Nyonya Kuih & Pork Noodle For Breakfast

As we started our morning walk, I asked hubby where he wanted to go for breakfast.

6:53am

 After a moment of silence, he answered "Sin Choi Yuen", one of our regular coffee shop in our area.

7:00am

Then we continued with our morning walk until we finished our rounds and walked to the coffee shop.

Hubby ordered pork noodle with minced pork, pork slices and napa cabbage.

I ordered 4 pieces of angku kuih and chai kuih from a stall manned by an elderly couple. The kuih are quite small in size.

Vegetable dumpling (chai kuih) with yam bean and dried shrimp filling.

Nyonya kuih (angku) with white lotus mung bean filling. This time the filling were a bit dry and not as nice as the last we bought. I suppose there is less oil added but should be healthier. Anyway, I still enjoyed the kuih because the skin is soft and filling not very sweet.

We shared the above breakfast.

After breakfast, we walked home.

Saw this motorcycle parked in front of a motorcycle repair shop on our morning walk.

Yellow hibiscus, multi petals.

This was grown from a cutting given by a friend.

This hibiscus has been with us for about 8 years, since 2014.

And I have blessed many with cuttings from this plant.

Curry Noodle & Hakka Noodle For Breakfast At Lee Kitchen, Ipoh.

We haven't been to Lee Kitchen for 3 whole years. Recently a friend went there for breakfast and gave good review of the curry noodle that they have tasted. One morning we couldn't go for morning walk because it was drizzling, so we went to Lee Kitchen for breakfast.

It was early so the tables were not fully occupied.

We ordered a cup of unsweetened coffee.

While waiting for our orders, I bought 2 pieces of chai kuih (yam bean dumplings).

2 pieces of Chinese doughnuts (you tiao) for takeaway.

A bowl of curry noodle with flat rice noodle (koay teow).

For RM7, there is a lot of ingredients in this bowl of curry noodle (bbq pork, roast pork, tofu puff, a fish ball, a meat ball, pig's skin and etc.)

Hakka noodle with minced pork.

Meat balls and pork tendon ball.

Fried stuffed bean curd sheet items.

I think this is about RM6+.

By the time we finished our breakfast and was about to leave, all the tables were occupied.

There are many other stalls waiting for us to try.

Siamese Laksa & Herbal Chicken Soup Noodle

We were out of the house by 7:00am for our morning walk.

Morning sky at 7:05

After more than a week of hot and humid weather, we finally had rain for 2 days and the weather is now much cooler.

~~~~~

We drove to Ipoh Garden for breakfast but found the coffee shop closed after the week long holiday. Since we have parked the car, we went to the opposite coffee shop for our breakfast.

I didn't know what I wanted to eat. I looked around and saw a stall selling Siamese Laksa. I haven't eaten Siamese Laksa for a long time, so I ordered a plate.

This was a bit different from what I had before because it has shredded chicken meat. Tastewise was alright. I finished the whole plate.

Hubby ordered a cup of hot coffee and a bowl of herbal chicken soup noodle. No complain about the food. The coffee here is RM2.40, which is 20 cents more than most places. Taste wise, the coffee here lose to those cheaper ones.

Hubby enjoyed his breakfast. The soup is tasty.

I was drawn to another stall and came back with the above items. 2 pieces of tapioca cake and 2 pieces of yam bean dumplings (chai kuih).

How many of you can remember these biscuits? We used to call these "belly button or navel" biscuits. We love to eat these when we were kids. I saw these in the biscuit tin when I stopped to buy some biscuits at the roadside stall.

As a kid, I used to bite off the hard coloured sweet icing and munched on the biscuit after I ate the sweet icing.

He has always been alive and is himself God.

Eternal life is in him, and this life gives light to all mankind.

Simple take away breakfast for 2.

Hubby boughted rolled chee cheong fun yam bean filling with curry and some fish ball and fish cake. He had unsweetened black coffee.

Accompanied hubby to the bank and waited in the car for him because it was not easy to find parking in this area.

Having nothing to do, I decided to take snapshots of this vintage building. "The Mercantile Bank Limited" sign is still there. There is now a for sale or for rent notice.

This building was completed in 1931.

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

You have died with Christ,

and he has set you free from the spiritual powers of this world.

So why do you keep on following the rules of the world, such as,

"Don't handle! Don't taste! Don't touch!"?

Such rules are mere human teachings about things

that deteriorate as we use them.

These rules may seem wise because they require strong devotion,

pious self-denial, and severe bodily discipline.

But they provide no help in conquering a person's evil desires.

Steamed Fish, Blanched Broccoli & Porridge For Dinner

Looks like the rain is back. The weather is much cooler now and we only need to use the fan to sleep.

Hubby stopped to buy a packet of mee goreng or fried yellow noodle and he requested for sambal to be added. RM2 for this noodle.

Hubby's breakfast: Fried noodle and milo.

My breakfast: Curry puffs and milo.

We love to drink lemon juice with honey on hot days and it is soothing to the throat.
