Morning sky at 6:50am.

On the reverse side, Kledang Hill at 6:55am.

~~~~~

Dine-out dinner at New Weng Fatt Cafe & Restaurant, Ipoh Garden South.

Hubby ordered Gopeng mee (thin wan ton mee) with stewed pork rib.

He also ordered 2 sui kao (dumplings).

These 2 were extra big dumplings with lots of filling.

I will be ordering this on my next visit.

I ordered chapati with sardine. It was my mistake, I prefer sambal sardine.

Hubby ordered 10 skewers of satay. (10 chicken & 5 beef).

Dipping peanut sauce.

This doesn't taste like peanut sauce but some other type of nuts.

Whatever it is, it doesn't matter as long as it is tasty.

The good people taste your goodness,

The whole people taste your health,

The true people taste your truth,

The bad ones can't figure you out.

You take the side of the down-and-out,

But the stuck-up you take down a notch.

(Psalm 18:25-27, The Message-MSG)

Crab Glass Noodle, Tom Yam Soup & Thai Chicken Feet Salad

After morning walk, we stopped at one of our regular coffee shop for breakfast.

Our favourite shredded chicken noodle (kai si hor fun).

Can you see the bits of dried scallops used for boiling the soup?

While having breakfast, 4 Common Myna birds were playing or fighting on the road. They were making a lot of noise.

~~~~~

I had lunch with 2 sisters at 

Different Taste, #72, Persiaran Bercham Selatan 2, Bercham.

My sister was looking forward to enjoy the above: Crab with glass noodle. The cook weighed a crab and informed us the price: RM99. So the above dish cost RM99 (approx. 22usd). I should have push the glass noodle aside to take a good snapshot of the size of the crab.

Next, we ordered Thai chicken feet salad @ RM16.

Grouper fish chunks in clear Tom Yam soup @ RM45.

Total cost of lunch: RM161.50. The lady boss waived the 50 cents.

Thanks to my sis for this delicious treat.

No home cooked dinner for us.

Hubby bought 20 skewers of chicken satay (grilled chicken on skewers) from a nearby kampung. The satay costs 0.70 cents per skewers.

The seller is generous with the peanut sauce. There is some leftover sauce which I kept in the fridge to dip with our home grown cucumbers.

Hubby bought some boiled compressed rice (nasi impit), The cucumber and onions are given free.

Dinner for 2 @ RM14 (approx 3usd)

Cockscomb flower from self-propagation. It was found sharing a pot with a yellow Croton plant in front of my house.

And these men of faith, though they trusted God and

won his approval, none of them received all

that God had promised them; for God wanted them to wait and

share the even better rewards that were prepared for us.

(Hebrews 11:39-40, The Living Bible-TLB)

Since we were nearby, we drove to Willy Satay after dinner.

My son ordered 30 skewers of satay (10 each of chicken, mutton & beef) only because we had just eaten dinner. I tried 1 skewer of each type of meat.

Peanut sauce for dipping.

Here ends our 2nd day in Semenyih.

I found this marine life mural on the wall of a school in Tanjung Tualang.

Linking to Monday Mural.

Then God said, "Let the waters teem with fish and other life,

and let the skies be filled with birds of every kind."

So God created great sea animals,

and every sort of fish and every kind of bird.

And God looked at them with pleasure, and blessed them all.

"Multiply and stock the oceans," he told them,

and to the birds he said, "Let your numbers increase.

Fill the earth!" That ended the fifth day.

(Genesis 1:20-23, The Living Bible-TLB)

Happy New Year 2021 to all!

It was New Year Eve, the last day of year 2020 and to us, it was just like any other ordinary day. As usual, we got up for our early morning walk.

Can you see the silver lining on the clouds?

We went to a nearby supermarket to buy some essential and bought the above 3 Susu Mangoes for RM5.90.

Ayam satay (chicken satay with peanut sauce).

The chicken meat is cooked just nice, not overcooked.

Surely you will hear their cries and

comfort their hearts by helping them.
