Breakfast At A Riverside Village House, Pasir Pinji, Ipoh

On the last day of February, our friends invited us for breakfast.

We drove to their house and from there, they directed us to this riverside village house in Pasir Pinji.

Menu on a banner.

I ordered this Hor Hee noodle with mung bean noodle. This is one of the best Hor Hee noodle I have tasted. The soup is very flavourful.

Our friend's hubby ordered Prawn Noodle.

Our friend ordered pork noodle with generous ingredients in it consisting of an egg, slices of kidney, liver, meat balls, pork slices and green vegetable.

Hubby ordered stewed pork leg noodle which he enjoyed very much.

2 pieces of deep fried crunchy beansheet sheet.

Thanks to our friends for a delicious breakfast.

We will definitely be going back to try the other varieties.

According to the owner of the eatery, these oranges are only good to look at but not good to eat because they are very sour.

A tiny butterfly paid my garden a visit.

We can make a large horse turn around and go wherever we want

by means of a small bit in his mouth.

And a tiny rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever

the pilot wants it to go, even though the winds are strong.

So also the tongue is a small thing,

but what enormous damage it can do.

A great forest can be set on fire by one tiny spark.

And the tongue is a flame of fire.

It is full of wickedness, and poisons every part of the body.

(James 3:3-6a, The Living Bible-TLB)

We also bought some fried snacks from this shop.

Fried crunchy bean curd sheet.

This is worth buying again on our next trip.

Home cooked dinner.

I used both the green and purple brinjals for steaming. After steaming, I sprinkled garlic oil, oyster and soy sauce over the brinjals.

Steamed prawns with ginger strips, goji berries and raisin wine.

Steamed rice with steamed prawns and steamed brinjals.

Steaming is simple and easy and healthier.

Instead, we will lovingly follow the truth at all times - speaking truly,

dealing truly, living truly - and so become more and more

in every way like Christ who is the Head of his body, the Church.

Under his direction, the whole body is fitted together perfectly,

and each part in its own special way helps the other parts,

so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.

(Ephesians 4:15-16, The Living Bible-TLB)

Hubby missing his favourite steamed rice noodle (chee cheong fun) from Canning Garden.

We went to buy take-away 2 portions of chee cheong fun and 4 pieces of fried crunchy beancurd sheet.

Hubby's chee cheong fun with sesame seeds, fried crispy shallot + oil, and soy sauce. Later, all the pickled green chili will go to my plate.

I will usually order the same as hubby's chee cheong fun but this time I wanted to try adding some shrimp paste (hae ko in Hokkien). Penang version has a darker shrimp paste, this is a paler version.

We love to munch on these crunchy beancurd sheet.

Both chee cheong fun with or without shrimp paste taste great.

Simple lunch

Red dragon fruit, pear and few pieces of leftover stuffed items.

I remember the first time I ate a whole big red dragon fruit. I noticed my urine was reddish in colour and I thought there was blood in my urine. I was really worried and was thinking of going to the clinic. So relieved when I realized it was due to the dragon fruit and save me the trip to the clinic. The next day, the colour was back to normal.

Finally, we managed to clear the leftover stuffed items.

Pear for hubby because hubby doesn't like dragon fruit.

Fresh, sweet and juicy red dragon fruit.

A pretty moth on my Coleus.

This is my first time seeing this moth in my garden.

Linking to Saturday's Critters.

Don't hoard treasure down here where it gets eaten by moths

and corroded by rust or - worse! - stolen by burglars.

Stockpile treasure in heaven, where it's safe from moth

and rust and burglars. It's obvious, isn't it?

The place where your treasure is,

is the place you will most want to be, and end up being.
