Christmas Cookies & Flowers From A Friend

The following sky photos were taken in the 1st week of this month, December. 

Morning sky at 7:20am.

That morning, we get to see the sunrise even for a short while.

Hubby and I love to eat this messy dry colour noodles.

I will always order flat rice noodle (koay teow) while hubby will order the yellow noodle.

The thick curry gravy almost completely covered the noodle.

I need to stir up the noodle just to check if I had the right plate of noodle.

~~~~~

This was about 1 week later.

This was at 6:50am.

The sky was dark but it didn't rain so we had our morning walk.

My stomach was not feeling well for a few days so I went to the government clinic near my area. While waiting to get my medication, I saw this little girl looking at the Christmas decoration. For your info, my stomach is feeling much better now. Doctor's advice: refrain from spicy and sour food.

~~~~~

So for the time being, I will be a good girl.

For next morning's breakfast, I ordered 1 popiah (spring roll) to share with hubby. What about the chili on the popiah? Fortunately, it was more sweet than spicy.

The popiah tastes good. A must order on our next visit.

I ordered shredded chicken noodle or kai si hor fun.

This is quite good but not as good as our regular stall in my area.

Hubby ordered prawn noodle (combination of yellow noodle and rice vermicelli).

~~~~~

Yesterday, a close friend drop by to give me something.

I received these 2 flower bouquets from her. They are not real flowers. She has a few so she gave me 2.

She suggested that I can use the flowers for decoration.

I decided to decorate my mother's mother-in-law tongue plants with the yellow flowers.

She also gave me the above Christmas cookies.

Nine pieces of yummy cookies or berry tarts with a star in the centre.

Seek him who created the Seven Stars and the constellation Orion,

who turns darkness into morning and day into night,

who calls forth the water from the ocean and

pours it out as rain upon the land.

Shredded Chicken Noodle, Polo Bun, Economy Rice & Popiah

This was on a Saturday in January this year. As usual, we were ready to start our morning walk. But first, I took a few snapshots of the lovely sunrise.

Sunrise at 7:15am.

Sunrise at 7:25am.

Sunrise at 7:44am.

Our breakfast at Kopitiam Huan He, No. 32, Jalan Ng Weng Hup, Taman Pertama, Ipoh.

Hubby ordered shredded chicken noodle (kai si hor fun).

The boss added chicken liver to the bowl of noodle.

I wanted something light so I ordered 1 plain polo bun (cut into 2).

We shared unsweetened coffee (kopi-c kosong) and Chinese tea.

Home grown pineapple in my garden.

We went back to the same coffee shop for lunch.

We shared a plate of economy mixed rice (chap fun).

From the look of the pineapple, it will be another tiny pineapple.

For dinner, we had popiah at the nearby GP food court.

I forgot what else we ordered because I didn't take any photo.

The pineapple is still green.

Waiting for it to ripen.

Here is another story illustrating what the Kingdom of God is like:

"A farmer sowed his field and went away, and as the days went by,

the seeds grew and grew without his help.

For the soil made the seeds grow. First a leaf blade pushed through,

and later the heads of wheat formed, and finally the grain ripened.

and then the farmer came at once with his sickle and harvested it."

(Mark 4:26-29, The Living Bible-TLB)

Kopisan Lai Fun, Hor Hee Noodle, HK Chee Cheong Fun & Popiah

This was a Thursday morning. It was drizzling so we cancelled our morning walk. We drove out to town for breakfast at GP Kopisan, Off Jalan Tokong, Ipoh.

Fish balls and fish cake slices.

Fried goodies.

2 bowls of rice noodle (lai fun) with some sesame seeds and spring onion.

This chili dipping is a must , it makes a great difference.

Breakfast for 2 people.

Growing daikon in my garden.

~~~~~

Dine out dinner.

Some friends recommended this hor hee noodle at a food court. Finally got to try and I ordered the above.

We ordered mung bean noodle (tung fun). It looks nice but it fell short of our expectation after all the recommendation. 

We also ordered steamed Hong Kong chee cheong fun.

And a piece of spring roll (popiah).

This trishaw snapshot was taken in June, 2016 when we visit the Antong Coffee Mill in Taiping. The cyclist driver of this trishaw sits behind the passengers. Some designs has the cyclist driver sitting besides or in front of the passengers.

Chee Cheong Fun, Popiah & Chicken Chop Rice With Cucumber Pickle

By now I am getting a bit confused because there seem to be overlapping MCOs for us in Ipoh. So for us Ipohites, if there are conflicting sop, then it is safer to follow whichever is stricter to avoid getting a fine from the authority. Today is the last day of EMCO for us. So from tomorrow onwards we will follow the sop for the FMCO aka the Total Lockdown, until further notice. The only difference is that we can go out for our morning walk but we can only do so after 7am.

The following morning sky photos were taken before EMCO.

Morning sky at 6:45am, outside my house.

Morning sky at 6:55am, at the nearby shops.

This is the best time for walking, when we have the whole streets to ourselves (almost).

Pink sky at 7am, at the nearby shops.

Breakfast.

Our favourite chee cheong fun (steamed flat rice rolls with dried shrimp) from Canning Garden. Generous toppings of crispy fried shallot, sesame seeds, green chili pickle, shallot oil and soy sauce.

Self-propagated cockscomb plants outside my house.

Popiah lunch, blessing from our neighbour.

Dessert: home made guilinggao (herbal jelly).

~~~~~

My neighbour called and told me,

 "No need to cook dinner, I have ordered 2 sets of dinner for you".

Rice with cucumber pickle (2 pax)

Hainanese style chicken chop (2 pax)

The rice given was big portion, so we kept half of each pax in the fridge.

We can fried it for the next meal.

Hainese style chicken chop rice with appetizing cucumber pickle.

Thanks to our neighbour, it was a wonderful and satisfying dinner.
