Lunch At Wong's Kopitiam, Ipoh

This was a Thursday. 

Sunrise at 6:55am.

Starting out on our morning walk - 6:55am.

Morning sky at 7:05am.

7:15am.

Someone recommended a new kopitiam to us, so hubby and I went to Wong's Kopitiam for lunch. We saw 4 men waiting outside and one of them told us that we will have to wait to be seated. 2 men didn't want to wait and they left. Since we were already there, we might as well wait. We needn't have to wait long, probably about 10 minutes.

Menu for rice or noodles.

Drinks and "tong sui".

I was looking forward to enjoy "bubur cha cha" but was told that it was not available that day. So disappointed.

We didn't order any of the above dessert because there were only 2 of us. While waiting for the food to be served, I took some snapshots from where I was seated.

Side wall.

Back wall. I was seated facing the back.

Behind me.

Floral enamel mug for holding cultery.

Since bubur cha cha was not available, I ordered sweet potato tong sui (sweet potato boiled in water with ginger and sugar added) - RM4.90

Hubby ordered iced lemon tea - RM4.90

Hubby ordered nasi lemak with fried chicken - RM12.90

Hubby enjoyed the nasi lemak and the fried chicken is nice too, not dry.

I didn't want rice, so I ordered fried beehoon with chicken curry - RM12.90

The fried beehoon looks plain but it was nice eaten with the sambal.

Thick and "lemak" chicken curry.

Total lunch = RM37.70

Wong's Kopitiam (opens from 9am to 5pm).

B-G-7, Jalan Dato Tahwil Azhar, Taman Jubilee.

That evening, we had a late dinner at Cheong Kee Wan Tan Mee in Buntong.

We ordered 2 plates of wan tan noodle (dry version).

Dry version is served with some pork strips.

When eating wan tan mee, the pickled green chili is a must have item.

Wan tan (minced pork dumplings) in clear soup (this is plus size).

The dumplings have been reduced to almost half of its former size.

Oh, do not hold us guilty for our former sins!

Let your tenderhearted mercies meet our needs,

for we are brought low to the dust.

Help us, God of our salvation!

Help us for the honor of your name.

Oh, save us and forgive our sins.

Roti Telur, Steamed Sweet Potatoes & Fried Tom Yam Beehoon

We were up early and were ready to start our morning walk but the clock showed that it was not yet 7am. 

Morning sky at 6:48am.

I used the time to sweep the dry leaves and flowers from my porch area.

After sweeping, I did some warming up exercise until 7am before we set out for our morning walk. We walked until 8am. That is the time when the eateries are allowed to start their business. Hubby stopped at one shop to order roti telur.

Simple breakfast for 2 retirees.

Roti telur (Indian flatbread with egg) with curry gravy and black coffee.

Toast with peanut jam and apricot jam and black coffee for me.

I wanted to finish the last 2 pieces of bread.

Red and purple bougainvillea from the same plant in a big pot from my garden.

We had steamed sweet potatoes for lunch.

~~~~~

Dinner

I fried tom yam noodle for dinner because I suddenly had a craving for it.

When the noodle was ready, I packed some for my neighbour. I had informed her earlier not to prepare dinner.

I have all the ingredients at hand: Ready made tom yam paste, pre-soaked rice vermicelli, carrot strips, pre-soaked dried shrimps, cut bird's eye chilies, cut onions, and thinly cut omelette strips as toppings and garnished with chopped spring onions. I alone can finish 2 big plates.

The LORD himself watches over you!

The LORD stands beside you as your protective shade.

The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon at night.

The LORD keeps you from all harm and watches over your life.

The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go,

both now and forever.

Sweet Potota Sweet Drink & Cucumber Salad

I have boiled sweet potato sweet drink or tong sui for a long time. I bought a few sweet potatoes from a road side stall on our way home from morning walk.

Only 4 items needed: Sweet potato peeled and cut into bite pieces, smashed old ginger, cane sugar and water. Boil sweet potato with ginger, pandan or screwpine leaves, and add cane sugar when the potato is soften.

We had sweet potato tong sui for lunch.

There was some leftover julienned cucumber which I prepared for the assam laksa. I also have cranberries and pine nuts in the fridge.

Toasted sesame dressing was added to make a delicious salad.

I saw this cute poster on a wall of a hotel in Malacca.

Pink Wishbone flowers growing wild in my garden.

Sometimes I see them, sometimes I don't.

Where there is ignorance of God, crime runs wild;

but what a wonderful thing

it is for a nation to know and keep his laws.

Simple Meals & Snack On Day #101 MCO

We were looking forward to our morning walk when we woke up yesterday morning but have to cancel it because we could hear the pitter patter of rain on the roof awning. So I ended up preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

 Hubby had 2 half boiled eggs, burger, Taiwan garlic sausages and Nescafe. I had oat porridge with pine nuts, walnut chunks, cranberry and Nescafe.

 A friend gave me a guava. I sliced and pickled it with salted plum or assam boi.

Home Cooked Dinner

 Stewed pork belly with red fermented bean curd (nam yue). 

 Steamed home grown white eggplants and snake long beans. Drizzled with olive oil, oyster and soy sauce and chili oil.

 A friend gave these sweet potatoes. So instead of oat porridge, I had steamed sweet potatoes. It may sound weird that I ate sweet potatoes with savoury dishes for dinner but I enjoyed it.

 Simple home cooked dinner for 2 people.

I was having breakfast with a friend one morning and my eyes caught something swimming in a big fish tank in the coffee shop.

Can someone identify this?

 When I went near to take a closer look, this water pet swam towards me.

Linking to Saturday's Critters.

Turn me away from wanting any other plan than yours.

Revive my heart toward you.
