Koi Or Japanese Carps

This was one week before CNY 2023.

Morning sky at 7:05am.

Setting out on our morning walk.

7:15am.

~~~~~

We drove out to Ipoh old town for breakfast at Kedai Kopi Ah Chow.

I ordered noodle in clear soup at RM6.50

I don't know if the price has been increased.

There was a prawn, few pieces of roast pork and chicken meat.

Hubby ordered dry curry noodle at RM6.50 from the same stall.

~~~~~

We were with friends at this place and there is a fish pond with lots of beautiful Japanese carps swimming in it.

The sky reflected in the water.

The water is very clear.

Linking to Saturday's Critters.

Again, the Kingdom of Heaven can be illustrated

by a fisherman - he casts a net into the water and

gathers in fish of every kind, valuable and worthless.

When the net is full, he drags it up onto the beach and

sits down and sorts out the edible ones onto crates

and throws the other away.

(Matthew 13:47-48, The Living Bible-TLB)

Curry Noodle & Clear Soup Noodle At Kedai Kopi Ah Chow, Ipoh

This was a Sunday (yesterday), so instead of morning walk, we were preparing to attend Sunday church service.

Sunrise at 7:35am

We were on the way out to Ipoh old town for breakfast at Kedai Kopi Ah Chow.

Rice vermicelli with bbq pork, chicken and prawns in clear soup for me. The prawns were hidden under the noodle.

Hubby ordered curry noodle (dry version) but he didn't specify "dry version", so he was served the usual curry noodle. Poor me drooling over the curry noodle. I am still being a good girl, refraining from spicy food.

~~~~~

We attended 2 church services at different churches and after the 2nd church service, we attended a sponsored buffet lunch at one of the Salvation Home For The Aged near our area. It was a triple celebration (Christmas, New Year 2023 & Chinese New Year).

~~~~~

Home cooked dinner.

I finally get to cut down and cleared the bottle gourd vines from my garden. Ingredients for boiling soup: Half bottle gourd, 1 corn on cob, carrot and soft bones.

Hubby's bowl of soup without carrot.

My bowl of soup without the corn. I love corn but have to avoid because it may cause indigestion and wind/gas.

I harvested some home grown siew pak choy or bok choy from the garden. I just plain blanched it.

This is fermented beancurd (fu yue). This is hubby's favourite whenever I cook porridge at home. Recently, I found a way to enjoy this with my rice. I just take a cube and mix it with my steamed brown rice so that I don't get the flat taste in my mouth.

~~~~~

I found the following mural in the Heritage Town Cafe Gopeng which we visited in June, 2022.

Some chairs covered with black plastic were blocking part of the mural.

Hope to revisit Gopeng soon in the near future.

Linking to Monday Mural.

For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord.

They are plans for good and not for evil,

to give you a future and a hope.
