Yellow Cucumber Soup, Fried Fish & Mui Choy Kau Yuk For Dinner

This was last month, 5th Saturday. Under EMCO, we cannot dine-in, so hubby went out on his motorcycle to buy take away (tapau) for breakfast.

I requested for flat rice noodle with shredded chicken meat and prawn (kai si hor fun). This time they didn't give enough of the red oil. Taste was ok even though look was not ok.

Hubby wanted to buy stewed chicken feet with mushroom noodle but it was not available, so he just bought plain rice vermicelli tossed with soy sauce, etc.

He picked only 3 pieces of fried items to go with the plain noodle.

This was our first meal of the day.

Dinner.

I harvested the first yellow cucumber from my garden.

Ingredients used: 1 yellow cucumber, carrot, red dates, wolf berries, dried cuttlefish, and pork ribs. Gave a big bowl of soup to our neighbour.

Fried fish.

Almost hidden underneath the generous amount of crispy ginger strip and chopped garlic, soy sauce and fragrant ginger and garlic oil.

This was our dinner.

I have finally cleared all the fish from the fridge.

Dinner Gathering At Restoran Chuen Kah Fook, Menglembu

Our last foodie outing for this group of friends was in September, 2019. One of our friends fell and broke a bone in her leg and our foodie outing was put on hold waiting for her to recover. Now that our friend is able to move about slowly on her own, we resumed our foodie outing again and this time we planned a dinner in Restoran Chuen Kah Fook, Menglembu. 

Braised chicken and pig's stomach in clay pot. This is a favourite and their signature dish. Even those with weak gums will enjoy this dish.

Fish head curry with bean curd puffs and assorted vegetables.

Yam or taro basket filled to overflowing with assorted treasures.

Steamed Pork Belly with preserved vegetable (mui choy).

Baby Kai Lan (Chinese kale) with ginger juice.

Total cost of dinner came to RM 138.70 for 7 people.

After this delightful dinner, we are looking forward to the next dinner in a few week's time.

In heaven a crown is waiting for me, which the Lord,

the righteous Judge, will give me on that great day of his return.

And not just to me but to all those whose lives show that

they are eagerly looking forward to his coming back again.

Lunch With Ex-Colleagues At Sun Hup Kee Restaurant, Ipoh.

Last Thursday evening, there was a text from an ex-colleague inviting us to meet up for lunch the next day. For those who are still working, Friday is the day with longer lunch hours for us to enjoy our meal with some time for chit chatting. 

No, no, this is not the year-end lunch that we used to have before the Chinese New Year. We still have about 2 weeks to prepare for the Chinese New Year and the "closing year lunch" will be sometime within this 2 weeks. According to the Chinese calendar, we are still in the 12th month!

The venue was only decided when we were all seated in the car. After a few suggested places, we finally agreed on Sun Hup Kee Restaurant at Jalan Leong Sin Nam, Ipoh. We ordered the following dishes for lunch for 6 people.

 Deep fried Black Pomfret with Vietnamese sauce.

A very appetizing dish.

 Steamed Pork Belly with preserved veggie (mui choy).

 Tofu with minced meat & canned peanuts with steamed egg.

Chicken with ginger and sesame oil

 A combination of long beans and eggplant,

topped with fried garlic and preserved radish (choy poh)

The lunch cost approx. MYR 150, incl. rice, drinks & 6% GST.

 CNY decoration at the Tea Place Cafe.

But most of all, dear brothers,

do not swear either by heaven or earth or anything else;

just say a simple yes or no so that you will not sin

and be condemned for it.

Dinner With Friends At Locomotive Seafood Restaurant, Bercham.

On Saturday afternoon while our guests were preparing to leave for home, we received a phone call to inform that our friend from Subang Jaya was also back for the "Ching Ming" festival and requested us to meet up with him and his sister for dinner that night in Bercham.

 We replied that we will be happy to meet up with them that evening.

 It took us about half an hour's drive to reach Bercham.

 Our meeting time was 8 pm. 

 The best part of going out in the evening is catching sight of the sunsets.

Hallelujah! O servants of Jehovah, praise his name.

Blessed is his name forever and forever.

Praise him from sunrise to sunset!

For he is high above the nations;

his glory is far greater than the heavens.

(Psalm 113:1-4, TLB)

 We needed 2 cars to take us to the restaurant.

As you can see, the place was already crowded.

 It was about 8.30 pm and we did get a table for ourselves.

 This is their menu.

 Deep fried tofu with "seng kua" or angled luffa gourd and black wood fungus.

 Deep fried pork belly with preserved sweet veggie or "mui choy kau yoke".

 Stir fried green veggie with garlic.

 Pork slices with dried chilis and onions or "koon poh chu yoke".

Sweet potato leaves stir fried with spicy prawn paste.

This was our yummy dinner with delightful fellowship for 6 people. After dinner, we parted and to meet again for next morning Sunday celebration in church.

May God's abundant blessings be upon you!
