Noodles In Soup, Nasi Lemak & Home Made Pizzas

Our friends wanted to introduce a good place with us, so we made a breakfast appointment with them. After picking our friends from their house, we drove to Kedai Makanan Swisang, Persiaran Wira Jaya Barat 38, Desa Perwira, Ipoh.

We ordered 3 bowls of spinach noodle in soup consisting of pork rib, 2 pieces of corn, tofu puffs, leeks, gojiberries, etc. I enjoyed this noodle and drank most of the soup.

Hubby ordered this bowl of curry noodle consisting of bbq pork, roast pork, etc. This curry broth has less coconut milk and tastes sourish with the added lime juice. Those who prefer the curry broth to be "lemak" coconut milk may not like this.

We also packed 2 sets of nasi lemak for lunch.

1 set for our friend and 1 set for hubby and I.

The nasi lemak consists of blue rice (coloured with blue pea flower), crunchy fried groundnuts and anchovies, fried egg, 2 slices of cucumber, chicken curry and salted fish sambal.

Hubby and I shared the above nasi lemak for lunch.

Home made pizza dinner at a friend's house.

Our friend made pizza with store bought pizza base.

The 2 regular sized pizzas were over loaded with toppings.

We took out the 1st freshly baked pizza to cut into 4 pieces.

 The topping was overflowing, so we have to add the pineapple separately.

That evening I had 2 quarters of pizza to fix my craving for pizza.

Thanks friend for the yummy-licious home made pizza.

Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk

so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation.

Cry out for this nourishment,

not that you have had a taste of the Lord's kindness.

(1 Peter 2:2-3, New Living Translation-NLT)

Roast Chicken And Lemang & Beef Rendang

Today is Sunday, 68th day MCO. We had just finished the online worship service because we have not gone back to worship in church. Today is also the first day of "Hari Raya Aidilfitri" celebration observed by the Muslims. Wishing all Muslim readers, "Selamat Hari Raya".

What happened yesterday, Saturday.

Morning sky at 7:00 am (on my right).

Starting out on our early morning walk.

Kledang Hill at 7:00 am (on my left)

Breakfast

Pan fried sausages, beef patty and green tea for hubby.

Homemade mini pizza with thin frozen chapati as base.

I wanted to clear some frozen chapati from my fridge, so I decided to use the frozen chapati as pizza base. I made this pizza with a non-stick pan.

