Sweet Sour Pork Rib Wonton Noodle & Home Cooked Dinner

Before I start on my post, I want to share something with you. When we reached home after our morning walk this morning, I didn't notice anything amiss. It was only when I was harvesting the Green Amaranth from the small vegetable patch in front of my house, I noticed an empty space which was supposed to be occupied by a pot of blooming "Crown of Thorns".

Crown of Thorns

At first, I stared at that empty space for a while before I realized that my pot of "Crown of Thorns" was missing. Someone must have used a motorcycle or a car to cart it away because it was not a small or light pot which you can carry it with both hands and walk away with it.

I have read of cases of people stealing pots of plants from shop front or from their neighbours and it looks like this offence or habit of taking things that do not belong to them is becoming a new normal for some people.

Instead of being angry, I actually felt sorry for that person. If he or she has been caught in a CCTV camera by someone else, the video of the theft could have been shared on the social media. Okay, enough of this unfortunate incident that happened this morning. Now back to my post.............

Once in a while, we will drive out to town for our favourite wonton noodle at Restoran Memorable Good Taste, Jalan Theatre, Ipoh.

This restaurant is near to this Octagon Building in Ipoh new town.

To avoid being disappointed, we usually go early to make sure the food is not sold out.

This is a husband and wife team.

As usual, we ordered 2 sets of the above.

Each set consists of a small bowl of sweet sour pork rib,

A bowl of wonton (dumplings) and we added a sui kao dumpling.

And a plate of fine wonton noodle with beansprouts.

The lady boss is also very generous with the pickled green chilies.

Home cooked dinner.

I needed to clear some of the vegetables harvested from my garden.

Omelette with long beans and Chinese chives from my garden.

Home grown long green okras, blanched and served with crunchy chili oil.

Minced pork + fish paste patties, cut into small pieces.

Dinner for 2 people with plain brown porridge.

We couldn't finish the omelette, so I kept whatever was left for the next day lunch.

Pay all your debts except the debt of love for others -

never finish paying that!

For if you love them, you will be obeying all of God's laws,

fulfilling all his requirements.

(Romans 13:8, The Living Bible-TLB)

Cooking mode switched to "ON".

Ready made taro with pork belly. Steam to heat up.

Update from my garden.

I saw only one green tomato on one of my tomato plants.

I hope the flowers will produce more tomatoes in days to come.

Here is my description of a truly happy land where Jehovah is God:

Sons vigorous and tall as growing plants.

Daughters of graceful beauty like the pillars of a palace wall.

Barns full to the brim with crops of every kind.

Sheep by the thousands out in our fields.

Oxen loaded down with produce.

No enemy attacking the walls, but peace everywhere.

No crime in our streets.

Yes, happy are those whose God is Jehovah.

(Psalm 144:12-15, The Living Bible-TLB)

Braised Pork Tendon Treasure Pot For Dinner

This was last Friday morning. It had been raining from the previous night till morning and it was still raining on and off when we drove out to town for breakfast. A friend recommended this place for breakfast. Since I haven't been to this place for a long time, we decided to give this place a try.

Hubby ordered shredded chicken flat rice noodle (koay teow). The taste according to him is "so, so only" and we have a tastier one in our area.

Hor Hee glass or transparent noodle (tung fun) for me.

One try is enough for me.

Looks nice but there was a "tak puas", not satisfied feeling.

On the way home after breakfast.

 A wet, wet morning. Kledang Hill covered with mist.

It continued to rain on and off the whole weekend.

Dinner for 6 people in Menglembu.

Fish slices and assorted vegetable curry in clay pot.

Omelette.

Deep fried salted egg yolk chicken.

Some have already served themselves before I remember to take a snapshot.

Braised pork tender with assorted treasures in clay pot.

The treasures consist of mushrooms, broccoli, clams, tofu, and etc.

For the Lord grants wisdom!

His every word is a treasure of knowledge and understanding.

He grants good sense to the godly - his saints.

He is their shield, protecting them and guarding their pathway.

He shows how to distinguish right from wrong,

how to find the right decision every time.

For wisdom and truth will enter the very centre of your being,

filling your life with joy.

Beef With White Bitter Gourds & Long Beans Omelette

The sky photos were taken in the month of October, 2021.

We were on our way out to town for breakfast and running of errands.

At the roundabout. The building in front is the general hospital.

Took this snapshot while we were on our morning walk.

According to Google Lens, this is Wrightia antidysenterica flower aka Arctic Snow. The plant is a small bushy and compact shrub with flowers all the year round.

This Good News tells us that God makes us ready for heaven -

makes us right in God's sight - when we put our faith

and trust in Christ to save us.

This is accomplished from start to finish by faith.

As the Scripture says it,

"The man who finds life will find it through trusting God."

Beef Noodle Breakfast & Cooking King Oyster Mushrooms

No morning walk on this particular morning (two Thursdays ago) because it looked like it was going to rain and we didn't want to be caught in the rain.

Morning sky at 7:04am.

A snapshot of these blooms with low sunlight.

We drove to Jelapang village for beef noodle. We were informed by a friend that this shop is now open for business after they had closed for some renovation.

We chose a table in the newly renovated shop lot.

Looks like everything is new.

I ordered a bowl of flat rice noodle (koay teow) in clear soup, a bowl of beef soup "ngau lam tong" and some fried stuffs for 2 people.

I heard that the younger generation has taken over the cooking of this beef + white radish soup. There is room for improvement on the soup, hopefully, the soup will soon reach the quality cooked by the older generation.

Hubby and I shared this bowl of noodle.

I like their fried stuffs.

Back home, I spotted this ripen fig before the birds get to it.

My sister-in-law gave me a packet of fresh king oyster mushrooms. I cut some to fry omelette for lunch.

My miniature hibiscus plant is doing well.

Sunset at 6:55pm

It is not often I get to take snapshots of sunsets.

Simple no rice dinner for 2.

Sliced king oyster mushrooms cooked with minced meat.

I added some napa cabbage to the spicy sour mustard green that my friend gave us.
