Steamed Chinese Pomfret Fish & Sengkuang Cooked With Pork Strips

On Sunday morning, I was bored with noodles so I told hubby I will walk over to the dim sum restaurant near my house to buy the following items back and brought them to our regular coffee shop.

#1 - Baked bbq bun for me.

#2 - Steamed bbq bun for me.

2 fishballs: 1 for me and 1 for hubby. 

Hubby bought a piece of Chinese cruller and Chinese fried doughnut for himself (no photo to show). We ordered unsweetened milo for me and Chinese tea for hubby.

When someone becomes a Christian,

he becomes a brand new person inside.

He is not the same anymore. A new life has begun!

All these new things are from God who brought us back to himself

through what Christ Jesus did.

And God has given us the privilege of urging everyone

to come into his favor and be reconciled to him.

Dine Out With Friends At Restoran Wong Sheng, Ipoh

Since we had food in the fridge, we returned home for breakfast after our morning walk.

Sunrise at 7am.

I put water to boil to make hot drink and re-steamed the buns given by our neighbour.

We also had vegetarian roll which I bought from a roadside stall.

It was our dine-out night with friends. If we don't have any new suggestion, then we go back to one our favourite eateries. So back to Restoran Wong Sheng in Desa Rishah, Ipoh.

Fried Tilapia fish with special savoury sauce.

This is one of their signature dish.

Steamed taro with pork belly.

This is also their signature dish, a hot selling item.

Assorted vegetable with salted egg yolk.

The crispy lotus root slices is our favourite item.

Food is good and price reasonable.

I think for our next visit, we must make a point to order other new dishes to try instead of these same dishes.

This was a lovely Sunday morning. 

I was just in time to capture the sun coming up from behind the hard cloud.

Dinner

Sometimes, I couldn't think of what to cook. Actually, I was thinking of yam with pork belly. The last time we had this was in April this year when we were able to dine-in with our friends. That was before the full lockdown.

I called up the restaurant to order 2 portions of yam with pork belly (about RM18 per portion). I gave 1 portion to our neighbour.

I only cooked the above dish: cabbage, carrot, 2 ladies fingers and spring onion from my garden.

The Lido cinema is no longer in operation but the building remains.

people may know there is none besides me.

I am the LORD, and there is no other.
