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.

Home cooked dinner.

To clear the stock from the freezer, I will try to prepare home cooked lunch and dinner for both of us.

Steamed 2 slightly bigger than palm size Chinese pomfrets.

I have 2 more Chinese pomfrets in the freezer for the next meal.

Yam bean and carrot strips cooked with pork strips.

I bought the yam bean thinking I will be making pie tee shells for the new year but it was not to be.

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.

Dinner At Restoran Sam Can Cook Seafood

There was no rain for about a week now and the weather is getting hot.

Sunrise at 7:20am - halfway through our morning walk.

I don't feel like eating noodle, so I ordered a bowl of minced meat dumplings or wantons in clear soup @ RM5. 

~~~~~

For dinner, we went to Restoran Sam Can Cook Seafood. 

This restaurant has upgraded and have shifted to this new place at Laluan Perusahaan Menglembu 1, Kawasan Perusahaan Menglembu, Ipoh. We reached slightly after 6pm and the place was not croweded.

The parched ground will become a pool,

Where desert jackals lived, there will be reeds and rushers!

2 Dinners At Weng Fatt Restaurant, Pasir Pinji, Ipoh

This post is about 2 dinners we had 2 days in a row at Weng Fatt Restaurant in Pasir Pinji.

On the 1st day:

The first day started at about 6:40am.

Sunrise

6:45am

6:50am

I stopped to take some snapshots of this strange looking plant that we passed by on our morning walk.

Google Lens identified this plant as Flueggea Virosa.

The plant contains alkaloids but has medicinal value. It has small white berries. The matured fruit will fall off from the bush. The fruit is edible and is juicy and sweet but with a slightly bitter taste.

6:10pm - It was a rainy evening.

Dinner with friends at Weng Fatt Restaurant in Pasir Pinji, Ipoh.

Steamed Tilapia in lime sauce, very appetizing dish.

Deep fried tofu.

Fried chicken with pickled ginger cubes, another appetizing dish.

Total cost of dinner for 4 people = RM62.

~~~~~

On the 2nd day.

After morning walk, we went out to Ipoh town because I need to go to the bank and after that we had breakfast

I ordered the above continental breakfast consisting of spaghetti, chicken chop, 2 sausages and salad. Hubby ordered pork noodle (no photo to show).

I received the above gift from a friend.

A pack of Arabica Brown Rice Coffee with organic soy milk.

2 sachets inside the packet.

This is my first time tasting this coffee.

I quite like the taste.

Ingredients: Brown rice, non-GMO soy bean powder, Arabica coffee powder, and fructose.

On the 2nd day evening, we had dinner date with a friend. Since we enjoyed the dinner at Weng Fatt restaurant the previous evening, we don't mind going back to the same place as it is very near to this friend. When we ordered the food, it was still early and bright. But when the food came, it was getting dark and it was only then we found out the some parts of the restaurant had no power supply. We were sitting in a place where the fan was working but without lighting. I took these photo with flashlight mode.

Steamed Tilapia with savoury sauce.

Our friend found it a bit too spicy for her taste.

Since we enjoyed the fried chicken with pickled ginger, we ordered it again.

Plain stir fried Chinese kai lan with garlic.

This dinner for 3 people cost RM64.60.

Lighted candles were provided for some tables but since we were sitting under the fan, the candle light will be blown out. The power supply only returned when we were half way through our dinner.

This was a Friday.

Dinner with friends at Kopitiam Mun Soon, Taman Onn, Ipoh.

Venison slices with black pepper sauce.

Deep fried crispy skin tofu with crispy dried shrimp, garlic and soy sauce.

While we were about to finish our dinner, I quickly went out of the restaurant to capture this beautiful sunset.

I forgot where I saw this antique table clock.

Mixed Pork Porridge With Fried + Steamed Fish & Wonton Mee

There are times when we do not know what we want to eat for lunch. After a few suggestions, we finally settled for porridge at Restoran Kar Heng, Ipoh.

We ordered a plate of fried fresh water fish.

Our friends ordered this steamed fresh water fish.

Both the fried and steamed fish were very nice.

This is the mixed pork porridge (chu chap chook).

Took this pic of a yellow butterfly on a sunny morning.

We meet up with the same friends for dinner at Cheong Kee Wan Tan Mee in Buntong.

I usually order the dry version but this time, I wanted the soup version.
