Fish Noodle & Assam Laksa

This was last Thursday. We were ready to start our morning walk.

Morning sky at 6:59am

I took a snapshot of my Bauhinia Kockiana blooms in the early morning light.

Sunrise at 7:22am.

We returned home from morning walk and drove out to buy breakfast.

We went to our regular coffee shop to buy fish noodle with wine.

This is half the portion of the fish noodle with 1 siew mai.

1 portion is RM8.50

Add on 8 pieces of fried ingredients.

This is my half portion with bird's eye chili added for extra kick.

Lunch

About 12pm, we drove out to collect 2 packets of assam laksa for our lunch. We pre-ordered the laksa the day before. 

Delicious assam laksa @ RM6.

~~~~~

We bought dinner from an Indian stall.

I ordered fried noodle with sambal added.

This was the last portion.

Hubby ordered 1 chapati but the boss thought he ordered 2 pieces.

Sambal from the "ayam masak merah".

Hubby's ordered chicken varuval, rich in spices and flavour.

It was a no cooking day for me.

Good salt is worthless if it loses its saltiness;

it can't season anything.

So don't lose your flavor!

Live in peace with each other.

Shredded Chicken Noodle, Roti Prata & Chicken Varuval

We woke up to a lovely nice cool morning. It rained the whole night before and the morning air was fresh and crisp.

Sunrise at 7:17am

Mist on the hills - 7:36am.

On the right side is the wall painted with Chinese art murals.

We bought shredded chicken noodle (kai si hor fun) from town.

Flat rice noodle (koay teow) with 1 med sized prawn, a piece of crab stick, and chicken. (I was given the chicken wing).

Light Purple Cleome (Spider flowers) in my garden.

Instant noodle with leftover stewed duck for hubby.

~~~~~

Take away dinner.

Egg prata or roti telur for hubby.

Plain prata or roti canai + chapati for me.

The plain prata was small so won't be enough for me.

I was hungry because I didn't take lunch.

There is no sambal chicken (ayam masak merah) so we bought chicken varuval.

2 types of curry gravy were given for the flat bread.

I can eat these for any meal of the day.

Yes, if you want better insight and discernment,

and are searching for them as you would for lost money

or hidden treasure, then wisdom will be given you

and knowledge of God himself;

you will soon learn the importance of reverence

for the Lord and of trusting him.

Dim Sum Breakfast & Chicken Varuval For Dinner

Every morning, as we start out on our morning walk, one of us will ask the other what we would like to eat for breakfast. For this particular morning, hubby wanted to eat steamed big bun or "tai pau". 

So, after our morning walk, we walked over to the dim sum restaurant near our house to buy "tai pau" and a few more items.

Steamed big bun or "tai pau" cut into halves for sharing.

I will take the half with the hard boiled egg.

I also bought fried prawn dumplings and a baked bbq bun.

I like varieties, so I bought a "nam yee pau" or steamed bun with fermented red bean curd pork belly filling.

Home grown okras or ladies fingers from my garden for dinner.

First time trying to cook chicken varuval (my own version) with whatever spices I have available. It taste good with white rice or Indian bread (capati).

Blanched beansprout, home grown Chinese chives and okra from my garden.

Dinner for 2 people on a cool evening.

I spotted these 2 garden snails on the roadside on one of our morning walk.

Have two goals:

wisdom - that is, knowing and doing right - and common sense.

Don't let them slip away, for they fill you with living energy

and bring you honor and respect.

They keep you safe from defeat and disaster

and from stumbling off the trail.

With them on guard you can sleep without fear;

you need not be afraid of disaster or the plots of wicked men,

for the Lord is with you; he protects you.

(Proverbs 3:21-26, The Living Bible-TLB)

HK Chee Cheong Fun, Roast Pork, Chapati & Chicken Varuval

This was a Monday. After the early morning rain stopped, the weather was nice and cool. When we started out on our morning walk, the sun was shining and the sky was clear.

Morning sky, clear and bright at 7:25am.

The ground was still wet from the rain and mist on Kledang Hill.

A close up shot of Kledang Hill and the mist.

The birds were happily chirping away on the tree top.

~~~~~

After morning walk, we drove to a nearby town to buy breakfast.

After placing order for 2 sets of Hong Kong Chee Cheong Fun (steamed rice noodle with bbq pork and prawn filling), I went to the next stall to order roast pork.

This was about RM15 worth of roast pork.

A satisfying dinner on a nice cool morning.

We each took a few pieces of roast pork and kept most of the roast pork in the fridge for cooking purposes.

I don't understand the Chinese writing but I like the drawing.

~~~~~

I was in lazy mode, so no cooking for dinner.

Fried economy noodle from an Indian stall for hubby.

Chicken varuval, small portion.

Chapati for me.

Nice to take leave from cooking and enjoy this light dinner for a change.

It doesn't make any difference now

whether we have been circumcised or not;

what counts is whether we really have been changed

into new and different people.
