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.

Polo Bun Sandwich And Wonton Noodle

This was the 2nd day I hurt my back while gardening.

No morning walk but I can still sweep the floor and water the plants.

Sunrise at 6:50am.

Hubby went out to the nearby shop for his breakfast and I stayed home. I asked him to get for me a polo bun sandwich for my breakfast.

Home made milo and polo bun sandwich.

The polo bun has a piece of ham and an egg.

~~~~~

Tomato plants from my garden.

One plant has started to flower.

Another one has buds.

~~~~~

Pre-CNY gifts from friends and neighbour.

Hubby's friend came from Sitiawan and gave us this box of Tambun biscuits from Penang.

A friend made glutinous rice cake (nian gao) and gave us 2.

We received the above from our neighbour: A box of mandarin oranges, a can of abalone and a pactket of Chinese sausages.

~~~~~

No cooking that evening, so we eat out.

We had wonton noodle in Buntong village. We have been patronizing this place for 30 over years.

We ordered 2 plates of wonton noodle (dry version) with pork strips, gravy and fat beansprouts.

2 bowls of minced pork wonton dumplings with extra dumplings.

Took this snapshot when we last visited in 2015.

Deep Fried Tilapia With Appetizing Sauce & Braised Pork Leg

This was last Friday morning. It was a nice and dry morning so we can have our morning walk. 

The rain has now shifted from morning to late afternoon or evening.

When there is no rain, the day will be hot and sweaty.

We stopped at a roadside stall to buy this economy fried vermicelli with spicy sambal for me and a packet of nasi lemak for hubby.

Next, we walked to our regular coffee shop for their signature coffee. We ordered a glass of iced coffee-C and a glass of Chinese tea to share.

For lunch, hubby bought 5 pieces of deep fried nian gao (glutinous sticky rice cake) from Bercham.

This is our favourite snack.

 Look at the soft, gluey sticky glutinous rice sandwiched between the taro slice (top) and the orange colour sweet potato (bottom).

~~~~~

To avoid being caught in the evening rain, we reached Restaurant Wong Sheng early for dinner. Halfway through our dinner, it rained heavily. We took our time to enjoy our dinner and waited for a short while for the rain to stop before we got into the car.

One of our favourite dish to order:

Deep fried tilapia with special appetizing spicy sauce - RM32.

Another of our favourite:

Deep fried lotus root slices, baby French beans and carrot coated with salted egg yolk paste - RM16.

We came to know of this new dish: Flavourful braised pork leg - RM50.

Total cost of dinner for 4 people = RM104.

(inclusive of 4 rice, small portion and hot water)

This snapshot was taken in 2015.

 It was painted on the side wall of a corner shop lot.

With respect to your former lifestyle,

you are to lay aside the old self corrupted by its deceitful desires,

be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

and put on the new self - created to be like God

in true righteousness and holiness.

Goodbye 2021, Hello 2022

Happy New Year 2022!

We had a simple home cooked dinner at home on New Year Eve. Too eager to start dinner that I forgot to snapshot the dishes I cooked. Nothing special. I cooked bbq pork belly (char siew), stewed chicken feet with dried shiitake mushrooms, blanched 1 green (choy fah) and stir fry beansprout. We will be having the leftover with noodle for lunch later.

New Year Eve Blessings from a friend who came to visit us.

We were blessed with fragrant biscuits or Heong Peah bought from Taiping,

and pandan layer cake from Klang.

Pandan layer cake is one of my favourite cake.

We enjoyed this cake because it is not very sweet, just nice for us.

It says here that the pandan layer cake has to be consumed within 3 days.

We need to finish the pandan layer cake before we can start to taste the fragrant biscuits.

Hubby bought some deep fried stinky glutinous rice cake (nian gao) for our friend to try.

He also bought a few pieces of deep fried taro slices.

This time I remembered to take a snapshot of the sticky, gluey glutinous rice cake sandwiched between thin slice of sweet potato on one side and thin slice of taro on the other side.

Breakfast on the 1st Day of New Year 2022.

Fish Noodle wine extra wine added,

plus some fried stuff,

and 2 bowls of herbal tea.

The following photos were taken a few months ago.

I heard dogs parking and when I looked out I saw these beautiful dogs passing by led by their owners.

The owners were taking their 3 dogs for a walk and when they walked past, other dogs were barking at them.

This was on another day.

The dogs caught sight of a cat which ran to hide under the truck parked by the roadside.

The dogs were restrained from going after the cat that was hiding under the truck.

Linking to Saturday's Critters.

A wise man restrains his anger and overlooks insults.

This is to his credit.
