Chee Cheong Fun, Popiah & Chicken Chop Rice With Cucumber Pickle

By now I am getting a bit confused because there seem to be overlapping MCOs for us in Ipoh. So for us Ipohites, if there are conflicting sop, then it is safer to follow whichever is stricter to avoid getting a fine from the authority. Today is the last day of EMCO for us. So from tomorrow onwards we will follow the sop for the FMCO aka the Total Lockdown, until further notice. The only difference is that we can go out for our morning walk but we can only do so after 7am.

The following morning sky photos were taken before EMCO.

Morning sky at 6:45am, outside my house.
Morning sky at 6:55am, at the nearby shops.
This is the best time for walking, when we have the whole streets to ourselves (almost).

Breakfast.
Our favourite chee cheong fun (steamed flat rice rolls with dried shrimp) from Canning Garden. Generous toppings of crispy fried shallot, sesame seeds, green chili pickle, shallot oil and soy sauce.
Self-propagated cockscomb plants outside my house.
Popiah lunch, blessing from our neighbour.
Dessert: home made guilinggao (herbal jelly).

My neighbour called and told me,
 "No need to cook dinner, I have ordered 2 sets of dinner for you".
Rice with cucumber pickle (2 pax)
Hainanese style chicken chop (2 pax)
The rice given was big portion, so we kept half of each pax in the fridge.
We can fried it for the next meal.

Thanks to our neighbour, it was a wonderful and satisfying dinner.


My son, honey whets the appetite and so does wisdom!
When you enjoy becoming wise, there is hope for you!
A bright future lies ahead!
(Proverbs 24:13-14, The Living Bible-TLB)

Breakfast: Prawn Noodle, Dinner: Steamed Eggs & Steamed Brinjals

It was a beautiful morning and we could feel the cool morning breeze blowing as we walk in the park.
 Sunrise - 7:00 am
Once we have finished our rounds of walking, we were thinking of the prawn noodle we want to try at a new place.
This car was in front of us as we were heading towards our breakfast place.
 This is the 2nd time I see such car on the road.
Doesn't this prawn noodle looks delicious?

We had the following simple home cooked dishes for dinner.
 Steamed Eggs consisting of fresh chicken egg, century egg & salted egg.
 Steamed White Brinjals or eggplants, drizzled with scallop sauce & garlic oil.
 Pan fried salted "cooked fish" and cucumber pickle.

It's like this: when I was a child I spoke and thought
and reasoned as a child does.
But when I became a man my thoughts grew far beyond those
of my childhood, and now I have put away the childish things.
(1 Corinthians 13:11, The Living Bible-TLB)
