Rice Noodle In Soup, Rojak & Ginger Omelette

For the past few days, it was a mixture of sunny and rainy days. According to the weather forecast, there was a possibility of thunderstorm but there was none in our area.

Morning sky at 6:55am.

Looking at the sky, it might rain later in the day.

After morning walk, we drove out to town to buy breakfast.

Fried yong tau foo (stuffed bean curd sheet, stuffed bitter gourd and stuffed long beans) with fish paste.

3 pieces of crunchy fish crackers.

It was hubby's.

Lai fun (rice noodle) in clear soup with 2 pieces of fish cake, garnished with spring onion and sprinkling of sesame seeds.

This was mine, with a piece of stuffed white tofu.

Our breakfast.

Lunch

Hubby bought rojak (pasar malam version).

A friend asked me to help her buy this Lemon Honey Bentong Ginger. I was at the shop and was told that there was no stock.

The lady boss recommended this. According to my friend, the one with the yellow cap tastes better than the one with green cap. Hope it will be available on my next trip to the shop.

Home cooked dinner

Sometimes, I don't know what to cook. Since I need to clear the eggs from my fridge, I decided to cook omelette.

I ended up cooking julienned ginger omelette with sesame oil.

Blanched broccoli.

No more garlic oil, so I used the remaining sesame dressing.

This was our dinner with left over ABC soup and steamed rice.

whether or not it keeps its value, and what was really accomplished.

Upon reaching home from morning walk, I took out the 4 buns (neighbour gave) from the fridge to steam and made coffee at the same time.

There were 2 types of steamed buns.

2 lam yee pork buns.

Both types were very tasty.

Peanut Jam, Instant Noodle & Stewed Fish Head With Noodle

There are some days when I prefer to have a simple breakfast, something like toast with peanut jam and black coffee. Hubby prefers toast with coconut jam (kaya). Not convenient to go to the market to buy coconut milk (santan) because of the lockdown, so for the time being no home made coconut jam.

The small bottle of peanut jam that I bought is almost finished. I remember I had some peanut chunks in the fridge. I had better use it to make peanut jam while it is still fresh.

The peanut chunk is enough to make the above 2 containers. One for my neighbour and one for me. This time I reduced the amount of olive oil and honey, so it is a bit thick.

This green and yellow Coleus is doing well and seems to be very happy with the weather.

~~~~~

Lunch

Hubby was feeling hungry but lazy to go out to buy food. He ended up cooking a packet of Maggi Mee and added in 1 egg.

My neighbour came back from her weekly grocery shopping and blessed us with a comb of banana. Sometimes, these bananas have seeds.

~~~~~

Dinner

My neighbour ordered stewed fish head for us.

Hubby doesn't know how to enjoy fish head, plus he is not a big fan of fish so I ended up having the whole fish head to myself.

I cooked dried noodle to go with the fish head.

Then I tossed the noodle with the gravy from the stewed fish.

Fish head stewed with chopped ginger, fermented beans (taucu) and chilies. Fortunately, it was not a big fish head, so I had no problem finishing the whole thing. So what did hubby had for dinner?

It was a Friday and he happily went to buy the above. The peanut sauce was packed separately. It consists of fish balls, fried dumplings, fried prawn fritters, pig skin, blanched water spinach, fish cake and tofu.

This was after the sauce has been poured over the ingredients. I don't know what it is called, but hubby and I referred to it as Pasar Malam Rojak, something similar to the Mamak Rojak.

If you are wise, live a life of steady goodness

so that only good deeds will pour forth.

And if you don't brag about them,

then you will be truly wise!

Lockdown To Me Is Stay Home, Stay Safe & Grow Fat

I have decided not to step on the weighing scale because I know I wouldn't like to see what it will show me. I haven't been out for morning walk for more than a week and am too lazy to do indoor exercises. The only exercise I did is eating and more eating. I don't know about others but it looks like lockdown for me means stay home, stay safe and grow fat!

Breakfast bought from roadside stall.

Nasi lemak with fried egg (RM3) for hubby.

Economy fried rice vermicelli with sambal (RM2) for me.

~~~~~

Lunch

Hubby bought the above for his lunch, the sauce packed separately.

Looks yummy with the sauce.

I had some over ripe bananas so I used them to make banana pancakes for my lunch.

For dessert, we had Jackfruits.

~~~~~

Dinner

Sambal stinky beans with minced pork for hubby (his favourite).

Sambal anchovies (ikan bilis) for me.

We each had our own favourite dish.

Best eaten with steamed rice.

I took only a few spoonfuls of rice because I wanted to finish the bread later.

After an early dinner, I finished the last 2 pieces of bread with sambal anchovies for supper.

He personally carried the load of our sins in his own body

when he died on the cross so that we can be finished with sin

and live a good life from now on. For his wounds have healed ours!
