Roast Chicken, Nasi Briyani & Blanched Vegetable

On Friday evening, a friend texted me to inform that she has ordered a roast chicken for me and hubby, and will be sending it over to my house on Saturday afternoon. 

Sunrise at 7:43am, on our way home from morning walk.

~~~~~

My friend not only sent the roast chicken, she also added a packet of nasi briyani and her son added a deep fried chicken drumstick for hubby and I.

For dinner, I warmed up the roast chicken and the 2 fried chicken drumsticks in the oven. The chicken drumsticks were packed together with the nasi briyani, so I have to removed them from the rice.

I warmed up the nasi briyani and the hard boiled egg separate from the chicken, also in the oven.

I blanched the above green vegetables (given by another friend).

Our dinner, blessed by 2 friends.

Hubby and I shared the nasi briyani. We finished everything including the 2 chicken wings and a drumstick from the roast chicken. The remaining roast chicken was kept in the fridge for the next day's dinner.

Spicy Hot Pot Noodle & Fried Chicken Drumstick

Last Saturday, we drove over to the GP food court in Taman Pertama, Ipoh. There is a new stall which took over the cake and bread stall. This stall serves something like what I have eaten in Johor. You can pick from the variety of ingredients and then the ingredients will be weighed (for cost calculation) before the dish is cooked . You can also request for the level of spiciness.

I chose to order from the set menu which offers 3 choices.

I picked the 1st set which costs about RM12 plus.

From 3 types of meat (beef, chicken, pork), I chose beef.

From rice, instant noodle, thick vermicelli, I chose instant noodle.

I requested for medium spicy.

As you can see from the above, I had beef, instant noodle, lotus root, tofu puff, sausage, green veggie, fried peanuts, etc.

Everything was good except that it was a bit too salty for us and the beef was tough. Next time, I must remember to pick pork or chicken and also to request for it to be less salty.

Hubby ordered 2 fried chicken drumstick and some veggie from the Indian rice stall.

Plus a glass of umbra juice.

Steamed Corn & Fried Chicken Drumsticks

Last Thursday morning, we set out on our morning walk about 7 am because we overslept. 

The moon was clearly visible at 7:02 am that morning.

Morning sky at 7:06 am.

The loud chirping of the little black birds led me on the tree to take a few snapshots.

Snapshot taken at 7:20 am.

On our walk home after breakfast, we stopped to buy some corn which was selling at RM1.10 each. The middle corn in the above picture was given free because it was not fully developed.

Another day with lazy mode, so no cooking but I made coleslaw. Hubby went out to buy 4 pieces fried chicken drumsticks and French fries for dinner from the food court.

Early Breakfast At Restoran Bai Nong White Coffee, Ipoh.

Restoran Bai Nong White Coffee opened for business on the 2nd of July. This place sells noodles, fish and meat balls, stuffed tofu and bean curd sheet for breakfast. Every morning we could see people queuing outside, either to dine-in or to take away food.

Yesterday morning at about 6:40 am, they were already serving their customers. Seeing no crowd at the shop, we decided to take breakfast before our morning walk.

 We ordered a bowl of rice vermicelli in clear soup, 2 stuffed tofu, some fish balls and meat balls to share.

 Sunrise at 7:00 am

After breakfast, we continue our morning walk.

 Sunrise at 7:17 am

On our way home, I stopped to take a snapshot of this pretty hibiscus.

 Back in my garden, I took a snapshot of my bitter gourds. I can see 1 white and 3 green bitter gourds hanging from their vines.

Yesterday, it was my first home visitation since MCO.

  Before I finished my home visitation, hubby called me to inform that he will go out to buy fried rice for dinner.

 He also bought 2 types of fried chicken drumsticks from another stall.

This was our simple take-away dinner. 

Saw this antique iron in one of the shops we visited.

I remember using one of this when I was a young kid.

Chicken Noodle Soup & Nasi Lemak From Restoran Pulau Sembilan, Ipoh

Yesterday, 63rd day CMCO was a very warm day. We started the day with our morning walk near our house. Then we drove out to town to pass something to a friend and after that we proceeded to the nearby Restoran Pulau Sembilan to buy our breakfast.

Sunrise at 7:05 am

Took this snapshot before we set out on our morning walk.

