Meatballs Vegetable Soup, Sambal Long Beans & Stewed Chicken Feet

From the previous day's dinner, there was leftover of roast chicken breast and a chicken leg. I had green vegetable in the fridge, so I decided to boil a simple soup with some minced meat balls and add in the green vegetable.

I also added in a chicken egg and a century egg to the soup.

I warmed up the roast chicken breast and chicken leg. With the chicken breast meat, I shredded it and make salad with my home grown cucumber. This was our no rice, no noodle dinner on a Sunday evening.

This and the following 2 photos were taken before Lunar New Year when we went to collect the pomelos that hubby booked for his sister.

Took a snapshot of the wall mural while waiting at the traffic light junction.

We used to drive to Tambun for fresh pomelo fruits.

For the next day (Monday), I cooked 2 dishes and steamed rice for dinner.

Stewed chicken feet with Shiitake mushrooms and napa cabbage.

Home grown long beans cooked with spicy sambal dried prawn.

But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people.

You are royal priests, a holy nation, God's very own possesion.

As a result, you can show others the goodness of God,

for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.

Dinner At ASOW Eatery Station, Ipoh

One Friday evening, we went to try a new place. This new place is ASOW Eatery Station  and recommended by a friend. From the outside, this place looks like an ordinary plant nursery. We had to use the Waze app to direct us to our destination.

Roast Chicken Legs For Lunch & Stewed Pig's Leg For Dinner.

We reached the park early and there were not many people around. The place was peaceful, and we could feel the nice, cool breeze blowing.

 Morning sky at 7:15 am

*     *     *     *     *

In order to clear the fridge, I was diligent in cooking lunch and dinner.

I roasted 2 chicken legs for lunch. 1 for hubby and 1 for me.

I used pounded ginger, garlic, black pepper, salt, honey, soy sauce to marinate the chicken legs for about 4 hours before roasting the legs in the oven.

 Chicken legs and some leftover dish for our lunch.

*     *     *     *     *

For dinner, we had the following dishes.

 Stewed pig's leg with dried mushrooms, sea cucumber, and napa cabbage. I used the lower half of the pig's leg and kept the upper meaty parts to cook another dish for another day.

 Rinse the remaining crystal vegetables with diluted salt water. I love to eat this dipped in Kewpie roasted sesame dressing.

My fig plant is fruiting again.

Very soon, I will have to wrap the figs to protect them from the birds.

But the godly shall flourish like palm trees

and grow tall as the cedars of Lebanon.

For they are transplanted into the Lord's own garden

and are under his personal care.

Even in old age they will still produce fruit and be vital and green.

This honors the Lord and exhibits his faithful care.

He is my shelter. There is nothing but goodness in him!

Roast Chicken Leg & Lotus Root Soup For Lunch, 4th Day CNY 2020

Today is Tuesday and also the 4th day of Chinese New Year 2020. Hubby and I don't know what to eat for breakfast. We ended up buying roast pork and steamed buns to share with a friend at our regular coffee shop.

 This is RM10 worth of roast pork, enough for 3 people.

 3 steamed buns for 3 people.

Both of us ordered unsweetened black coffee.

 After breakfast, I harvested the above snake long beans from my garden.

*     *     *     *     *

Elder son has gone back to work and younger son doesn't want any lunch.

So for 2 people, I prepared the following for today's lunch.

 Roasted chicken leg.

(marinated with oyster sauce, soy sauce, honey, salt, Chinese cooking wine)

 Lotus root soup

(boiled with peanuts, red dates, goji berries, carrot, pork ribs)

 I think I will need to roast it a little longer to get a nicer and darker colour.

 This is my lunch without rice.

I will not be cooking dinner because we have just received an invitation for dinner.
