Steamed Chinese Pomfret Fish & Cabbage Soup For Dinner

Yesterday morning we woke up at about 6:45 am and walked to the nearby shops behind our house. We didn't walk in the park because by then many people will be there.

Sunrise at 7:07 am

 We decided to take breakfast in our regular coffee shop. Since we have downloaded "MySejahtera App", we can use our mobile phone to scan the QR code at the coffee shop and no longer have to write down our names and contact numbers. Again, I forgot to snap photos of our breakfast. Hubby had a plate of fried rice vermicelli which I took a few mouthfuls and we shared a cup of unsweetened coffee.

For lunch, we had cream crackers with pineapple jam and Nescafe.

Home cooked dinner.

Steamed Chinese white pomfret fish with ginger strips, garnished with spring onions and drizzled with garlic oil, oyster and soy sauce. I bought this fish from a roadside stall for RM 13.40.

Cabbage soup with sesame oil, ginger strip, 2 fried eggs, carrot and pork belly slices.

Crispy and spicy chili flakes sambal.

An early dinner for 2 people.

For dessert: we shared this large Korean Young Wha pear.

It was sweet and juicy.

he will not only remember it but he will do what it says,

and God will greatly bless him in everything he does.

Making 2nd Batch Pineapple Jam.

Saturday, 88th day MCO
We didn't walk in the park because we woke up a bit late. We only walked to the nearby shops behind our house, stopped to buy hubby's breakfast and then walked back home.

On the way home I stopped to snap the above picture of pigeons on the power cable.

Breakfast

Fried glutinous rice for hubby.

And some pig's skin and long bean curry which was eaten with the glutinous rice.

I ate home made oat porridge with dried cranberry and walnut pieces.

Our breakfast with a pot of Sabah tea.

Making 2nd batch of pineapple jam.

My friend, neighbour and I enjoyed my pineapple jam. Since we have all finished the pineapple jam from the 1st batch, it is time for the 2nd batch.

This time, I used 2 pineapples.

Place the pineapple pieces in the chopper or blender.

Poured all the roughly blended pineapple into a pot and boiled it over low fire about 30 minutes. Then add in cane sugar or brown sugar. I don't have cane sugar so I used brown sugar. (The sweetness according to the your taste). Followed by lemon juice from 3 to 4 lemons. I used juice from 1 lemon and a few limes (all that I had in the fridge). 

Remember to stir every now and then. Simmer over low fire until the jam thickened to preferred consistency. Add sugar if needed. Let the jam cool completely before storing in containers.

From 2 pineapples, I get 5 small tubs of jam. The above 3 tubs will be given to friends and I have 2 tubs in the fridge for ourselves.

This is our first time tasting the chicken rice from our regular coffee shop. A plate of sesame bbq chicken and rice to share with hubby. We chose to dine-in at the coffee shop.

We had Chinese Century Pears for mid afternoon snack.

Home cooked dinner

I boiled soup with daikon, carrot, red dates, goji berries and pig's shoulder bones.

Snake beans, red okras, prawns cooked with spicy sambal paste.

Steamed Chinese white pomfret (tau tai chong fish) with ginger.

Garnished with home grown spring onions and drizzled with garlic oil, oyster and soy sauce.

Satisfying dinner for 2 people.

Hubby had steamed rice while I go without rice.

Without wise leadership, a nation is in trouble;

but with good counselors there is safety.

(Proverbs 11:14, The Living Bible-TLB)

A Fruity Day

Yesterday morning, after our morning walk, hubby went out on his motorbike to buy breakfast. He wanted his favourite mee jawa from Restoran Tet Shin.

 Mee Jawa in stainless steel Tiffin carrier for hubby.

I ate a piece of bread with the remaining pineapple jam and a cup of hot Nescafe.

 Hubby went out and came back with the above big dragon fruit.

His friend gave it to him.

Fruits from our trip to the nearby supermarket.

 I bought 2 pineapples at RM 2.99 each.

I am planning to make pineapple jam again.

 A pack of 5 Green kiwifruits @ RM 11.99

 And 1 golden dragon mango for RM 3.64 (RM 5.99 / kg)

In the afternoon, I boiled red beans sweet porridge (tong sui) and gave some to my neighbour.

 Just before dinner, my neighbour gave us 2 big pears (above).

 Last night's dinner was a simple one. We had steamed rice and the remaining portion of vegetable curry. That's all.

Have a good day.

Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean;

wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

Online Sunday Worship Service On 40th Day MCO

We had thunderstorm for the past few days. When we woke up yesterday morning, it was still drizzling since the previous night. Yesterday was the 6th Sunday that we logged on to online Sunday worship service. First thing in the morning, I went out to look for the sunrise.

Sunrise at 6:58 am.

Breakfast

A friend gave the Chinese cruller and glutinous rice doughnut which we added to our pan fried bacon and burger for breakfast. Hubby bought black coffee from our regular coffee shop to fix our craving for coffee.

Round purple eggplants from my garden.

I cut 2 big fresh pears for our lunch.

~~~~~

Simple dinner.

I kept a big portion of the stewed chicken feet that I cooked the previous day in the fridge. I took it out, re-heated it for dinner. A dish completed with meat and veggie (Chinese cabbage).

This simple 1 dish dinner is sufficient to meet our need.

I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed,

but will have sufficient courage so that now as always

Christ will be exalted in my body,

whether by life or by death.

(Philippians 1:20, New International Version-NIV)
