Hong Kong Chee Cheong Fun, Braised Yee Mee & Assam Fish Curry

According to the sop, we are allowed to go out for outdoor activities from 7am onwards. We are not complaining but we do miss going out before the sky lights up before the lockdown.

Sunrise at 6:37am

Even though we are up early, we still have to wait and watch the clock. It is better to follow sop to avoid getting a fine.

6:40am

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

We bought Hong Kong chee cheong fun which is rice flour batter steamed with bbq pork and prawns and roast pork. The sauce was packed separately.

With the sauce and sambal paste added to the noodle.

Then add the crispy shallot and sesame.

Roast pork - RM10, next to the chee cheong fun stall.

Lunch

There is a new noodle stall in our area.

Hubby went to buy wat tan hor but was not available that day, so he ended up buying braised yee mee .

The extra sambal from breakfast pairs well with the braised yee mee.

Purplish black pear shaped eggplant or brinjal in my garden.

Eggplants are prone to pests especially the mealy bugs that stick to the underside of the leaves. To control them, I trim away the affected leaves.

That evening, I harvested 1 eggplant and 3 long beans to add to the curry dish.

Home cooked assam fish curry with mackerel (ikan kembung), pineapple, eggplant and long beans. The eggplant is nice and fleshy.

I pan fried the remaining luncheon meat with bacon (4 pieces).

Sauteed green vegetable with garlic and salt to taste.

Homely dinner for 2 people.

Found this pretty spider clinging onto a branch outside my house.

Can someone please help to identify this spider?

My ex-colleague and friend shared with me the following photos.

She doesn't know the name of the bird but she told me that it was a medium sized bird with white head. The snapshots were taken in May. The eggs have been hatched and the little birds have flew away leaving behind an empty nest.

Like a bird that fills her nest with young she has not hatched

and which will soon desert her and fly away,

so is the man who gets his wealth by unjust means.

Sooner or later he will lose his riches and

at the end of his life become a poor old fool.

A Busy Saturday With Some Interesting Critters

A friend's phone needed some re-setting but the shop in our area will be late opening for that particular day. We heard that there was a 2 days weekend special promotion in Aeon Falim and the staffs were stationed in Aeon Big. We had no choice but to visit Aeon Falim at about 9.50 am instead of waiting for the shop to be opened for business much later.

 Stalls all geared up for the weekend special.

 New cars on display

 Customer service 

 Christmas tree & cute critter in front of Tokyo Kitchen.

 We took a walk to check out the stalls. One stall had these cuttlefish.

 Another had smiley faces on their buns.

 Kids playing around this green dragon.

Since we were in Aeon Falim, same place as Aeon Big, we did some grocery shopping. After that, we left for our individual home and I prepared for home visitation in Kampung Kepayang. Reached home about 6.30 pm and had time to get ready for dinner and evening church.

We had dinner at Aneka Selera Restaurant Kam Wah. It had been a rather busy day and I need a booster to keep me awake in church. So I ordered a cup of black coffee.

 I saw mee jawa and mistakenly ordered a vegetarian mee jawa.

 We reached church early and I managed to take some snapshots of the decorations from where I was seated.

 The church was in the midst of a children's camp during the weekend.

 The theme of the camp is "Cave Quest".

 These were paper cuttings of bats flying.

Bats on the wall.

 I couldn't resist taking a shot of these colourful spiders on the wall behind me.

 Ah! I spotted one big spider climbing up the opposite wall!

 I quickly zoomed in for a closer shot just before the church celebration started.

 I took 2 more shots after the church celebration was over. The wall structure outside the church.

One more shot before it flew away.

Today, I had a nice collection of live and non live critters.

I hope you enjoy them all.

Run from anything that gives you the evil thoughts

that young men often have,

but stay close to anything that makes you want to do right.

Have faith and love, and enjoy the companionship of those

who love the Lord and have pure hearts.

(2 Timothy 2:22, The Living Bible-TLB)

Critters From Cameron Highlands.

While in Cameron Highlands, we came across some critters and I took some snapshots of them. I have waited to post them today to link to Saturday's Critter hosted by Eileeninmd.

The first 6 photos of critters were taken in Green View Garden.

2 pretty white feathered ducks.

If not for the fence, this duck would have gotten hold of my hand phone. 

 Rabbits - big and small, spotted and a black one.

More spotted and black rabbits.

 A tall ostrich sculpture.

 Can you see the little fly on the flower?

After our lunch at a restaurant, my friend who was seated opposite to me, pointed out this spider which was behind me.

 I have not seen anything like this spider before. This is the underside of the spider hanging on its web.

 This is the top side of the spider. It looks like the spiderman wearing a white top and a red bottom. It looks like it has 2 arms and 2 legs!

A close up shot of the spider. It could be a dangerous insect. 

As I was walking to the car parked in front of 2 shops away, I spotted another spider of the same kind. It looks like an alien spider to me.

 The Lord says: Be fair-minded. Do what is right!

Help those in need of justice! Quit your evil deeds!

Protect the rights of aliens and immigrants, orphans and widows;

stop murdering the innocent!
