Breakfast On A Gloomy Day

The ground was still wet from the early morning rain. 

Low cloud covering the top of Kledang Hill - 7:10am.

Sunrise at 7:20am - as we were driving out to town for breakfast.

I took these photos from a moving car. Hubby was the driver.

We had breakfast at Kedai Kopi Keng Nam, which we haven't been to for a long time.

Hubby ordered dry curry noodle.

I ordered chee cheong fun or steamed rice noodle roll.

Half without filling and half with yam bean filling.

Curry gravy, chili sauce and pickled green chili.

When I am here, I couldn't resist ordering this steamed glutinous rice with kaya (coconut jam). The glutinous rice is "lemak" with "santan" or coconut milk.

Our drinks: Unsweetened black coffee for me and Chinese tea for hubby.

Linking to Skywatch Friday.

Don't do anything that will cause criticism against yourself

even though you know that what you do is right.

For, after all, the important thing for us as Christians is not

what we eat or drink but stirring up goodness

and peace and joy from the Holy Spirit.

(Romans 14:16-17, The Living Bible-TLB)

Lunch With Friends At Up To You F&B, Ipoh

This was a Tuesday. Looking forward to have lunch with my girlfriends. But before that, morning walk must come first.

Morning sky at 6:50am.

~~~~~

Initially, there were 4 of us but on the eve of our lunch outing, a friend called to inform that she was down with the flu and better for her to rest at home. So, here we were at Up To You F&B, Jalan Seenivasagam, Ipoh.

We ordered unsweetened iced coffee (RM3.90), unsweetened iced black coffee (RM3.30), and hot milo (RM4.60).

Friend A ordered nasi lemak with chicken curry (RM10.90). The chicken curry was served separately in a bowl.

Friend A enjoyed the nasi lemak but she couldn't finish all the rice.

The chicken curry with the layer of red oil looks oily and spicy but it was not. Friend A needed our help to finish the chicken curry and potato.

Friend B and I ordered the above curry noodle with bbq pork and roast pork (RM11.90). We enjoyed the curry noodle.

We wanted to taste the above chee cheong fun (RM5.90), so we ordered 1 for sharing. It was served with curry in a bowl but we didn't use the curry.

 With the dried shrimp sambal, the chee cheong fun was delicious without having to add the curry.

After we have finished our food, we ordered sweet desserts but I forgot to snap photos of the desserts. The desserts we ordered were 1 bowl red bean with black glutinous rice (RM4.90), and 2 bowls barley with gingko nuts (RM4.90 x 2). Total cost of lunch for 3 = (RM72). It was an enjoyable lunch with good company. Looking forward to our next lunch.

Spicy chili plants growing in my garden. These 2 chili plants were gifted by birds visiting my garden. I found 2 chili plant seedling growing in my garden and I dug them out and planted them into pots. They are now fruiting abundantly.

A good friend gifted me the above to help with my burping or wind problem. Thank you, dear friend for your thoughtfulness.

For it is by grace you have been saved,

through faith - and this is not from yourselves,

it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast.

For we are God's handiwork,

created in Christ Jesus to do good works,

which God prepared in advance for us to do.

(Ephesians 2:8-10, The Living Bible-TLB)

Noodles For Breakfast And Claypot Chicken Rice For Dinner

We went out for morning walk as usual.

Morning sky at 7:45am.

Returned home, swept the porch area and watered the plants. Then we drove out to pick up our friends for breakfast at Bercham Great Wall Kopitiam.

Our friend's latte and toast (not in the picture).

The rest of us ordered Chinese tea and warm water.

Curry noodle for me.

Pork noodle with salted vegetable and tofu for a friend.

Hong Kong chee cheong fun with bbq pork filling for hubby.

Purple wishbone flowers from my garden.

For dinner, hubby and I went to WK Claypot House at 101, Lengkok Rishah 3, Taman Silibin Ria, Ipoh.

Claypot chicken rice with Chinese sausage and salted fish.

So far, this is the best claypot chicken rice we have tasted.

Appetizing sweet, sour and spicy mustard green.

For greater omph, I like to eat the claypot chicken rice with this green bird's eye chilies in soy sauce.

Red sugar cane drink.

I took this snapshot while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.

What attracted me is the design above the top floor windows.

This old building has been given a new coat of paint.

This lot is now occupied by a boutique.

Linking to Tuesday's Treasures, Image-in-ing & Happy Tuesday.

As for me, God forbid that I should boast about anything

except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Because of that cross, my interest in all the attractive things

of the world was killed long ago,

and the world's interest in me is also long dead.

(Galatians 6:14, The Living Bible-TLB)

Breakfast at Restoran Fei Chai Yau, Jelapang (near the wet market).

Unsweetened coffee (kopi-c kosong).

It was so full and it spilled over by the time it reached our table.

I bought roast pork from the roast pork stall. It cost RM30 for the above (1 rib). While waiting for our noodles to be served, we ate some of the roast pork.

I ordered 2 plates of Hong Kong chee cheong fun with bbq pork and prawn filling served with sambal dried shrimp.

Inside the restaurant with ample sittings.

The place was filled up a short while after this.

This is where they make the drinks.

There are about 12 or more stalls selling different types of noodles in this restaurant.

Home cooked dishes for our dinner.

Sambal petai or stinky beans with sambal shrimps which we bought from Tg. Tualang. The beans were big and were cut into small pieces.

Home grown green amaranth (yeen choy).

I sauteed the green amaranth with remaining roast pork and leftover fried dace with fermented black beans to clear these from the fridge.

I found this wall mural at a school when we were in Tanjung Tualang last month.

Linking to Monday Mural.

Your throne is founded on two strong pillars -

the one is Justice and the other Righteousness.

Mercy and Truth walk before you as your attendants.

Blessed are those who hear the joyful blast of the trumpet,

for they shall walk in the light of your presence.
