Enoki Mushroom & Blanched Nai Pak Choy

The sky looks dark and felt like it was going to rain anytime soon.

Morning sky at 6:45am.

6:50am.

We decided to drive out to town for breakfast.

7am.

Hubby was looking forward to his favourite curry noodle.

7:05am.

Not much traffic at this time.

7:10am.

Looking forward to having breakfast at Kedai Kopi Ah Chow, Ipoh old town.

Hubby's dry curry noodle (yellow noodle).

This round, I ordered the prawn noodle.

For extra oomph, I poured the whole plate of sambal into the bowl of prawn noodle.

Back home, I harvested the remaining nai pak choy from hubby's vertical garden.

For dinner, I blanched the nai pak choy and enoki mushrooms, drizzled with garlic oil, oyster and soy sauce.

Our dinner consisted of brown rice porridge and the blanched nai pak choy and enoki mushrooms. This simple dinner is enough to fill our tummy. Just before retiring for the night, we each had a cup of hot milo-o (just plain milo with any sweentener).

Hallelujah! Thank you, Lord! How good you are!

Your love for us continues on forever.

Who can ever list the glorious miracles of God?

Who can ever praise him half enough?

Wat Tan Hor, Assam Laksa & Fried Fish With Nyonya Assam Paste

The day started with a nice sunrise.

Finished our morning walk early at about 7:30am.

Drove out to Yummy Food Garden in Menglembu Industrial area for breakfast.

Hubby ordered flat rice noodle with egg gravy (wat tan hor).

I ordered assam laksa. I have no problem eating assam laksa for breakfast.

Love the generous amount of fish meat in the laksa.

When I can't have the Penang assam laksa, this one will do for me.

~~~~~

Home cooked dinner.

Fried grouper fish meat and topped with Nyonya assam paste.

Beansprout sauteed with home grown Chinese chives, chopped garlic and salt.

2 salted eggs.

We ate brown rice porridge with the above dishes.

Simple, satisfying and filling.

Feed the hungry! Help those in trouble!

Then your light will shine out from the darkness,

and the darkness around you shall be as bright as day.

And the Lord will guide you continually,

and satisfy you with all good things, and keep you healthy too;

and you will be like a well-watered garden,

like an ever-flowing spring.

(Isaiah 58:10-11, The Living Bible-TLB)

Lakeview In Kampar & Homeward Bound

After Prawn Village in Tanjung Tualang, we drove to Kampar. 

It was still early and we were not ready to go home yet.

Blue sky and white clouds.

We reached Kampar Westlake at about 2pm.

We stopped to snap some photos.

I have been here a few times when my sons were studying here. This is a nice place for the students to gather and loiter here especially in the evening.

We wanted to have ice-kacang or shaved ice dessert in one of the shops in Kampar town but found the shop closed. So we decided to drive straight back to Ipoh.

Sign by the roadside.

Passed by a petrol station. Dark cloud looming over us. Later there was a heavy downpour but stopped before we reached home.

I bought the above snack from Tanjung Tualang.

I bought 2 packs. 1 plain and 1 with black sesame.

This used to be our favourite childhood biscuits, folded into a triangle.

There used to be a folded paper inside the triangles but only a few with coins.

We kids are more interested in getting the coin than eating the biscuits. Those were the days. These days, these biscuits no longer have any coin inside.

~~~~~

Since it was still early when we reached home, I had time to boil plain rice porridge for dinner.

I had some leftover pork cooked with belimbing buluh or Averrhoa bilimbi fruits.

I opened a packet of preserved vegetable with peanuts.

The amount is just enough for 2 people.

A simple and light dinner after a sumptuous lunch in Tg Tualang.

 Come to me and I will give you rest -

all of you who work so hard beneath a heavy yoke.

Wear my yoke - for it fits perfectly - and let me teach you;

for I am gentle and humble, and you shall find rest for your souls;

for I give you only light burdens.

(Matthew 11:28, The Living Bible-TLB)

Dinner At Sun Hung Ting Restaurant, Ipoh

After our early morning walk, we had breakfast appointment with friends at Kedai Kopi Tasek Indra in Bercham, Ipoh. It was a Saturday morning but we were early (about 7:30am) so there was no problem getting a table for 6 people.

Hubby had kai si hor fun or shredded chicken flat rice noodle with smoked duck.

I had fish noodle (thick rice vermicelli).

~~~~~

For lunch, hubby and I together with a friend went to Restoran Kar Heng for rice porridge.

While waiting for the porridge to be served, our friend walked over to Restoran Embassy to buy the above sweet cake or Nyonya kuih.

2 bowls of plain rice porridge.

I was not hungry so hubby and I shared a bowl of porridge.

A plate of fried fresh water fish for sharing.

Just a light lunch because we were looking forward to dinner with friends.

~~~~~

We already called Restoran Sun Hung Ting to reserve a table for 8 people.

Even though it was raining heavily that evening, all tables were taken.

We ordered the following dishes.

Signature tofu: fried tofu with topping.

3 flavoured fried (fall off the bone) pork rib.

Tilapia fish (oil soaked style)

Assorted vegetables curry.

We wanted to order grouper fish slices in wine soup but that evening they do not have grouper slices so we ordered free range chicken in wine soup.

Pink Mexican Petunias or Pink Showers from my garden.

I have both pink and purple Mexican Petunias in my garden.

The seeds self disperse and self propagate all over my garden.

Some can be found sharing pots with other plants.

Our earthly fathers trained us for a few brief years,

doing the best for us that they knew how,

but God's correction is always right and for our best good,

that we may share his holiness.
