Nasi Kunyit, Prawn Noodle & Poached Chicken Leg

Most mornings, hubby will decide where to go for breakfast. I will only decide what to eat when I reached the place. On this particular morning, we went to Restoran Meng Meng Kee.

Hubby ordered nasi kunyit (turmeric glutinous rice + chicken curry).

I ordered prawn noodle which by itself is not spicy. I am still avoiding spicy food for the time being so I didn't touch the spicy sauce.

Home cooked dinner

I poached 2 chicken legs in slow boiling water + ginger slices + garlic. I didn't have spring onions so I used garlic. When the chicken legs are cooked, I shredded the meat off the bones. Then I drizzled oyster + soy sauce and garlic oil over it before serving.

2 bowls of chicken soup that was used for poaching the chicken. I was nice to drink without adding any salt.

Broccoli cooked with marinated minced meat.

(these were extra that were kept in the fridge).

Steamed brown rice.

I steamed the rice with a bit extra water to soften the rice for easy digestion.

The following hill / cave photos were taken outside the Gunung Lang area, facing the road.

Ipoh city is surrounded by limestone hills.

With the many limestone hills in Ipoh, the underground water is good for growing beansprouts.

 Ipoh is famous for blanched beansprout and poached chicken which attracts tourist from far and near.

There is a jogging / walking track along these hills.

Behind these hills is the Gunung Lang recreational park and lake.

Shall I look to the mountain gods for help?

No! My help is from Jehovah who made the mountains!

And the heavens too! He will never let me stumble, slip, or fall.

For he is always watching, never sleeping.

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.

Morning Walk & Breakfast In Penang

When it was bright enough, hubby and I went down to take our morning walk around the hotel. It was about 7:20am plus with gloomy sky.

There was not much traffic at that time.

Macallum Central Hotel.

I wonder if the boss of this chicken rice shop is a fat man.....

The sign above caught my eyes.

"Drink High"

I suppose this sign will be light up at night.

Our friend told us that this is a well known stall selling sweet porridge.

Bubur kacang, gandum & pulut hitam or peanut, oat and black glutinous rice porridge.

They were closed both times we were here.

~~~~~

I didn't ask our friend where he was taking us for breakfast.

Our friend ordered 2 bowls of white curry noodles for 4 of us to share. The curry only tastes good after adding the curry paste served in the spoon.

2 bowls of prawn noodles, also for sharing.

Thin crispy pancakes or apom. Nice and crispy when eaten still warm.

Mixed fruit dessert.

That is all for 4 of us.

~~~~~

Our friend stopped the car in front of the bank. One of us went into the bank and I got down to take some snapshots.

Sculptures of golden rats.

Pulau Tikus means Rat Island.

A few steps away is another sculpture (side view).

A golden rat riding on a bullock cart (front view).

After this, we went back to the hotel, packed, checked out and drove back to Ipoh.

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.
