Fried Chicken Wings, Fried Prawns, Steamed Egg With Minced Pork

As we were driving out to the coffee shop, I saw this .....

The sun rising from behind the moutain at 7:48am.

Hubby had to slow down for me and this is the best shot I got.

~~~~~

Breakfast

I ordered wonton noodle with bbq pork and minced meat dumplings.

I also ordered coffee which I shared with hubby.

Hubby ordered shredded chicken noodle (kai si hor fun). The boss was in good mood and he topped the noodle witth some dried scallop. Hubby ordered a glass of Chinese tea which we shared.

~~~~~

Lunch for 3 people: Just me and my 2 sons.

Hubby had a small lunch gathering with his old coursemates in Bercham.

Deep fried pre-marinated chicken wings.

Sauteed Chinese kai lan with garlic and salt.

Just 2 dishes plus some leftover which we need to clear from the fridge.

~~~~~

Afternoon snack.

Steamed glutinous rice cake with grated coconut.

Elder son haven't eaten this for a long time so I went out to buy some grated coconut from the Buntong wet market which is a short drive from my house.

I added a pinch of salt to the grated coconut.

Scooped out the steamed sticky glutinous rice into small balls and rolled with grated coconut.

~~~~~

Dinner for 4 people.

Deep fried prawns coated with oyster and soy sauce.

Ingredient for sauce: oyster and soy sauce, sugar and salt to taste, and cooking wine.

Salted egg yolk beans and carrot strips.

This is my first try and I will need to try again.

It didn't turn out as expected but the taste was quite good.

Steamed eggs with minced pork, drizzled with garlic oil.

I haven't prepared this dish for a long, long time.

Three dishes plus some leftover chicken wings from lunch.

Doggie photos for Saturday's Critters.

Saw this dog taking a walk in front of my house.

He met up with another dog coming from the opposite direction.

I don't know what they said to each other in their doggie language.

There was no barking or baring of teeth at each other.

Then they parted and went their own ways.

Linking to Saturday's Critters.

A person may think their own ways are right,

but the LORD weighs the heart.

To do what is right and just is more

acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.

(Proverbs 21:2-3, The Living Bible-TLB)

This was last Thursday. No morning walk because we had something to do in town.

Driving out to town for breakfast and running of errands.

I didn't cook that evening, so we eat out at Kopitiam One Curve at 139, Lengkok Desa Rishah 1, Ipoh.

We ordered 4 deep fried chicken wings marinated with shrimp sauce.

A plate of fried rice (Size: 1 portion)

I was still quite full from my late lunch, so we shared the above.

Remember me too, O Lord,

while you are blessing and saving your people.

Let me share in your chosen ones' prosperity

and rejoice in all their joys,

and receive the glory you give to them.

(Psalm 106:4-5, The Living Bible-TLB)

Dinner At My Kitchen Restaurant, Ipoh

In preparation for the Lunar New Year, I finally came out of my lazy mode to take down some the curtains for washing. I was thinking earlier whether I should engage a professional curtain cleaning service this year or DIY the curtain cleaning myself. In the end, I decided to DIM i.e. do it myself. All these years I have been doing all the cleaning by myself. Now, the spring cleaning job has to be spaced out into a few days as I am beginning to feel my age even though my mind still thinks I am young. Hahahaaa... 

Thanks to the hot and sunny weather, the curtains were dried and put up again in the same day.

That evening was our dine-out dinner with friends and this time our friend suggested My Kitchen Restaurant since we haven't been there for a long, long time.

4 lemon with tangerine peel warm drink (chan pi lemon) RM19.20

You can top up on the hot water.

Braised black fungus with pork belly (S size) RM18.80

Eggplant (brinjal), stinky beans with minced pork (S-size) RM19.80

Shrimp sauce deep fried chicken wings RM16.80

4 small portion rice RM4.80

Total cost of dinner + 6% service charge = RM84.15

Some of his disciples began talking about the beautiful stonework

of the Temple and the memorial decorations on the walls.

But Jesus said, "The time is coming when all these things

you are admiring will be knocked down,

and not one stone will be left on top of another;

all will become one vast heap of rubble."

"Master!" they exclaimed.

"When? And will there be any warning ahead of time?"

He replied, "Don't let anyone mislead you.

For many will come announcing themselves as the Messiah,

and saying, 'The time has come.' But don't believe them!"

Certified Vaccination Completed!

26th July is finally here! It was the day for my 2nd dose vaccination. Few days earlier, I received an sms notification and also an automated voice call  to remind me of my appointment. For my 1st dose at the Indera Mulia Stadium, it took me 3 hours 40 mins because of the big crowd. For my 2nd dose, it was a drive thru at the same place and the whole process took about 1 hour 30 minutes. Some of my friends who went on a different day took only 20 mins to clear the whole process.

Sunrise at 7:12am to start the new day.

It was misty on the Kledang Hill (on the reverse side) at 7:12am.

Morning sky at 7:20am

Still misty on the Kledan hill.

We walked to the Dim Sum Restaurant to buy breakfast.

Yam puffs and siew mai dim sum.

Crispy and flaky skin with moist filling.

Steamed buns: "san yuk pao" for hubby (left) and "wong chow kai yuk pao" for me (right).

Cut into halves to show the fillings.

We joined the long queue of cars going into the ground of the stadium at about 11:30am. There were 2 queues and we were on the left side.

We passed the 1st check point where my temperature was scanned, checking of my vaccine card and consent form. Now heading towards to 2nd check point.

I had my 1st dose done inside this indoor stadium (Indera Mulia).

Approaching the vaccination booths to receive my 2nd dose.

I was shown the syringe with the amount of vaccine before and after the jab, the empty syringe. By the time we reached home, it was about 1pm. Time for lunch.

I heated up the steamed big bun and fish balls which I bought in the morning and kept aside for lunch.

Yummy fish balls at RM2.50 each.

Steamed big bun (tai pau) at RM6. We shared the big bun.

After lunch and a short rest, I tried to take a short nap.

When I woke up from my nap, hubby reminded me about the spoon experiment. I didn't expected anything but was shocked to see the metal spoon sticking to both my arms with my own eyes! Could this be due to some of our bodies having some kind of static electricity? But one thing I was very sure, the weather was very warm and it could be due to the sweat and sticky arms. Anyone has a better explaination? Or did I become a magnetic woman?

I called to order 3 pairs of fried chicken wing and 1 portion of fried rice.

The portion of fried rice is big and is enough for 2 people.

While hubby went to collect the food, I sauteed napa cabbage and carrot with dried shrimp.

Crispy fried chicken wings.

To end the post, here is a snap shot of an antique cheque writer machine found in the Gopeng Museum.

Update on post vaccination: After 1st jab, I didn't sleep well on the 1st night. After both jabs, there was no tiredness or sleepiness except for the soreness of the arm that was injected.

I received my digital vaccination certificate on MySejahtera app on the same day I completed the 2nd dose.

Many people say, "Who will show us better times?"

Let your face smile on us, LORD.

You have given me greater joy than those

who have abundant harvests of grain and new wine.

In peace I will lie down and sleep,

for you alone, O LORD, will keep me safe.

(Psalm 4:6-8, The Living Bible-TLB)
