Dinner At Restoran Chuen Kah Fook, Ipoh

On the same day as we had our lunch treat here at Sun Hung Ting Restaurant, we had our dinner at Restoran Chuen Kah Fook in the same vicinity with 4 other friends.

Evening sky at 5:53pm

I took a snapshot of the evening sky on the way to the restaurant. It looks like the world map.

~~~~~

We ordered the following dishes for 6 people.

Stewed pork leg with white radish (daikon).

We had the same dish for lunch. The one we had for lunch was more flavourful.

Vegetarian dish consisting of tofu puff, broccoli, shiitake mushroom, cabbage, baby corn, glass noodle, etc. I think they put in too much cornstarch slurry.

Taro with pumpkin dish. This is our favourite dish.

Stingray assam curry.

Good for those who can't take spicy food, too mild for us.

Total cost of dinner for 6 people - RM124

(incl. 6 small rice & Chinese tea).

Stewed Pork Leg & Home Grown Vegetables With Sambal Shrimps

This was last Sunday. 

Morning sky at 7:10am.

It was a lazy Sunday for us.

~~~~~

I only need to cook 1 dish for our dinner....

because our neighbour bought this ready cooked stewed pork leg dish for us.

So I used home grown white bitter gourds, long green okra and green brinjals (eggplants) to cook with sambal dried shrimps.

Chopped raw garlic and bird's eye chilies was given as condiment for the stewed pork leg. This was our simple dinner with steamed brown rice.

Evening sky at 7:10pm.

Can you see the silver lining around the cloud?

Thanks to my friend for sharing this video with me.

Video credited to my friend, Maguerita.

My friend took a video of this critter that she found in her garden.

Don't know how this critter was found on its back and was trying hard to get back on its many legs. Looks like it was doing some abs strengthening exercise. Can someone please help to identify this critter? Thank you.
