Fish Noodle, Pork Noodle & Roasted Duck Rice

After about 4 days without rain, I get to get some sunrise clicks yesterday morning. 

7:10am - starting out on our morning walk.

7:16am.

For yesterday's breakfast, I ordered grouper fish meat with rice vermicelli. Normally, this fish noodle will come with salted sour vegetable which I enjoy very much. Since I am not suppose to take sour food, I asked to omit the salted sour vegetable.The fish is fresh and the soup is sweet.

Looking east, this was yesterday's evening sky at 7:30pm.

Looking west, this is the sky at 7:30pm.

Today's breakfast after morning walk.

I ordered pork noodle and I requested for wheat flour (mee sua).

~~~~~

I am feeling much, much better today and I have the energy and mood to do some tidying of the outside garden.

This is my one and only bougainvillea plant and it does need some trimming. This is an old photo and it has grown into a bush. Initially, I thought of just giving a trim to make it a bit like a mushroom top. But after I started to trim, I found that underneath the leaves were a lot of dead and rotten twigs. So I started to remove and clear all the dead twig and the end result is a bald top for my bougainvillea plant. Lol!

The trunk has shown sign of rot due to the rainy season and hopefully by removing all the leaves and branches, the sun will put a stop to the rot. Bougainvillea is a sturdy plant and I hope new branches will appear soon.

After all the hard work, we went to Restoran Tuck Kee to buy roasted duck rice for lunch. I asked for breast meat rice @ RM7. I wanted to order for Chinese New Year and was told that the new price list for 2023 will only be out in January.

Turn from all known sin and spend your time in doing good.

Try to live in peace with everyone; work hard at it.

(Psalm 34:14, The Living Bible-TLB)

Red Yeast Rice Chee Cheong Fun & Fish Noodle For Breakfast

This was a Tuesday morning. We are still in the rainy season but that morning we were happy to see the sunrise, though only for a short while.

Sunrise at 7am.

Dark cloud blocking the sunrise at 7:40am

After morning walk, we drove to Menglembu Industrian area for breakfast. I forgot the new name of the restaurant. A friend informed hubby of this new place.

We ordered fish head noodle in white broth. Tastes good but I would prefer the broth to be a bit more sourish.

While waiting for the chee cheong fun to be served, I ordered the above siew bao with bbq pork to try.

Steamed red yeast rice flour roll or chee cheong fun with filling. The filling is actually crispy fried prawn roll. Together with the sambal and soy sauce, it tastes very different from the usual steamed chee cheong fun. This is my first time eating this type of chee cheong fun.

After we have finished breakfast, I bought the above bun that looks like Polo Bun with bbq pork filling for my lunch.

Reached home at about 9:05am, there was no sign of the sun.

On the reverse side at 9:05am. Expecting rain soon.

For lunch, I had the polo bun with bbq pork filling.

~~~~~

We had leftover food for dinner.

Leftover stewed pork rib with home grown daikon.

The above spicy chicken or ayam masak merah was from our neighbour.

Dinner with steamed brown rice.

Simple dinner turned out to be not so simple with the addition of the masak merah ayam from our neighbour.

Just as water is turned into irrigation ditches,

so the Lord directs the king's thoughts.

He turns them wherever he wants to.

(Proverbs 21:1, The Living Bible-TLB)

Prawn Noodle, Fish Noodle, Chinese Rojak & Bubur Cha Cha

 This was a Sunday morning. We attended the Sunday service in Jelapang.

Sunrise at 7:15am.

We had breakfast before going to church.

Hubby ordered prawn noodle.

I ordered from a stall which I have not tried. I chose fish noodle with ginger egg omelette. It was nice but a bit sweet to my taste. Next time, I will prefer to order the item with pickled vegetable (hum choy).

Beautifully trimmed trees in a friend's house.

After church, we drove to Jelapang town for a light lunch.

We ordered a small plate of Chinese rojak. It was served with the sauce in separate bowls.

Finally, I get to eat bubur cha cha, while hubby ordered coconut water.

The wicked will finally lose; the righteous will finally win.

(Proverbs 21:18, The Living Bible-TLB)

Fish Noodle For Breakfast & BBQ + Hot Pot Dinner

Instead of taking breakfast in the same old places in our area, our friends suggested that we go try a new place. So, we agreed to meet up and go in one car. The name of the coffee shop is Kedai Makanan Swisang, Gunung Rapat, Ipoh.

I ordered the above: fried fish noodle with pickled vegetable (hum choy). I think the white colour is due to evaporated milk. This is very tasty.

Hubby ordered dry curry noodle.

~~~~~

Later in the evening, we had dinner at Thai Hou Sek BBQ Taste at Perniagaan Falim, Ipoh. For a change, we wanted to have something different instead of the usual rice with dishes.

This is a new eatery.

Top row for vegetables and bottom row for dipping sauces.

On the wall above the rows of food varieties.

For a start, we picked the following items.

Some fresh scallops, cuttlefish rings, thin slices of pork belly.

Thick slices of marinated pork belly.

Big prawns.

Fried snacks and many others which I didn't get to take snapshots.

First round, some went into the soup (outer ring) and the centre is for grilling. To round up the dinner, we took 2 rounds of ice cream because the ice cream very smooth and creamy.

We were one of the first customers and half way through, the place was all filled up.

Good thing we were early when it easier for us to get the food we like without having to crowd with the others.

I don't know the exact pricing but for senior citizens the charge is RM39.90 per person. There were 4 of us and we only need to pay for 3 people + 1 free.

In total, we paid RM131.65 (inclusive of 10% service tax).

Listen with respect to the father who raised you,

and when your mother grows old, don't neglect her.

Buy truth - don't sell it for love or money;

buy wisdom, buy education, buy insight.

Parents rejoice when their children turn out well;

wise children become proud parents.

So make your father happy! Make your mother proud!

(Proverbs 23:22-25, The Message-MSG)

Dinner At Sun Hung Ting Restaurant, Ipoh

After our early morning walk, we had breakfast appointment with friends at Kedai Kopi Tasek Indra in Bercham, Ipoh. It was a Saturday morning but we were early (about 7:30am) so there was no problem getting a table for 6 people.

Hubby had kai si hor fun or shredded chicken flat rice noodle with smoked duck.

I had fish noodle (thick rice vermicelli).

~~~~~

For lunch, hubby and I together with a friend went to Restoran Kar Heng for rice porridge.

While waiting for the porridge to be served, our friend walked over to Restoran Embassy to buy the above sweet cake or Nyonya kuih.

2 bowls of plain rice porridge.

I was not hungry so hubby and I shared a bowl of porridge.

A plate of fried fresh water fish for sharing.

Just a light lunch because we were looking forward to dinner with friends.

~~~~~

We already called Restoran Sun Hung Ting to reserve a table for 8 people.

Even though it was raining heavily that evening, all tables were taken.

We ordered the following dishes.

Signature tofu: fried tofu with topping.

3 flavoured fried (fall off the bone) pork rib.

Tilapia fish (oil soaked style)

Assorted vegetables curry.

We wanted to order grouper fish slices in wine soup but that evening they do not have grouper slices so we ordered free range chicken in wine soup.

Pink Mexican Petunias or Pink Showers from my garden.

I have both pink and purple Mexican Petunias in my garden.

The seeds self disperse and self propagate all over my garden.

Some can be found sharing pots with other plants.

Linking to Wordless Wednesday, My Corner of the World & Garden Affair.

Our earthly fathers trained us for a few brief years,

doing the best for us that they knew how,

but God's correction is always right and for our best good,

that we may share his holiness.