~~~~~

Breakfast from Restoran Pulau Sembilan.

Chicken noodle soup (kai si hor fun) 2 pax, without the soup.

We had separate container for the soup.

Chicken noodle soup with soup added.

These stainless steel containers (tiffin carrier) serve as our bowls.

From the next stall, we bought a bottle of sambal @ RM 13.00 and a packet of crispy snack (rempeyek ikan bilis) @ RM 5.00

Crispy and addictive snacks.

We also bought a packet of nasi lemak + 2 fried chicken drumsticks for lunch. 

Mid morning snack - sweet and a bit sourish juicy mangoes.

~~~~~

Lunch

We bought this nasi lemak from the same stall selling the sambal and crispy snack .

Nasi Lemak without the sambal and 2 pieces deep friend rempah chicken drumsticks.

Nasi lemak with sambal and rendang gravy added.

This packet of nasi lemak + 2 drumsticks = RM 10.50

Apple mango from a friend - ripe enough to be eaten.

Sweet and juicy mango for dessert.

~~~~~

Dinner

I decided to fry rice with petai and instead of using dried prawns, I used beef burger. Please don't ask me why.....

Leftover dish from the previous day.

Condiment: red chili in soy sauce.

No oomph because the chili has no heat at all.

Strange combination: Fried rice with petai, beef burger, eggs and onions. Tasted weird to hubby and he didn't finish his plate of fried rice. A furry friend was happy to help finished the fried rice. Anyway, this will be my first and last time I used beef burger fried rice. Lol!

Chicken Curry Noodle, Fried Chicken Drumsticks, Watercress Soup & Steamed Eggs

Yesterday was 41st day MCO. During this rainy season, there was no spectacular sunrise to catch.

Morning sky at 7:04 am.

Sunrise at 7:07 am.

Sunrise at 7:10 am.

I wanted to catch the birds flying in V-shape but only managed to get this image.

Sunrise at 7:15 am.

Sunrise at 7:26 am.

After this snapshot, I went into my house to prepare breakfast.

Noodle with chicken potato curry.

I reheated a portion of previously cooked chicken curry. I blanched some home grown veggie (baby pak choy), cut some home grown limes and cooked dried Cintan noodle to make breakfast.

Delicious breakfast for 2 people.

~~~~~

This is the first time I made a trip to the nearest wet market since MCO started. I decided to go a bit late to avoid the long queue to buy 2 free range chickens.

I bought 2 taros (yams) and a papaya from the wet market. I bought the potatoes and lotus root from the local mini market.

I bought a packet of beansprouts, 2 types of green vegetables and watercress. I used the watercress to make soup that evening.

Dry noodles and a packet of glutinous rice.

I haven't decided what I want to do with the glutinous rice.

The things I brought back from my trip to the wet market and mini market.

Only the 2 free range chickens were not shown in the photo.

~~~~~

Lunch

Hubby went out to buy lunch from the nearby Indian stall. Deep fried spicy chicken drumsticks, salted egg and rice. We were disappointed because there was no more curry gravy.

~~~~~

Home cooked dinner

Soup: watercress, carrot, pork ribs, red dates and wolfberries.

Steamed eggs

Ingredients: 3 types of eggs (2 chicken eggs lightly beaten, 1 salted egg, 1 century egg), water, a pinch of salt, pepper. To get the smooth silky texture, make sure not to over steam or over cook the egg. While still hot, sprinkle chopped spring onions and drizzled with garlic oil and soy sauce.

From the above image, you can see the 3 different types of eggs. 

Simple home cooked dinner on a cool wet evening.

It was placed in the center of the room.
