Assorted Pastries, Hokkien Fried Fat Noodle & Steamed Pork Ribs

This is another day with gloomy sky. As long as it is drizzling, we can still go for our walk.

A glimpse of the sunrise at 7:30am.

On the way back, we made a detour to the nearby shops to buy the above items for breakfast.

Top row: 2 yam puffs and 1 curry puff, 3 items for RM5.

Bottow row: 2 siew pau and 1 egg tart, 3 items for RM5.

Fried flaky bbq pau and hum cheem peang.

The bbq pork filling of the fried flaky siew pau is nice but the skin is too thick.

Hubby bought this and he couldn't remember how much he paid for it.

For lunch, hubby went out to buy Hokkien fried fat noodle for us to share.

Home cooked dinner.

Steamed pork ribs with preserved black beans.

Blanched home grown Malabar Spinach, drizzled with garlic oil, oyster and soy sauce.

Our neighbour bought for us stewed fish head. To heat up for dinner, I steamed it and added in the leftover roast pork I had in the fridge. This was more for me because hubby is not a fan of fish head.

I kept aside half of the steamed pork rib for next day.

I saw this unusual white butterfly fluttering on the tarmac road on our morning walk.

The following photo and video credited to Aislynn.

This is a mango loving dog. My friend recently took in a stray dog and it surprised her to see this dog enjoying a ripe mango that had fallen from the tree in her garden.

My friend shared this short video of her adopted dog enjoying the mango.

So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves.

Instead, you received God's Spirit when he adopted you

as his own children. Now we call him, "Abba, Father."

Mix Pork Porridge With Fish & Prawns + Pineapple Curry

After we had finished our early morning walk, we bought 3 packets of fried rice vermicelli (Indian style) from the roadside stall. Then we walked to our regular coffee shop, gave 1 packet to our friend. We ordered our coffee and ate the fried vermicelli there.

We love the sweet and spicy sambal and we requested for extra sambal.

Walking home, I stopped to take a snapshot of this dark pink hibiscus by the roadside.

In my garden, I used plastic to wrap the figs. I chose plastic because it is easier to see when the figs are ripe for picking.

This is the only way I can think of to protect the figs from the birds.

Lunch with friends.

We wanted to introduce this porridge to our friend and her hubby. We went to pick them from their house and brought them to Restoran Kar Heng, Ipoh.

We ordered 4 bowls of mixed pork porridge minus the blood curd. They forgot and included the blood curd. We didn't make a fuss, just put them aside. We like the crispy fried intestine.

We ordered fried fish for sharing.

We also ordered stewed/steamed fish for sharing.

~~~~~

Home cooked dinner.

I decided to cooked prawns and pineapple curry using a ready made paste.

This time, I bought this A1 instant curry paste to try.

I love this appetizing prawns and pineapple curry.

That afternoon, I noticed that this yellow hibiscus had a faded yellow colour which is very unusual.

Can you see the moon?

The moon can still be seen in this pic.

Sunrise at 7:06 am.

Taken from where we were seated at the coffee shop.

Took this snapshot of the sun on the Kledang Hill on our walk home.

and the hills sing out their songs of joy before the Lord,

for he is coming to judge the world with perfect justice.

Pay Traffic Summon Followed By Lunch At Restoran Fu Lim.

Last week we came to know that we can pay outstanding traffic summons at a 50% discount from 29th to 31st January. I didn't think much about it because I thought I didn't have any summon that I haven't paid. I usually pay up whatever summons as soon as I received it through the registered mail.

A few days later, my friend and I were at the UTC to pay our bills. My friend wanted to check if she has any outstanding summon at the PDRM (police) stall. Since we were there, I too submit our cars' registration numbers to be checked. To our disappointment, we both have outstanding summons to pay. How come we didn't receive these summons through the registered mail? My friend and I decided to pay on the first day i.e. 29th January (Tuesday).

 Waiting for my friend to pick me up at 8.30 am.

We were given numbers 143 & 144. Seats, air coolers and free mineral water were provided for customers to sit comfortable under tents. While waiting for our numbers to be called, we made new friends with those sitting next to us.

Everything was going smoothly until the server system crashed at the headquarter level.

  We didn't know how long we have to wait. For those who have questions, they can approached the officers concerning issues with summons or any police issues. It was the police meeting with their clients special day.

  We were encouraged to check out the various stalls e.g. items on display, get some free medication and eyes checkups, etc.

 Instead of just sitting and waiting, we decided to take a walk to check out the stalls.

 I got interested in these. A giant bike and a dwarf bike.

 I have to wait for other interested onlookers to disperse before I could take these snapshots.

 After waiting for about an hour, the server system was finally working again. Good thing we waited and didn't go home or else we will have to return the next day. In no time, our summons were discounted and paid up.

We were looking forward to lunch because we didn't have any breakfast.

My friend's hubby joined us for lunch and he suggested Restoran Fu Lim.

 Flavourful soy sauce thinly sliced pork belly with garlic.

 Sweet potato leaves with sambal belacan (spicy prawn paste).

 Tilapia fish cooked in clay pot.

A delicious meal for 3 people.

Ability to give wise advice satisfies like a good meal!
