those

who love the Lord and have pure hearts.

After the Paddy Gallery, we drove to this place.

Thought of buying some local mangoes. There was a big crowd before us.

The good ones were all taken. We left without buying anything.

The brown rice we bought from Sekinchan.

This morning, I used the brown rice to boil porridge or congee. I am not particular, I just make do with whatever ingredients I had. Some of you may think this is a weird combination of ingredients.  Here is my self-created recipe. The ingredients I used for my porridge were brown rice, a few spoonful of rolled oats, minced pork, salted egg, preserved century egg, taro or yam cubes. Hmmm...not bad leh....my porridge tasted yummy...ha ha! Self praise is no praise!

Praise our God, all peoples, let the sound of His praise be heard;

He has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping.

For you, God, tested us; You refined us like silver.

(Psalm 66:8-10, NIV)
