Nasi Lemak, Chive Omelette, Salad & Glass Noodle In Soup

This was on a Friday, one week before we were placed on Enhanced Movement Control Order (EMCO) which is the tightening of the MCO 3.0. Under MCO 3.0, we were still able to enjoy our early morning walk.

The streets were deserted at about 7am.

~~~~~

We stopped at a roadside stall to buy nasi lemak.

The nasi lemak and sambal sauce were packed separately.

I have extra cut chives in the fridge which I didn't use up.

So, I used it to make chive omelette.

Hot milo

Breakfast for 2 people.

Nasi lemak with the sambal sauce added.

I bought the above biscuits for snacks. These are my favourite biscuits. On the left is the peanuts and sesame biscuit and on the right is the cream crackers without oil. 

Gifts from my neighbour.

~~~~~

Simple and healthy lunch.

Baby Romaine lettuce, red and yellow capsicums.

Baby Romaine lettuce with Kewpie roasted sesame dressing. Hubby doesn't like capsicum nor is he a fan of raw nuts and cranberries.

Colourful and beautiful salad for me.

Baby Romaine lettuce, red and yellow capsicums, pine nuts, walnuts, and cranberries.

Drizzled with Kewpie roasted sesame dressing. So yummy!

~~~~~

Afternoon snack.

A type of rojak consisting of blanched water spinach, tofu, fish balls, fish cake, fried stuffed bean curd sheet, and peanut sauce.

~~~~~

Dinner

There won't be any hot pot party for the time being so I used the hot pot flavouring to cook soup with fish and meat balls, cauliflower, carrot and sweet peas.

Glass noodle (tong fun) to go with the soup.

Light and healthy dinner for 2 people.

Condiments to go with the glass noodle soup for extra flavouring.

Left: spicy crispy anchovies, right: curry paste oil.

"Good salt is worthless if it loses its saltiness;

it can't season anything. So don't lose your flavor!

Live in peace with each other."

Meatballs Vegetable Soup, Sambal Long Beans & Stewed Chicken Feet

From the previous day's dinner, there was leftover of roast chicken breast and a chicken leg. I had green vegetable in the fridge, so I decided to boil a simple soup with some minced meat balls and add in the green vegetable.

I also added in a chicken egg and a century egg to the soup.

I warmed up the roast chicken breast and chicken leg. With the chicken breast meat, I shredded it and make salad with my home grown cucumber. This was our no rice, no noodle dinner on a Sunday evening.

This and the following 2 photos were taken before Lunar New Year when we went to collect the pomelos that hubby booked for his sister.

Took a snapshot of the wall mural while waiting at the traffic light junction.

We used to drive to Tambun for fresh pomelo fruits.

~~~~~

For the next day (Monday), I cooked 2 dishes and steamed rice for dinner.

Stewed chicken feet with Shiitake mushrooms and napa cabbage.

Home grown long beans cooked with spicy sambal dried prawn.

Kai Si Hor Fun & Home Cooked Sambal Petai With Minced Meat

Yesterday morning, I needed to go to the bank. Before going to the bank, we wanted to eat kai si hor fun or shredded chicken noodle soup for breakfast. We skipped our morning walk and went early for breakfast to beat the crowd. At about 7:50 am, parking was no problem and service was fast because not many dine-in customers.

 Shredded chicken noodle soup or kai si hor fun.

This is the 2nd time we had this for breakfast during MCO.

We felt as if we hadn't eaten any thing even after eating a bowl of noodle and a cup of coffee.

Home cooked dinner

 Stinky beans or sambal petai with dried prawns and minced pork.

 Assorted veggie in soup

(Home grown malabar spinach, angled loofah, red okra & dried prawns)

Simple home cooked dinner for 2 people.

Hubby ate the steamed rice and I ate oat porridge.

This snapshot of The Octagon "tower" was taken while waiting at the traffic light on the way to the bank after breakfast.

for you are my high tower of safety, my God of mercy.

Dinner At Restoran Kok Thai & Leaning Tower In Teluk Intan

This is the 5th and final posting for our one day trip to Bagan Datuk. From the biscuit shop, the bus took us to the new Restoran Kok Thai in Jalan Kastam, Off Jalan Maharaja Lela, Teluk Intan where we will be having our dinner.

 Most of us were not really hungry because we had a late lunch.

Plus, my friend and I ate a piece of Teochew kuih on the bus.

 For starter, we were served a bowl of appetizing soup with ingredients such as white tofu, salted veggie, tomatoes, seaweeds, etc.

 Followed by the above plate of Ice Vegetable salad as an appetizer. It's a first time eating Ice Vegetable for most of us and we enjoyed it very much. I am going to keep my eyes open for this Ice vegetable the next time I visit the supermarket.

 I think this is deep fried tofu cubes stir fried with diced beans, dried prawns, onions, and etc.

 Fried tofu with toppings of minced meat and spring onions.

 Tender chicken meat stir fried with yellow, red, green capsicum and carrot.

 Fish head in clay pot.

 Deep Fried Prawns

 Crunchy Deep Fried pork knuckle. It was served with the meat separated from the bones. Sweet sour chili sauce for dippings. Overall, it was a good dinner with flavourful and tasty food. Most of us enjoyed the dishes without eating much rice.

 The night scene with the lighted up leaning tower of Teluk Intan was the final highlight of our one day tour. I took a video to show the changing of colour lights but it didn't turn out well.

And finally, a group photo in front of the leaning tower for our album before we headed back to Ipoh.

I take this opportunity to thank every one in this tour group for a wonderful trip. "Thank you" to the people concerned for organizing the tour, pre-ordering of the snacks, taking photos, and those that I didn't mention here. Thank you, Stella for introducing this tour to me and also not to forget the bus driver and partner for the smooth and safe ride. Hope we can get to enjoy more tours together and may God bless you all!
