Breakfast On A Gloomy Day

The ground was still wet from the early morning rain.

Low cloud covering the top of Kledang Hill - 7:10am.

Sunrise at 7:20am - as we were driving out to town for breakfast.

I took these photos from a moving car. Hubby was the driver.

We had breakfast at Kedai Kopi Keng Nam, which we haven't been to for a long time.

Hubby ordered dry curry noodle.

I ordered chee cheong fun or steamed rice noodle roll.

Half without filling and half with yam bean filling.

Curry gravy, chili sauce and pickled green chili.

When I am here, I couldn't resist ordering this steamed glutinous rice with kaya (coconut jam). The glutinous rice is "lemak" with "santan" or coconut milk.

Our drinks: Unsweetened black coffee for me and Chinese tea for hubby.

Linking to Skywatch Friday.

Don't do anything that will cause criticism against yourself

even though you know that what you do is right.

For, after all, the important thing for us as Christians is not

what we eat or drink but stirring up goodness

and peace and joy from the Holy Spirit.

(Romans 14:16-17, The Living Bible-TLB)

Lunch At Rajes Restaurant, Ipoh

Today is the last day of year 2020.

As we usher in the new year, here is wishing all my blogging friends and readers,

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021!

Last Sunday, we started off with a free breakfast. I received an early morning call informing us that breakfast was waiting for us at our regular coffee shop. After we have had our walk, we went to enjoy our breakfast.

Our friend bought us each a packet of steamed glutinous rice with diced pork. And she also bought some Chinese donuts for us.

First time having lunch at Rajes Restaurant at Jalan Tun Perak, Conally Road, Ipoh. A friend sent through Whatsapp some images of delicious looking food served in a restaurant. According to her hubby who has eaten there, the food is good. So, after a few days, hubby and I went there for lunch.

Picture on the wall.

The following are pictures are some of the cooked food on the counter top. There are so many delicious choices to choose from. So, let me and my camera feast on the food first before I decide on what to order.

Fried fish and chicken on trays lined with banana leaves.

Seafood curries - squid and crab curries.

Clay pot chicken curry @ RM12.

Mutton and chicken curries.

Different types of mutton curries.

Different types of curries, sambal and cutlets.

This is one of my favourite - chicken varuval.

Finally, we order white rice, chicken varuval, mutton kurma and cabbage to share. For drinks, we ordered a glass of iced lime juice and a glass of plain water. Total cost of lunch came to about RM20 plus.

No cooking for dinner because we were still feeling full from the lunch.

So, we had a late dinner with boiled sweet potato in sugar water (tong sui) which I boiled earlier in the morning.

And ate some of the above cheese bread given by our neighbour.

If you love your neighbor as much as you love yourself

you will not want to harm or cheat him, or kill him or steal from him.

And you won't sin with his wife or want what is his,

or do anything else the Ten Commandments say is wrong.

All ten are wrapped up in this one,

to love your neighbor as you love yourself.

(Romans 13:9, The Living Bible-TLB)

What We Eat For Breakfast

First, here are some snapshots I took one morning at the recreational park. One of the things I enjoy at the park besides walking is taking snapshots of sunrises and sunsets. I also check out if there is anything to buy from the temporary stalls such as vegetables, fruits, and whatever I need, all to my convenience.

6:45 am

6:50 am

7:05 am

7:15 am - This is my favourite snapshot.

In this post, I am sharing some of the food we eat for breakfast. These are just a few because there are many, many more choices out there. These food can also be eaten for lunch, dinner or in between according to individual's preference.

Curry noodle

Roti chapati (Indian flat bread) with spicy sambal.

Dim sum items.

Steamed glutinous rice with sweet grated coconut.

Beef soup on its own or with noodles.

Pan Mee or noodles either in soup or dry version.

Wonton noodle or noodle with dumplings with stewed pork ribs.

Last but not least, steamed flat rice noodle (chee cheong fun), with or without sauce.

One evening I found this little insect on the floor in my living room. I scooped it up with a piece of floor and flipped it out of the window to set it free.

This dog was ready to pose for my camera when suddenly it got distracted by an itch in its leg. It is a very friendly dog. Once it nudged me gently with its nose when I walked past.

Linking to Saturday's Critters.

But whoever catches a glimpse of the revealed counsel of God

- the free life! - even out of the corner of his eye, and sticks with it,

is no distracted scatterbrain but a man or woman of action.

That person will find delight and affirmation in the action.

(James 1:25, The Message-MSG)
