Nescafe Shake, Steamed Tilapia & Dogs Adoption

This was last Sunday. After morning walk, we walked to one of our regular coffee shop for breakfast.

I ordered Iced Nescafe Shake, something which I haven't had for a long time.

Hubby ordered Chinese tea.

Hubby bought 2 pieces of Chinese type of doughnuts and ordered a plate of fried noodle to share. No photo of the fried noodle.

After breakfast, I stopped at another shop to buy popcorn.

1 medium size tub cost RM8, very fresh and nice.

~~~~~

For lunch, we drove to Chemor town for this special steamed fish.

This is the signature steamed fish of Restaurant 226 in Chemor.

We forgot it was a Sunday. Good thing we managed to get a small table for ourselves. We only ordered this steamed fish and 1 portion rice to share.

Driving home after lunch.

Passed by this structure.

My kind hearted friend adopted 2 young stray dogs recently.

She named this male dog Wolfie. He is very shy.

This is Wolfie's sister. My friend named her Goldie.

After a month plus, both the dogs have put on weight.

Wolfie is still shy but not as shy as before.

Goldie is more outgoing, playful and friendly.

Both dogs are happy and getting on well in their new home.

Yam With Pork Belly For Dinner

This was a lovely Sunday morning. 

I was just in time to capture the sun coming up from behind the hard cloud.

Sunrise at 7:25am

Floating white fluffy clouds at 7:27am.

Nice clear and blue sky.

Walking out to the nearby shops to buy breakfast.

I bought my favourite snacks: Rempeyek and muruku.

Hubby bought hum chim peang and ma keok for himself.

We also bought 2 steamed bun (nam yee pau).

The cream crackers and jam was for me.

Dinner

Sometimes, I couldn't think of what to cook. Actually, I was thinking of yam with pork belly. The last time we had this was in April this year when we were able to dine-in with our friends. That was before the full lockdown.

I called up the restaurant to order 2 portions of yam with pork belly (about RM18 per portion). I gave 1 portion to our neighbour.

I only cooked the above dish: cabbage, carrot, 2 ladies fingers and spring onion from my garden.

The above photo of the old Lido cinema was taken in 1957.

This image was on display at the UTC Ipoh in 2015.

The Lido cinema is no longer in operation but the building remains.

he remains faithful to us and will help us,

for he cannot disown us who are part of himself,

and he will always carry out his promises to us.

Assorted Pastries, Hokkien Fried Fat Noodle & Steamed Pork Ribs

This is another day with gloomy sky. As long as it is drizzling, we can still go for our walk.

A glimpse of the sunrise at 7:30am.

On the way back, we made a detour to the nearby shops to buy the above items for breakfast.

Top row: 2 yam puffs and 1 curry puff, 3 items for RM5.

Bottow row: 2 siew pau and 1 egg tart, 3 items for RM5.

Fried flaky bbq pau and hum cheem peang.

The bbq pork filling of the fried flaky siew pau is nice but the skin is too thick.

Hubby bought this and he couldn't remember how much he paid for it.

For lunch, hubby went out to buy Hokkien fried fat noodle for us to share.

Home cooked dinner.

Steamed pork ribs with preserved black beans.

Blanched home grown Malabar Spinach, drizzled with garlic oil, oyster and soy sauce.

Our neighbour bought for us stewed fish head. To heat up for dinner, I steamed it and added in the leftover roast pork I had in the fridge. This was more for me because hubby is not a fan of fish head.

I kept aside half of the steamed pork rib for next day.

I saw this unusual white butterfly fluttering on the tarmac road on our morning walk.

This is a mango loving dog. My friend recently took in a stray dog and it surprised her to see this dog enjoying a ripe mango that had fallen from the tree in her garden.

My friend shared this short video of her adopted dog enjoying the mango.

Instead, you received God's Spirit when he adopted you

as his own children. Now we call him, "Abba, Father."

Mangosteen & Take Away Dinner

Started out on our morning walk a bit late.

Sunrise at 7:20am

We detoured and walked over to where the shops are to buy breakfast.

Hubby bought nasi lemak and 2 hum chim peang.

I wanted to eat crackers with orange + ginger jam.

Mangosteen is one of my favourite fruits. I bought these for RM4 per kilo. Some places are now selling RM5 to RM6 per kilo.

 Mangosteen is claimed to have cooling effect and helps to cool down our body heat especially after consuming lots of durians.

We love this sweet, sourish juicy white pulp.

Can you spot the mourning dove under my porch.

There were actually 2 and they were cooing to each other.

~~~~~

The weather was hot and humid and I went into lazy mode.

Hubby went out to buy take away food.

He chose 3 types of dishes: Fried black pomfret, sweet sour mustard green and stinky beans with minced pork.

He also bought 2 portion of rice.

Ending this post with an evening sky shot.

Hope it will rain later in the night.

What is faith? It is the confident assurance

hat something we want is going to happen.

It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us,

even though we cannot see it up ahead.
