Butter Coffee + Toast, Fried Rice + Salted Egg Yolk Vegetables

This was in the last week of January. The sky was gloomy due to the rainy season.

7:14am, before we started on our morning walk.

After morning walk, we drove to Restoran Meng Meng Kee, Menglembu for breakfast.

We ordered unsweetened coffee (kopi-o kosong) and Chinese tea.

Ordered toast. Requested for butter and kaya to be served separately.

The reason: We wanted to use some of the butter to add to the coffee. Just a little bit, won't taste good if too much butter is added.

Hubby ordered hor hee with mung bean noodle.

I ordered 4 pieces of stuffed items without noodle.

~~~~~

For lunch, we went to Restoran Wong Sheng because we happened to be in the same vicinity.

We ordered fried rice (small portion) to share.

And salted egg yolk assorted vegetable to go with the fried rice.

~~~~~

Since we had a late lunch, we had a simple late dinner.

I cooked some instant noodle and mixed it with the chili oil which my friend gave me. Plain but yummy.

The person who has been born into God's family does not make

a practice of sinning because now God's life is in him;

so he can't keep on sinning, for this new life has been

born into him and controls him - he has been born again.

Fried Chicken Wings, Fried Prawns, Steamed Egg With Minced Pork

As we were driving out to the coffee shop, I saw this .....

The sun rising from behind the moutain at 7:48am.

Hubby had to slow down for me and this is the best shot I got.

Breakfast

I ordered wonton noodle with bbq pork and minced meat dumplings.

I also ordered coffee which I shared with hubby.

Hubby ordered shredded chicken noodle (kai si hor fun). The boss was in good mood and he topped the noodle witth some dried scallop. Hubby ordered a glass of Chinese tea which we shared.

~~~~~

Lunch for 3 people: Just me and my 2 sons.

Hubby had a small lunch gathering with his old coursemates in Bercham.

Deep fried pre-marinated chicken wings.

Sauteed Chinese kai lan with garlic and salt.

Just 2 dishes plus some leftover which we need to clear from the fridge.

~~~~~

Afternoon snack.

Steamed glutinous rice cake with grated coconut.

Elder son haven't eaten this for a long time so I went out to buy some grated coconut from the Buntong wet market which is a short drive from my house.

I added a pinch of salt to the grated coconut.

Scooped out the steamed sticky glutinous rice into small balls and rolled with grated coconut.

~~~~~

Dinner for 4 people.

Deep fried prawns coated with oyster and soy sauce.

Ingredient for sauce: oyster and soy sauce, sugar and salt to taste, and cooking wine.

Salted egg yolk beans and carrot strips.

This is my first try and I will need to try again.

It didn't turn out as expected but the taste was quite good.

Steamed eggs with minced pork, drizzled with garlic oil.

I haven't prepared this dish for a long, long time.

Three dishes plus some leftover chicken wings from lunch.

Doggie photos for Saturday's Critters.

Saw this dog taking a walk in front of my house.

He met up with another dog coming from the opposite direction.

I don't know what they said to each other in their doggie language.

There was no barking or baring of teeth at each other.

Then they parted and went their own ways.

Linking to Saturday's Critters.

A person may think their own ways are right,

but the LORD weighs the heart.

To do what is right and just is more

acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.

(Proverbs 21:2-3, The Living Bible-TLB)

Deep Fried Tilapia With Appetizing Sauce & Braised Pork Leg

This was last Friday morning. It was a nice and dry morning so we can have our morning walk. 

The rain has now shifted from morning to late afternoon or evening.

When there is no rain, the day will be hot and sweaty.

We stopped at a roadside stall to buy this economy fried vermicelli with spicy sambal for me and a packet of nasi lemak for hubby.

Next, we walked to our regular coffee shop for their signature coffee. We ordered a glass of iced coffee-C and a glass of Chinese tea to share.

For lunch, hubby bought 5 pieces of deep fried nian gao (glutinous sticky rice cake) from Bercham.

This is our favourite snack.

 Look at the soft, gluey sticky glutinous rice sandwiched between the taro slice (top) and the orange colour sweet potato (bottom).

~~~~~

To avoid being caught in the evening rain, we reached Restaurant Wong Sheng early for dinner. Halfway through our dinner, it rained heavily. We took our time to enjoy our dinner and waited for a short while for the rain to stop before we got into the car.

One of our favourite dish to order:

Deep fried tilapia with special appetizing spicy sauce - RM32.

Another of our favourite:

Deep fried lotus root slices, baby French beans and carrot coated with salted egg yolk paste - RM16.

We came to know of this new dish: Flavourful braised pork leg - RM50.

Total cost of dinner for 4 people = RM104.

(inclusive of 4 rice, small portion and hot water)

With respect to your former lifestyle,

you are to lay aside the old self corrupted by its deceitful desires,

be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

and put on the new self - created to be like God

in true righteousness and holiness.
