Dry Curry Noodle, Nyonya Kuih & Chee Cheong Fun

This was a Sunday in the month of May. We were still under EMCO, no walking and only 1 person allowed to go out to buy essentials. 

Morning sky.

Even though it was cloudy, it was a hot and sweaty day.

Hubby went out to buy take away breakfast.

One of our favourite curry noodle, dry version.

 Messy with thick curry gravy.

Hubby doesn't like mint leaves, so I ended up having all the mint leaves.

Rice vermicelli with bbq pork and curry chicken.

A friend drove over to our house to bless us with her home grown bananas. We won't be able to finish all by ourselves so we gave some to our neighbour.

~~~~~

Our next door neighbour came back from her essential shopping and blessed us with 2 packs of Nyonya kuih and 2 packs of chee cheong fun.

We ate the Nyonya kuih for lunch. We started with the sago kuih on the right because it had coconut grating. On the right is the tapioca kuih or kuih bingka.

Hibiscus plant with flower buds.

From buds to larger than palm sized yellow hibiscus.

~~~~~

We had Nyonya kuih for lunch so we kept the 2 packs of steamed rice roll (chee cheong fun) for dinner.

The curry and chili sauce were packed separately from the steamed rice roll, stuffed bean curd sheet and fish cake.

Thank God for His blessing through our neighbour who bought us lunch and dinner.

Since I needn't have to cook dinner, I made ginger pickle instead.

Ginger pickle makes great appetizer.

Linking to Wordless Wednesday & My Corner of the World.

We work to feed our appetites; Meanwhile our souls go hungry.

(Ecclesiastes 6:7, The Message-MSG)

You're blessed when you've worked up a good appetite for God.

He's food and drink in the best meal you'll ever eat.

(Matthew 5:6, The Message-MSG)

Harvested My First Long Bean & Crunchy Snacks

On the 2nd morning of MCO, I harvested the first long bean from my garden. I have grown long beans before and this is by far the longest I have harvested.

The above is the only long bean harvested because the rest were not due for harvest yet.

I measured it and it was 2 feet 6 inches long. Not easy to get the whole long bean into the screen of the camera.

With only 1 long bean and freshly harvested, I have decided to eat it raw with sambal dried prawn.

Home cooked dinner for 2 people without rice.

Taro cooked with roast pork, Blanched home grown Brazilian spinach and raw long bean with sambal dried prawn.

Received a comb of banana from my neighbour.

~~~~~

Snacks bought from a shop in our area.

Deep fried Honeycomb snack with sesame seeds.

Deep fried muruku snack.

This honeycomb snack is easy to bite, light and crispy, and breaks easily.

This is a bit hard to bite, sign of aging. Lol!

We bought some peanut candy from a roadside stall on one of our morning walk. Surprisingly, this is very fresh and crunchy, and not too sweet.

Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,

sweet and delightful to the soul and healing to the body.

(Proverbs 16:24, Amplified Bible-AMP)

Blessing From My Neighbour

Early Saturday morning, we drove to Bercham for our favourite beef soup. For 4 people, we ordered 4 bowls of beef soup (ngau lam tong) and 1 plate of fried beef noodle (ngau hor) to share.

Beef soup consisting of beef brisket, tripe, tendon and daikon. So far this is the best ngau lam soup that I have tasted.

2 figs harvested from my garden.

I managed to save my figs from the birds by using a bigger plastic bag.

~~~~~

My neighbour blessed me with the following items.

A comb of green bananas. Will take some time to ripen.

Tiger prawns.

~~~~~

My simple home cooked dinner for 2 people.

We had arrow root soup and home grown angled luffa with steamed rice.

Let your toots grow down into him and

draw up nourishment from him.

See that you go on growing in the Lord,

and become strong and vigorous

in the truth you were taught.

Let your lives overflow with joy and

thanksgiving for all he has done.

(Colossians 2:7, The Living Bible-TLB)
