Growing Yam Bean or Jicama In My Garden

A friend gave me some yam bean or jicama seeds. Initially, I was half hearted but later I decided to sow some seeds in a small pot. Within a few days, the seeds sprouted. I forgot to jot down the date that I sowed the seeds.

I use black polybag bags to grow the yam bean or jicama seedlings. I placed them outside in front of my house because I have no more space in the side garden.

Flower buds of yam bean or jicama plants.

It has light purple flowers.

I don't know when exactly I show harvest for yam bean or jicama. Maybe one of these days, I will dig out the soil to check if there is any sign of yam bean in the soil.

A friend shared the following photos of a monkey she saw when she was on her morning walk one morning. Photos credited to Shirley T.

She and her husband was on their morning walk when they saw this monkey crossing the road. They noticed that this monkey has very long tail.

I used Google Lens to identify this monkey. According to Google Lens, this is the Phayre's Leaf Monkey. Instead of crossing over to the other side of the road, on seeing my friend and her husband, the monkey decided to sit down on the road.

Show me the path where I should go, O Lord;

point out the right road for me to walk.

Peach Gum Longan Sweet Drink, Egg Prata & Sambal Chicken

This was eve of the Mid-Autumn or Mooncake Festival. The morning was cloudy.

Morning sky at 7am.

Sunrise behind dark cloud at 7:07am.

7:10am.

On the way back from morning walk, walked to the Mamak shop to buy egg prata (roti telur).

Quite a lot for 1 piece of prata with egg and onion (roti telur).

I cooked oat for myself, added almond slices, walnut chunks and cranberries.

A friend came over to give us 2 mooncakes.

Red bean paste filling (left) and pandan flavour paste filling (right).

We took a long time to finish these 2 mooncakes.

I boiled sweet drink with peach gum with cane sugar and I added in dried persimmon slices and a can of longan. Gave some to neighbour.

I was not in the mood to cook so we went out to the Indian stall to buy dinner.

We bought fried noodle, egg prata (roti telu) and 2 sambal drumsticks (ayam masak merah).

We like this fried beehoon, usually sold out very early.

This egg prata or roti telur has no onion and is smaller than the one we bought in the morning from the Mamak shop.

I like this sambal chicken drumstick (ayam masak merah).

It was a rainy evening and I couldn't resist buying 2 pieces of fried chicken from the next stall in the same restaurant.

Evening sky at 6:55pm.

The heavens are telling the glory of God;

they are a marvelous display of his craftmanship.

Day and night they keep on telling about God.
