Home Cooked Drunken Lala Or Clams Soup & Salted Chicken Egg

Yesterday morning, we began our morning walk at about 6:10 am. As we were almost reaching the shops behind our house, it began to drizzle. We started to quicken our walk but it began to rain. We have no choice but to run to the shops. We got a bit wet but not drench with the rain.

Passing by this corner coffee shop, I spotted this electric scooter. I have seen this scooter a few times but this is the first time I took a snapshot of it.

~~~~~

We walked to our regular coffee shop for breakfast and at the same time to wait out the rain. We only ordered 2 cups of coffee because our friend gave us 2 buns the moment we sat down at the table. When the rain slowed down, we walked home. We were offered umbrella but we declined. It has been along time since I last walked in the rain. I used to walk in the rain when I was in my teenage years. We took warm bath once we reached home.

Lunch for hubby.

I cooked instant noodle with some clams (lala), green veggie (choy sum), ginger strips and sesame oil. I bought 1 kg of clams (lala) for RM 10. A friend blessed me with some green veggie (choy sum).

A spoonful of spicy chili oil to go with the noodle.

A friend gave us 4 freshly baked buns which she bought from the nearby bakery shop. I ate 2 of these soft and fluffy buns with pineapple jam for my lunch.

Mid afternoon: Sweet papaya from my neighbour.

~~~~~

Dinner

With the clams (lala), I cooked drunken lala with clouds ear fungus, dried lily buds, pork belly slices, ginger strips, bird's eye chilies, and Chinese cooking wine.

I sent this portion of clam soup to our friend at the coffee shop.

Update on my home made salted chicken egg at 35 days.

At 35 days, the yolk of the salted egg became more grainy and has more oil. Thumbs up from hubby.

We enjoyed our dinner with the salted egg and hubby's favourite drunken clam soup.

it is to be able to say the right thing at the right time!

Home Made 30 Days Salted Chicken Eggs Turned Out Beautifully

Yesterday (87th day MCO), after our morning walk, we  walked to the pork seller to collect the pork belly and pork ribs that we have ordered the day before and then continued our walk back home.

Instead of hubby going out to buy breakfast, I cooked breakfast for both of us. 

 I cooked 2 half boiled eggs, pan fried 1 beef burger, 4 black pepper sausages and a bowl of oat porridge. 

 For me: a bowl of oat porridge and 1 sausage cut into small pieces.

For hubby: 2 half boiled eggs, beef burger and 3 sausages.

  I had Nescafe with powdered milk and hubby had his with condensed milk.

Lunch

I like the Nasi Briyani from the nearby food court and it is only sold on Fridays. Hubby and I walked to the food court but found that the Nasi Briyani was sold out.

We ended up ordering a plate of white rice, a sweet spicy chicken drumstick, some mutton curry and cabbage. Hubby and I shared this plate for lunch at the food court. We had to write down our temperature, names and contact numbers in compliance with the MCO SOP for eateries.

Sweet drink or "tong sui".

I used 3 large home grown aloe vera leaves, dried figs, dried longan, pandan leaves and cane sugar. I boiled the sugar, dried figs, dried longan and pandan leaves in water until the dried figs softened. Then I added the cut aloe vera (without the skin) and let it boiled for about a minute and then off the fire.

  This sweet drink tastes better when chilled. I have some plain agar-agar in the fridge. I cut the agar-agar into small pieces and added to the sweet drink. This sweet drink is refreshing and delicious when chilled especially for warm days.

Home Made Salted Chicken Eggs

This is an update of my home made salted chicken eggs which you can click here to read. After having waited patiently for 30 days, I took out one of the salted eggs to cook in boiling water to check if it is well salted.

This is the result of 30 days salted chicken eggs. It is not too salty and the deep orange yolk was with oil and beautiful. I removed the eggs except for 2 eggs from the salt water. I will leave 1 egg to salt for 35 days and another egg to salt for 40 days to compare the results. I will update on the results.

Simple home cooked dinner

 Home cooked soup (corn, carrot, goji berries and chicken keel), sambal snake beans, home made salted egg and steamed rice. 

 Snake beans cooked with minced pork, and spicy dried prawns sambal.

 This soup has the natural sweetness of all the natural ingredients used to boil the soup.

 On one of our morning walks, I spotted this cat on top of a concrete fence. I zoomed in to get a closer picture of the cat with a bushy tail. It looks like a male cat to me.

Look! It was staring back at me! It doesn't look happy.

"Hey! Why are you pointing your camera at me?"

Linking to Saturday's Critters.

Here is my description of a truly happy land where Jehovah is God:

Sons vigorous and tall as growing plants.

Daughters of graceful beauty like the pillars of a palace wall.

Barns full to the brim with crops of every kind.

Sheep by the thousands out in our fields.

Oxen loaded down with produce.

No enemy attacking the walls, but peace everywhere.

No crime in our streets.

Yes, happy are those whose God is Jehovah.

(Psalm 144:P12-15, The Living Bible-TLB)