My breakfast: Homemade mini pizza, glutinous rice ball with red bean filling and green tea.  The pizza tastes good with very crispy base but the base was too thin to support the toppings.

~~~~~

Lunch & Dinner

About 1:30 pm, we drove out in search of "lemang" which is glutinous rice cooked in bamboo. We get to eat this once a year and we usually buy "lemang" from this roadside stall every year.

Lemang at RM 15.00

(Glutinous rice with coconut milk cooked in bamboo)

 On the way back, we stopped at Baker's Cottage (in front of Billion Mart, Jelapang).

Roast chicken at RM9.90 each.

We came to know about this roast chicken promotion from a friend. The promotion will be available until 31st May. I bought 1 barbecue roast chicken and 1 black pepper roast chicken. We ate half of the barbecue roast chicken and kept the other half in the fridge. The chicken was still warm, tastes good with crispy skin. We kept the black pepper roast chicken in the freezer for another day.

Dinner

Cut the bamboo and pried it open lengthwise to expose the cooked rice lined with banana leaf inside.

The bamboo with the glutinous rice removed.

We bought 2 tubs of beef rendang at RM 15.00 each.

The lemang or cooked glutinous rice cut into pieces.

To eat, first remove the banana leaf wrapping.

 To start with, we each had 3 pieces of lemang with some beef rendang. We went for a 2nd helping. We kept the rest in the fridge for next day.

It is God himself who has made us what we are

and given us new lives from Christ Jesus; and long ages ago

he planned that we should spend these lives in helping others.

(Ephesians 2:10, The Living Bible-TLB)

Dinner At The Butcher's Table, Ipoh Garden South, Ipoh

This dinner at The Butcher's Table is my 2nd visit. The first visit was lunch with my Golden Girl friends. It was a rainy evening and the six of us were to meet at dinner venue.

 My friends came to pick us up and the other couple will be meeting us at The Butcher's Table, No.18, Tingkat Taman Ipoh 6, Ipoh Garden South.

 I ordered the above Mushroom Soup to share with hubby.

Not to hubby's liking so I finished it.

 The other 2 couples ordered a bowl of Pumpkin Soup each.

Then we ordered the following food for 6 people to share.

 Crispy Roast Pork Aglio Olio.

 Smoked Pork Knuckle

 Ultimeat Pizza - Pizza with meat base.

The dinner for 6 people costs RM 180.45 (incl. 6% SST)

Meat lovers will love this place.

 This was what was left.

With so much meat for dinner, we need to do some walking, so we headed to the nearest shopping mall.

For the needs of the needy shall not be ignored forever;

the hopes of the poor shall not always be crushed.

(Psalm 9:18, The Living Bible-TLB)

Birthday Dinner At Dozo, De Garden, Ipoh

This is a special dinner to celebrate a birthday. No, no, not my birthday but a friend's birthday. This is my first visit to Dozo. This birthday was celebrated in the company of 4 people. I don't have the receipt with me and I can't remember the names of the food we had. The ordering of food was left to my friend.

 A bowl of fried rice

 Something with lots of cheese.

One piece for each person.

 A salad bowl. We enjoyed this salad very much.

 The salad consisted of ice or crystal vegetable which I love to eat.

 Saba fish

 Dumplings

 Cheesy pizza with crunchy fried rice base.
The above food was shared by 4 people.

Pink spider flowers or Cleome.

Every now and then a Cleome plant or two will sprout out from the ground in my garden and bless me with beautiful blooms.

Linking to Wordless Wednesday & My Corner of the World.

Love and Truth meet in the street,

Right Living and Whole Living embrace and kiss!

Truth sprouts green from the ground,

Right Living pours down from the skies!

Oh yes! God gives Goodness and Beauty;

our land responds with Bounty and Blessing.

Right Living strides out before him,

and clears a path for his passage.

(Psalm 85:10-13, The Message-MSG)

Lunch At The Limestone's Restaurant, Regalodge Hotel, Ipoh.

These days, meeting up with ex-colleagues for lunch is not often. Sometimes they have a busy schedule and sometimes, they may have to attend meetings out of town. Nothing can be confirm until we receive confirmation from the organiser.

On this particular Friday, thinking that the mentioned lunch was off, I was busy with my gardening since returning from our morning walk. I was washing a load of clothing in the washing machine and just came out from my bath when I received a test message that the lunch was on. I looked at the clock and I had just enough time to hang my laundry, get dressed and drive to our meeting place. There were altogether 6 of us and we all ordered set lunch.

 Soup of the day.

 American Grilled Chicken Chop

 Hawaiian Chicken Chop decorated with pink umbrella.

 Hawaiian Chicken Chop decorated with green umbrella.

We like the way the potato fries were neatly arranged.

 The chicken chops were served first.

 Followed by 2 plates of Aglio Olio pasta with chicken.

 From this angle, you can see the button mushroom slices. 

Only 5 plates here, what was missing from the table?

 Ah! Finally, the 6th and the last dish was brought to the table - Its pizza!

 Everyone of us get to taste a bit of everything.

No gathering is complete without group photos for sweet memories.

 While waiting for the food to be served, we took a few snapshots but I choose to post this one here.

 Here are some fun shots of us.

 Who gets to eat this piece of pizza?

 Say "cheese"!

Thank you girls for the wonderful company and laughter.

The Limestone's Restaurant also serves dim sum from 7:00 am to 2:00 pm.

Jesus told them,

"In this world the kings and great men order their slaves around,

and the slaves have no choice but to like it!

But among you, the one who serves you best will be your leader.

(Luke 22:25-26, The Living Bible-TLB)
