Steamed Minced Pork With Tung Choy

After morning walk and breakfast, we stopped to buy some pork ribs and minced pork to cook for dinner before walking home.

We passed by these little black birds perched on the power cables above us.

With the minced pork which I bought in the morning, I used it to steamed with tung choy.

French beans given by a friend.

These anchovies were fried to be kept for another day's porridge but ended up on the table as well.

These sweet meat were pan fried for snacking just like the yoke kon or bak kwa.

Sweet wine will drip from the mountains,

and the hills shall flow with milk.

Water will fill the dry streambeds of Judah,

and a fountain will burst forth from the

Temple of the Lord to water Acacia Valley.

Chicken Soup, Sambal Petai, Steamed Pork & Angled Luffa

This is another one of our shared and combined dinner with our friend that we had in my house. I prefer to cook because I need to use up the produce from my garden when they are fresh harvested. If kept in the fridge for too long, they lose their freshness and natural sweetness.

My friend wanted to contribute a pot of chicken soup. She bought a free range chicken to boil this delicious soup for 4 people.

Another time he asked,

"Who ever heard of someone lighting a lamp

and then covering it up to keep it from shining?

No, lamps are mounted in the open where they can be seen.

Pork Rib Wonton Noodle, Bak Chang & Simple Home Cooked Dinner

Our favourite wonton noodle stall was closed when the movement control order was implemented. On Sunday night just before we retired for the night, I mentioned to hubby that about this wonton noodle. So early next morning, we cancelled our morning walk and drove out to town for the wonton noodle.

Due to the need for social distancing, we had to queue for about 15 minutes to be seated. We were seated 3 people to a table. Hubby ordered herbal tea and I ordered barley drink. We both ordered wonton noodle with pork rib and pork dumplings plus sui kow.

Instead, he puts it on a lampstand to give light
