Shredded Chicken, Pig's Stomach Noodles & Braised Large Intestine

We woke up early and were ready for our morning walk early.

Early morning sky at 6:50am.

Sunrise at 6:51am

We drove to Kedai Kopi Xin Tai You at Jalan Sri Adika for breakfast.

We haven't been there for a long, long time. We were one of the early customers that morning.

Shredded chicken (no prawn) noodle flat rice noodle (kai si hor fun) for me.

Ordered a small plate of braised large intestine.

This was for hubby.

Pig stomach, radish & pepper soup noodle for hubby.

Peace Lilies in my garden.

Beautiful pure white lilies.

Hubby went out to meet his friends and came back with the above deep fried nian gao. It is sticky glutinous cake sandwiched with sweet potato and taro, dipped in batter and deep fried. It is nice to eat while it is still hot. When you take a bite, the sticky glutinous cake will ooze out. Next time, I hope to remember to take a picture to show the cross section.

I was trying to take a nap in the afternoon when I was disturbed by some loud noise outside my house. I looked out and saw that there was some kind of work being carried out to clear water drainage blockages in our area.

Do you want more and more of God's kindness and peace?

Then learn to know him better and better.

For as you know him better, he will give you, through his great power,

everything you need for living a truly good life:

he even shares his own glory and his own goodness with us!

(2 Peter 1:2-3, The Living Bible-TLB)

Early Dinner At Nam Hing Loong Restaurant, Temoh.

We planned to end our 1 day trip with dinner at Nam Hing Loong Restaurant, Temoh. After our lunch at Hutan Melintang, we noted that it will be too early to have dinner in Temoh. According to my friend, the restaurant has changed its business hours to 12 afternoon right up to 10 pm. I also came to know that there is a coffee shop in Temoh that sells yummy steamed buns.

We reached Temoh just after 4 pm. We went straight to the coffee shop and were told that the steamed buns were not ready yet. Our orders were taken down and we were told to collect the steamed buns after our dinner.

At the restaurant, we were not the only early birds because there was another group before us. We have heard about their signature crunchy pork knuckle. We were happy that that day the pork knuckles were available and need not have to pre-order.

Crunchy Skin Pork Knuckles served with 2 types of sauce.

I especially enjoyed the sauce on the left, goes well with the pork knuckles.

We ordered a small portion of spicy stir fried "sang cheong" (intestine/fallopian tubes). This is an exotic dish to some. Some loves it, some won't touch it.

A small portion of stuffed tofu and vegetables.

Stir fried wild ferns with spicy prawn paste.

Dinner for 4 people costs us RM 74.40

(including rice and drinks)

Evening sky @ 6.20 pm

After collecting our take away steamed buns, we started our drive back to Ipoh.

The picture below was taken one evening after coming out from a restaurant in Ipoh. This big golden cloud looked like it was descending down on us.

"I didn't know he was the one," John said again,

"but at the time God sent me to baptize he told me,

'When you see the Holy Spirit descending and resting upon someone

- he is the one you are looking for.

He is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

I saw it happen to this man,

and I therefore testify that he is the Son of God."

Foodie Adventure With Friends From Far And Near

On the 25th, the last Saturday of November, we have friends from another state visiting us. We were informed that they wanted to have dinner at Restoran Peng Yew in Lawan Kuda which is about 30 minutes drive from Ipoh. Once confirmed, hubby called to book a place and also the "san yu" fish. At certain times, the place can get very crowded, so it is better to reserved a table for 7 people. We have to travel in 2 cars.

We started from Ipoh at 5.30 pm.

Waiting at the traffic light...

Drunken "San Yu" Fish Soup

Our friends who reached earlier ordered the food and we needn't have to wait long to be served our dinner. Surprisingly, it was very quiet and not crowded at all.

The meat from the "San Yu" fish used for stir fry with spring onions and ginger. The texture very tender, cooked just right!

Stir fry celery

Sambal stinky beans.

