Herbal Duck Wonton Noodle & Hand Torn Pan Mee

There has been no rain for the past week. Looks like the hot and humid days are back until the next monsoon season. Hopefully by end of this month or beginning of next month we will get some rain.

Sunrise at 7:20am.

This type of sun means the day will be hot.

My plants will be withering by midday.

Time to temporary hold back the sowing of seeds until the rain returns.

7:25am.

After morning walk, hubby and I drove out to buy breakfast. The coffee shop allows dine-in and the tables are well spaced out and some of the tables were along the 5 foot way. We decided to dine-in and choose one of the table along the 5 foot way.

Hubby ordered herbal duck wonton noodle.

We have been eating this noodle since my working days until now.

I ordered pan mee with hand torn noodle.

I enjoyed my breakfast very much.

Unsweetened black coffee for hubby.

Unsweetened coffee with evaporated milk (kopi-C) for me.

The coffee here is one of the best in town.

After leaving, I bought the above Nyonya kuih for our lunch.

Glutinous rice with kaya and glutinous rice with spicy dried shrimp.

Sunset Bells from my garden.

Our first dine-in dinner at a non air-con restaurant. The dishes available were limited and we ended choosing the following.

Sweet potato leaves with sambal dried shrimp paste.

Fragrant fried pork rib "foh yeem pai kuat".

Sweet sour black pomfret.

Nice and reasonably priced dinner that costs about RM46.20 for 4 people, including rice and hot water. We brought along our own Chinese tea.

Yes, everything else is worthless when compared

with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.

I have put aside all else,

counting it worth less than nothing,

in order that I can have Christ.

(Philippians 3:8, The Living Bible-TLB)

Thankful For The Food And Fruits Gifts

Since we can only start our morning walk at 7am, I tried to sleep and wake up later but it seems that my biological clock has been set and cannot be reset. To pass the time while waiting, I will read news and check messages on my hand phone. If it is still early, I will sweep the porch area and take snapshots of the morning sky.

Pink sunrise at 6:58am.

Sunrise partially hidden by dark cloud at 7:30am.

No more dark cloud at 7:33am.

Golden sunrise at 7:37am.

Starting of a warm day.

Breakfast at home.

A friend gave us 4 home made glutinous rice dumplings (bak chang). I took out 2 from the fridge to steam for breakfast.

These 2 were peanuts and red beans "chang" or vegetarian dumplings.

Very yummy dumplings.

We had Chinese tea with the dumplings.

Bigger than palm size hibiscus from my garden.

Received the above gifts from our neighbour.

4 cup cakes individually wrapped in plastic bag.

Ready cooked sweet sour black pomfret in plastic container, kept for dinner.

Ready cooked stewed preserved vegetable with pork belly in plastic container, kept for dinner.

Lunch

Cup cake with "tong sui"

I cooked sweet drink (tong sui) consisting of peach gum, dried longan, honey dates, red dates, goji berries, rock sugar and pandan leaves.

My portion of healthy snack to be eaten as I blog hopped.

Sweet Jackfruit from a friend's garden.

~~~~~

Later in the afternoon, a friend who was shopping for essentials stopped in front of my house on her way home to bless us with the following:

From left to right: 2 green guavas, 2 mangoes, 5 apples, and some Jackfruits. So thoughtful and generous of our friend. This is more than a week's supply of fruits for us.

Dinner

All I have to do was to heat up what my neighbour bought for us.

Sweet sour black pomfret.

Preserved vegetable (mui choy) with pork.

I just did a quick stir fry the beansprout and chives with garlic and salt to taste.

There was a little bit of this and that left behind. Not wanting to throw away food, the municipal trash bin (me) cleared up everything to avoid any leftover for the next day.

What happiness for those whose guilt has been forgiven!

What joys when sins are covered over!

What relief for those who have confessed their sins

and God has cleared their record.
