Last week we went to pick up our old friends from their house to take them out for lunch. The place we wanted to have lunch was closed. Our friends suggested a new place which we haven't been to. It is the Face to Face Noodle House in Greentown Business Center.

Fried Dumplings, Gaozi, Home Grown Veggies For Dinner

I was watering my plants one morning when I noticed a butterfly on my periwinkle plants. It seemed to like the white periwinkles and it didn't fly away even when I was standing quite near taking all the snapshots.

It is not often I get to take photographs of butterflies without them flying away.

After I had taken enough of snapshots, I continued watering my plants.

Hubby went to visit his friend in Pusing and came back with some kuih.

These are glutinous rice flour kuih with different types of filling.

The above were harvested from my garden. They were red and green okras, and white brinjals/eggplants/aubergines.

Steamed red and green okras, and white eggplants. Drizzled with garlic oil, oyster and soy sauce.

Deep fried sui kao or dumplings.

My friend brought the gaozi skin and I prepared the filling.

I boiled lotus root soup and we placed the cooked gaozi in the soup.

2 types of dipping sauce for the gaozi and fried sui kao.

Dinner (without rice) for 4 people.

We each had 1 sui kao, 3 gaozi and a bowl of soup.

The same butterfly with its many poses.

We kept the extra gaozi and fried dumpling for the next day's dinner.

1. Pan grilled stingray fish and squid (wong kai lun) with sambal paste. 2. Angled luffa. 3. Fried sui kao. 4. Soup with gaozi. For 2 evenings, we had friends over for dinner and they enjoyed our home grown veggie.

Dear brothers,
giving thanks to God for you is not only the right thing to do,
but it is our duty to God
because of the really wonderful way your faith has grown
and because of your growing love for each other.

Face To Face Noodle in Johor Bahru.

It was a Monday morning and our 4th day in Johor Bahru. My friend wanted me to try this special noodle at Face To Face Noodle House. Every meal is a new adventure for me. We didn't take any breakfast and by the time we were ready to go out, it was about 11.00 am.

 I love this noodle that is served with bbq pork and minced pork.

 This bowl of soup with 2 meat balls comes together with the plate of noodle.

 I found that the noodle tasted especially delicious when I stirred in the chili flaks paste.

 We also ordered 5 pieces deep fried crunchy dumplings.

 Face To Face Noodle House, Johor Bahru.

Thanking God for another beautiful day!

Ah, I hear him - my beloved! Here he comes,

leaping upon the mountains and bounding over the hills.

Lunch With Golden Girls At L's Fusion Cafe, Ipoh.

For the month of September, the Golden Girls had a lunch outing on a Thursday and it was a day after the Deepavali celebration.

It is the "L's Fusion Cafe" which is located at 117, Lengkok Desa Rishah 1, Desa Rishah, Ipoh.

 We were the first customers.

 Nice decorations inside the cafe.

Simple Home Cooked Ginger Chicken & Fried Dumplings.

There are some foodstuffs in my refrigerator that I needed to clear. As far as possible, I try to check my fridge regularly to make sure that the foodstuffs will be consumed before their expiry date. I noticed that there is a bunch of green vegetable and some dumpling skin (sui kow wrappings) in the fridge that needed to be used up fast. I checked the freezer to see what I can cook for dinner and I found half a chicken and some minced meat. So below were the home cooked dishes I cooked from the items I found in my fridge.

Ginger Chicken

Main ingredients: Chicken, chopped ginger & garlic, Chinese cooking wine.

Fried Dumplings with minced meat & chopped prawns filling. 

 Blanched green vegetable (choy sum) with garlic oil & oyster sauce.

A simple home cooked dinner for 2 person.

It is because I have preached these great truths

that I am in trouble here and

have been put in jail like a criminal.

But the Word of God is not chained, even though I am.
