Salted Egg Yolk Chicken, Fried Chicken, Chicken Curry, Corn & Daikon Soup

This was on a Monday morning. It was nice and cool because it rained the previous night.

Breaking of dawn - 7am.

Sunrise at 7:26am

That morning I was thinking of nasi lemak.

When I was at the stall, I bought 1 nasi lemak and also bought 1 nasi kunyit (turmeric glutinous rice) with chicken and potato curry. We shared the nasi lemak and nasi kunyit.

I found a packet of prawn cracker (not yet fried), given by a friend before EMCO, followed by FMCO. It was not a big packet so I fried and gave some to this friend.

Our neighbour was so kind and thoughtful. When they went out to buy their lunch, they bought 2 sets of lunch for us as well.

Set 1 - Nasi Lemak with egg and fried chicken.

Sambal sauce for the nasi lemak.

Set 2 - Salted egg yolk fried pork & egg with rice.

Salted egg yolk sauce for the fried pork.

They also bought the above crunchy pickled papaya for our snack.

~~~~~

After such a heavy and filling lunch, we wanted something light for dinner.

So I just boiled soup for the warm evening.

Ingredients for the soup: Daikon, corn, carrot, big onions, goji berries and meat.

A bowl of soup for hubby.

I love carrots so you will notice that my bowl had a lot of carrot.

Since everything here today might well be gone tomorrow,

do you see how essential it is to live a holy life?

Daily expect the Day of God, eager for its arrival.

The galaxies will burn up and the elements

melt down that day - but we'll hardly notice.

We'll be looking the other way, ready for the promised new heavens,

and the promised new earth, all landscaped with righteousness.

(2 Peter 3:11-13, The Message-MSG)

Chinese Rojak & Vegetarian Dinner At Q Time Cafe, Ipoh

This took place at the end of last month (August). We had friends visiting us and we planned to hike up the Kledang Hill after a Chinese rojak snack in my house. 

 There was a mixture of 4 types of fruits and vegetables such as cut pineapple, guava, yam bean and cucumber.

 I also deep fried a plate of crunchy prawn crackers.

Chinese rojak sauce to eat with the cut fruits and vegetables, and prawn crackers.

 After the Chinese rojak snack, we waited until it is cooler before we drove to the foot of Kledang Hill in Menglembu. This was a snapshot our friend took from above at the little garden.

 After coming down from Kledang Hill, we went for a vegetarian dinner at Q Time Cafe in Desa Rishah.

 This place serves totally vegetarian.

Thanksgiving Dinner At Rainbow Seafood Restaurant, Menglembu, Ipoh

Our friend just returned from a trip to China and on Sunday night, he gave a thanksgiving dinner for safe journey throughout the whole trip. He invited my hubby and I and also their friend who is back from England for a holiday. He picked Rainbow Seafood Restaurant to hold the thanksgiving dinner.

On arrival we saw that the place is packed with customers. We didn't have to worry because a table has already been booked for us. Not only did he booked a table, he also booked 2 lobsters for dinner. He wanted to book 3 lobsters but the restaurant has only 2 lobsters left.

Our friend and wife brought along a bottle of red wine.

A plate of crispy, addictive prawn crackers to keep us occupied while waiting for our food.

After waiting for quite some time, our lobster dish arrived at our table. The lobsters were cooked in special sauce.

The lobsters claws were as big as the lobster's body and contain as much meat as the body.

There were 5 of us but only 4 halves of lobster. Our generous friend and wife insisted that we, their guests, each take one half of lobster and they shared one half between themselves.

This is the first time I have tasted lobster meat. I had thought that lobster meat is tough. I was proven wrong. The lobster's meat was tender and sweet and cooked in tasty special sauce. And there's plenty of lobster roe too. Overall, it was very tasty and very delicious, hmm...yum, yum...fingers licking good!

To enjoy our lobster, we have to abandon our fork and spoon to use our hands.

Next dish - Deep Fried Cod Fish. Outside was crispy, the inside flesh was very tender and fluffy. First time I have tasted deep fried cod fish, usually it was steamed.

Baby French Beans stir-fried with garlic.

Fried Rice very tasty.

Fried Noodle a bit salty to our liking.

We want to thank our generous friends (husband and wife) for a very scrumptious dinner. And not to forget to thank you also for the lunch.

Total cost of dinner MYR 613.32 (incl. 6% tax) (approx. 172.19 USD).
