It was another wet morning. No choice but to stay home. Feeling hungry, I went to the kitchen to prepare for breakfast.

2 half boiled eggs for hubby.

Milk for hubby and oat+milk for me.

Bread with kaya spread for hubby

Bread with leftover beef rendang for me.

Every time walking back home from our morning walk, we will pass by these Moringa plants planted by the residents in front of their houses.

Moringa leaves can be consumed for its many benefits and nutrition.

Moringa flowers.

Moringa bean also known as drumstick.

The drumsticks are also used for cooking.

The moon was partially hidden by cloud in this image.

Linking to Friday Bliss & Skywatch Friday.

The sun has one kind of glory

while the moon and stars have another kind.

And the stars differ from each other

in their beauty and brightness.

Home Cooked Beef Rendang For Dinner

It was raining almost every evening or night. We have not been using the air-conditioner and some nights we don't even need the fan. 

Afternoon sky at 4:20 pm.

Heavy rain expected any time.

~~~~~

I had beef in the freezer and a packet of ready made rendang paste. I have been thinking of beef rendang for a long time and rainy season is the best time to enjoy beef rendang.

My home cooked beef rendang using Brahim's ready made rendang paste.

Plain blanched romaine lettuce because I was too lazy to prepare garlic oil.

Steamed brown rice.

Simple yet appetizing dinner for 2 people.

The brown rice was not mixed with polished rice.

For this wonderful news - the message that God

wants to save us - has been given to us

just as it was to those who lived in the time of Moses.

But it didn't do them any good

because they didn't believe it.

They didn't mix it with faith.

(Hebrews 4:2, The Living Bible-TLB)

Brunch At Peranakan Place, Jonker Street, Malacca

We have been keeping tabs on the Covid-19 daily updates because we didn't want to get stuck in Johor. On the morning of our departure, we started our journey early with the intention of having brunch in Malacca. We reached Jonker Street about 10:30 am. It was quiet without the tourist crowd.

We picked Restoran Peranakan Place to have our brunch.

Little Nyonya

3 bowls of yummy-licious Cendol with cream corn.

I am missing Malacca's delicious cendol.

2 bowls of Nyonya laksa.

One for our friend.

And one for me.

Hubby ordered nasi lemak with beef rendang.

The cendol half filled our tummies and we could barely finish our laksa and nasi lemak.

~~~~~

After brunch, we took a walk along Jonker street.

We crossed over the Malacca river.

We can spare some time for some snapshots.

After taking some snapshots, we went shopping for biscuits and palm sugar.

Stopped by a few biscuit shops to buy some snacks.

Nice packaging for Betehso biscuit or heong peah.

I passed by here, saw this on my left, quickly took a snapshot before rushing to catch up with the others.

be sure to use them to help each other,

passing on to others God's many kinds of blessings.

Roast Chicken And Lemang & Beef Rendang

Today is Sunday, 68th day MCO. We had just finished the online worship service because we have not gone back to worship in church. Today is also the first day of "Hari Raya Aidilfitri" celebration observed by the Muslims. Wishing all Muslim readers, "Selamat Hari Raya".

What happened yesterday, Saturday.

Breakfast

Pan fried sausages, beef patty and green tea for hubby.

Homemade mini pizza with thin frozen chapati as base.

I wanted to clear some frozen chapati from my fridge, so I decided to use the frozen chapati as pizza base. I made this pizza with a non-stick pan.

My breakfast: Homemade mini pizza, glutinous rice ball with red bean filling and green tea.  The pizza tastes good with very crispy base but the base was too thin to support the toppings.

~~~~~

Lunch & Dinner

About 1:30 pm, we drove out in search of "lemang" which is glutinous rice cooked in bamboo. We get to eat this once a year and we usually buy "lemang" from this roadside stall every year.

Lemang at RM 15.00

(Glutinous rice with coconut milk cooked in bamboo)

 On the way back, we stopped at Baker's Cottage (in front of Billion Mart, Jelapang).

Roast chicken at RM9.90 each.

We came to know about this roast chicken promotion from a friend. The promotion will be available until 31st May. I bought 1 barbecue roast chicken and 1 black pepper roast chicken. We ate half of the barbecue roast chicken and kept the other half in the fridge. The chicken was still warm, tastes good with crispy skin. We kept the black pepper roast chicken in the freezer for another day.

~~~~~

Dinner

Cut the bamboo and pried it open lengthwise to expose the cooked rice lined with banana leaf inside.

The bamboo with the glutinous rice removed.

We bought 2 tubs of beef rendang at RM 15.00 each.

The lemang or cooked glutinous rice cut into pieces.

To eat, first remove the banana leaf wrapping.

 To start with, we each had 3 pieces of lemang with some beef rendang. We went for a 2nd helping. We kept the rest in the fridge for next day.

It is God himself who has made us what we are

and given us new lives from Christ Jesus; and long ages ago

he planned that we should spend these lives in helping others.

(Ephesians 2:10, The Living Bible-TLB)
