Chili Pan Mee, Curry Chicken Mee & Turmeric Honey Prawns

This was a Saturday morning. Our breakfast venue was in Menglembu. The place that hubby wanted to go to was closed, so we went to another nearby coffee shop. Coincidentally, the stall selling yellow glutinous rice with curry chicken was also closed. So, we both ended up ordering something new form other stalls for breakfast.

There are a few stalls to choose from and I finally decided to order the above chili pan mee the dry version.

It came with a bowl of soup with 2 meat balls.

I just took the 2 meat balls and after a sip of the soup, I left it alone.

The noodle was quite nice and I managed to finish the whole bowl because of the chili sauce.

Hubby ordered the above wonton noodle with chicken curry.

It came with 3 pieces of chicken and 2 pieces of potato.

Hubby likes the chicken curry but he prefer the noodle to be a bit softer.

~~~~~

I had big prawns and fresh turmeric roots in the fridge.

 so I decided to make Turmeric Honey Prawns for dinner.

I also had some cabbage and king oyster mushrooms.

So I combined both to make a dish for dinner.

This was our no rice dinner for 2 people.

Pan fried turmeric honey prawns.

Ingredients for marinate: Pounded turmeric and garlic mixed with honey, oyster sauce, chili powder and some salt to taste.

Jehovah is King! He is robed in majesty and strength.

The world is his throne.

O Lord, you have reigned from prehistoric times,

from the everlasting past.

The mighty oceans thunder your praise.

You are mightier than all the breakers

pounding on the seashores of the world!

Your royal decrees cannot be changed.

Holiness is forever the keynote of your reign.

(Psalm  93:1-5, The Living Bible-TLB)

Chili Pan Mee, Peanut Corn Pancake & Mooncakes

This was a Saturday with a lovely morning. I took a snapshot before I started my morning walk.

Sunrise at 7:05am

Can you see the birds on the tree?

They are chirping their morning greetings to one another.

After morning walk, we drove out to the Kg. Simee market.

I bought 1 kg duku (RM5).

2.5 kg longkong - RM8 per kg

Both longkong and duku are sweet but longkong is juicer than duku.

Then I stopped to buy 2 pieces of thin peanut+corn pancakes.

Next, we drove to buy chili pan mee for breakfast.

We were late, so we have to wait in the car for about 30 minutes.

While waiting in the car, hubby and I ate the pancakes.

Filling: margarine, sugar, crushed peanut and corn cream.

Since we have the pancakes, I ordered only 1 set of chili pan mee.

Vegetable soup is provided.

This is our favourite chili pan mee.

Later in the morning, we received a package addressed to hubby.

Inside was a pink metal box with 2 mooncakes, individually wrapped.

The price printed on the wrapper - RM22.80

Shanghai mooncake with lotus paste + 1 salted egg yolk

Pandan with Black Sesame mooncake (RM21.80)

We didn't know who ordered these mooncakes from JMM Cookies, Ipoh.

We only found out the next day that it was from hubby's ex-colleague after receiving a call asking him whether he has received a package.

During this rainy season, wild mushrooms have started to appear in my garden.

That afternoon, we were blessed with 2 home made mooncakes.

It is true that I am an ordinary, weak human being,

but I don't use human plans and methods to win my battles.

I use God's mighty weapons, not those made by men,

to knock down the devil's strongholds.

Pan Mee, Loh Mee & Spicy, Sour Mustard Green

Have been raining the last few days. Gloomy sky most of the days.

Morning sky at 7:15am

On the reverse side, clear view of Kledang Hill.

Can you see the communication towers on the hill?

From here, we crossed the road to the right to where the shops are to buy breakfast.

2 pieces of tapioca cake (left)

Steamed cake or "angku" kuih.

Green is with grated coconut filling, red is with red bean paste and the yellow is with bean paste.

Next, we walked over to another shop.

To buy 4 pieces of my favourite yam bean (sengkuang) fritters.

~~~~~

Our neighbour bought lunch for us.

And 1 set of Chili Pan mee served with Amaranth spinach soup.

Dry version pan mee served with fragrant spicy chili.

1 set of Loh Mee with thick gravy.

Noodle and gravy were placed separately.

Pour the loh mee gravy over the noodle.

Dark rice vinegar was added to the noodle.

Both the noodle portions were big.

~~~~~

Spicy and Sour Mustard Green (kai choy).

I cooked spicy and sour mustard green with 1 roast pork leg for dinner.

After a heavy lunch, we didn't want any rice and just enjoy the appetizing dish by itself.

Do not let any part of your bodies become tools of wickedness,

to be used for sinning; but give yourselves completely

to God - every part of you - for you are back from death

and you want to be tools in the hands of God,

to be used for his good purposes.

Mee Jawa, Fried Noodle, Chili Pan Mee & Loh Mee

5th of June. No more EMCO (for Ipoh) but now under FMCO (nationwide full lockdown). Starting our morning walk at 7am is better than not walking at all.

Sunrise at 6:45am.

The cloud formation is interesting.

What can you see?

To me, it looks like a horse or a dog (facing right).

What can you see?

After morning walk, we drove out to Restoran Tet Shin to buy fried rice vermicelli and mee jawa.

Fried rice vermicelli for hubby.

Mee jawa for me.

We ended up sharing our breakfast.

We received some star fruits and matoa fruits from a friend.

Matoa is from the Lychee family. This is the 2nd time I get to taste this fruit.

Matoa fruits look more like longan. The skin is quite hard. I have to use my palm to press the fruit against the table top to break the skin.

The flesh is thick and sweet.

~~~~~

My neighbour who is working from home had to go back to her office to collect some stationery. On the way home, she tapau (take away) lunch for us.

On the right is chili pan mee and loh mee is on the right.

Chili pan mee tossed with soy sauce, topped with minced pork, mushroom and lots of crunchy fried anchovies. Green amaranth soup in a separate container.

Loh mee with greens and mushroom on the right. The thick gravy, minced pork and black vinegar on the right in a separate container.

Hubby doesn't like loh mee so he ate the chili pan mee.

I like loh mee and I enjoyed it very much.

For dinner, I heated up the leftover 5 treasures rice porridge and we each had a big plate of porridge.

~~~~~

Murals from our morning walk.

Mural of a Chinese sinseh (doctor practicing traditional Chinese medicine) checking the pulse rate of a patient.

A strong young man carrying an elderly woman in a basket on his back.

He is smiling and it doesn't look like she is a burden to him.

Give your burdens to the Lord. He will carry them.

He will not permit the godly to slip or fall.