Crunchy deep fried mantis prawns

Spicy and savoury pig's intestine, not everyone's kind of food.

I didn't touch this dish and half was left untouched.

The night was still young. After returning to Ipoh from Lawan Kuda, we went to have some beer and more chatting. We were seated opposite the Ho Yan Hor and Han Chin Pek Soo Museums. Later, we parted for the night and planned to meet up again the next day.

The next morning, hubby and I attended church.

Received a message to meet up for Assam Laksa lunch at Falim.

It was a nice cool day, perfect to enjoy some Assam Laksa. 

Four bowls of Assam Laksa noodles and some fried goodies to be shared by 7 people.

Yes, dear friends, we are already God's children, right now,

and we can't even imagine what it is going to be like later on.

But we do know this, that when he comes we will be like him,

as a result of seeing him as he really is.

Yummy Hunanese Lunch At Restaurant Yi Pin Xiang, Nilai

Thank God Almighty for smooth and safe flight back to Malaysia. Our plane arrived at KLIA2 - Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 on Monday early morning 12.55 am. Our friend and his son from Semenyih came to pick us from the airport. He had prepared a midnight or early morning snack of hot porridge and satay for us in his house. By the time we went to bed, it was about 3.00 am.

By the time everyone was awake the next day, it was around midday. It was time to go out looking for lunch. After circling around the place, we came upon this Chinese Restaurant Yi Pin Xiang in Nilai.

The restaurant is on the first floor.

It occupies 2 shop lots. A friend familiar with the menu did the ordering of food. Hunanese dishes was a first time for some of us.

Gathering Cum Dinner Treat At Fo Tan, Hong Kong

Hong Kong, Day 4 - Dinner Treat At Fo Tan.

After a short tour at Fa Yuen street, the ladies wanted to go shopping and the men wanted to check out the prices for mobile phones. So a lady friend, hubby and I decided to go back to our apartment to take a rest and do some packing because we will be taking our flight back to Malaysia the next day.

By evening, the men came back and together we will be meeting up with the ladies at Fo Tan, in the district of Sha Tin for our dinner. Fo Tan is a funny name. Initially, I thought it means 'charcoal' in Cantonese. But I was told that from the Chinese character, it literally means 'fire beach'. It was a dinner cum gathering of relatives and friends, and the Hong Kong relatives wanted to host this dinner.

Young boys sweating out at the apartment's recreation park. We were on our way to Fo Tan. We needed to take a light bus to the MTR station.

Waiting for the light bus at the bus stop near the apartment.

Here's the light bus.

Took the MTR to Fo Tan. Waiting at the traffic light to cross the road to meet up with the ladies and especially our dinner hosts.

This was where we had our dinner. I think those seated inside, surrounded by the plastic sheets, get to enjoy the air-con. There were altogether sixteen of us, seated at a king sized table! And here's our dinner dishes.

Deep Fried Spring Chicken - very crispy skin and the meat very tender & tasty.

Chicken porridge/congee - a big bowl, tasty and well cooked.

Stir-Fried Noodle with bean sprout.

Deep Fried Soybean Cake in Batter.

Deep Fried Calamari or Squid in Batter.

Dipping sauce for Deep Fried Calamari.

Fish Porridge/Congee - a big bowl, tasty and well cooked too.

Blanched Broccoli with Stir-Fried Canned Mushrooms, etc. in gravy served with dipping sauce.

Deep Fried Pig's Intestine served with dipping sauce. I didn't taste any of the sauce.

Deep Fried Fish Balls served with dipping sauce, made from the fish called 'lean yu' or 'ling yu' in Cantonese.

Braised Chicken served with Deep Fried Bitter gourd with salted egg.
So here ended our last dinner in Hong Kong, our next day dinner will be at the airport. On behalf of our whole group, we once again give thanks to our dinner hosts.

Always be joyful. Never stop praying.
Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will
for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
(1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, New Living Translation-NLT)
