Stewed Sweet Sour Pork Rib Wonton Noodle & Dumpling

This was one of the days when we woke up earlier than usual. So we started our morning walk early and finished early.

After morning walk, we had breakfast with our friends in Ipoh town.

Even though we reached early at about 7:40am, we still have to wait for a table for 4 people.

As usual, we ordered the same for the 4 of us.

We ordered a bowl of wonton with 2 sui kow and stewed sweet sour pork rib.

4 big pieces of pork rib.

A plate of thin wonton noodle with some green and generous serving of pickled green chilies.

This is the first time we ordered the above glutinous rice dumpling (bak chang) for sharing from the drinks seller. It has peanuts in it and the bak chang tastes good.

From my garden.

I was watering my plants and I noticed some yellow thing growing next to the cactus.

Strange looking yellow mushrooms.

Only 1 mushroom grew big like the above while the rest disappeared.

Prawn Curry Noodles At Kedai Kopi Yan Won, Pusing

This was a Tuesday morning, last week of April.

Sunrise at 6:55am.

Birds were flying over us but I only managed to capture this lone bird.

Sunrise at 6:57am

6:58am

After morning walk, I watered the plants, quickly took my bath and waited for our friends to take us for breakfast in Pusing town. The coffee shop is Kedai Kopi Yan Won, #40, Jalan Besar (main road), Pusing. This is my 2nd visit to this place.

We ordered some fried bean curd sheet for sharing.

We ordered 4 places of prawn curry noodle (dry version). The curry gravy is thick and creamy and not spicy. Those who cannot take too spicy will love this.

Hubby and I ordered prawn curry with wonton noodle.

~~~~~

After breakfast, we walked to the wet market which is behind this eatery. On the way out from the market, we stopped at a roadside stall to buy glutinious rice dumpling (bak chang).

I bought 1 pillow bak chang (glutinous rice dumpling).

There are 2 sizes. This big one has salted egg yolk @ RM7.

I re-steamed the dumpling.

Hubby and I shared this dumpling for lunch.

Filling in the bak chang: shiitake mushroom, pork belly, salted egg yolk, black eye bean and red bean. I like the combination of red bean and black eye bean. Looking forward to the next trip to Pusing to buy this pillow bak chang again. Yums!

The warm and dry season is back.

My bougainvillea will be in full bloom again.

Linking To Friday Bliss & Skywatch Friday.

The desert and the parched land will be glad;

the wilderness will rejoice and blossom.

Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom;

It will rejoice greatly and shout for joy.

The glory of Lebanon will be given to it,

the splendor of Carmel and Sharon;

they will see the glory of the LORD,

the splendor of our God.

Fried Pork Rib, Steamed Fish & Potato Leaves For Dinner

These sky shots were taken with hubby's photo because my phone battery needed charging.

Sun shining through the dark cloud.

The dark cloud couldn't hold back the sunrise.

The cloud seemed to be getting darker.

The sun rays pierced through.

A bit of this and that from my garden.

They are all harvest from old plants.

Brunch

Hubby bought mee goreng and rojak from the Mamak stall and I steamed the last bak chang (glutinous rice dumpling) given by neighbour. The container at the back with the cut cucumber contains the ingredients for the rojak.

I poured the rojak ingredients onto a plate and poured the sauce on top.

~~~~~

Dine out dinner with friends at Kopitiam Mun Soon, Taman Boon Bak, Ipoh.

Steamed Tilapia with spicy sauce.

Total cost of dinner including rice (small portion) and Chinese tea - about RM54.

Durians! Finger Licking Yummy-licious!

This was a Saturday. Snapshots taken on our morning walk.

Parasitic plants growing on the tree. Can hear the birds chirping and singing but they were too small to be seen.

Breakfast bought from 2 different coffee shops, located back to back.

Left: Wat tan hor (noodle with egg gravy) for hubby.

Right: Curry noodle with stuffed ingredients for me and 3 pieces of "pulut udang" which is glutinous rice with dried shrimp and coconut filling wrapped with banana leaf.

This is how the "pulut udang' or glutinous rice with dried shrimp and coconut filling looks like without the banana leaf wrapping.

Angled luffa, snake beans and green brinjals harvested from my garden.

Lunch

Leftover porridge from the previous day's dinner.

We love ginger strips with our rice porridge.

This time have to do without chopped spring onions.

~~~~~

About 1:30pm, I received a call from my friend informing that the durian supplier has reached her house.

These are hill durians.

I ordered 20 kilos of durians.

All ready packed in pastic bags.

Selling at RM5 per kilo.

They may not look like the branded durians but I think hill durians taste much better than most branded durians. Plus, the price is so much cheaper than branded durians.

I love durians and one of my favourite is the hill durians. I opened up all the durians. placed them into plastic containers. They will go into the freezer. Once thawed, they can be eaten and they taste like durian ice cream. Hubby and I had a durian feast that afternoon and we have to skip dinner that evening.

So let us feast upon him and grow strong in the Christian life,

leaving entirely behind us the cancerous old life

with all its hatreds and wickedness.

Let us feast instead upon the pure bread

of honor and sincerity and truth.
