Buns & Bread And Sweet Sour Pig Trotter

There are mornings when the sky is just gray with no sign of sunrise in sight. Then I will be looking for some other interesting things to take snapshots. There is one newly renovated double storey corner house that we used to pass by.

The new owner has planted these decorative trees and grass on this raised up area.

Breakfast

We had steamed buns (from neighbour) for breakfast.

2 buns with bbq pork filling and 2 with chicken curry filling.

These 2 baked buns with bbq pork filling were for mid morning snack.

For lunch, we had Campbell's chicken soup and bun with garlic butter spread.

These corn on cobs were for afternoon snack.

I bought some century eggs and I remember I have pickled ginger in the fridge. Century egg drizzled with a bit of sesame oil is best eaten with pickled ginger.

Home cooked dinner.

Sweet, sour, and spicy pig trotter dish. 

Just this dish alone is enough to go with steamed rice.

Sunset at 7:15pm

This lovely sunset made up for the lack of sunrise.

There is one public pay phone booth still standing in front of the row of shop houses. On a closer look, one can see that it is no longer working because the receiver is missing. These days, hardly anyone would use a public pay phone. Almost everyone has a hand phone.

So get rid of all that is wrong in your life, both inside and outside,

and humbly be glad for the wonderful message we have received,

for it is able to save our souls as it takes hold of our hearts.

I know how great this makes you feel, even though

you have to put up with every kind of aggravtion in the meantime.

Pure gold put in the fire comes out of it proved pure;

genuine faith put through this suffering comes out proved genuine.

When Jesus wraps this all up, it's your faith, not your gold,

that God will have on display as evidence of his victory.

Wonton Noodles For Breakfast At Restoran Yin, Ipoh.

We noticed some time back that there is one newly opened restaurant named Restoran Yin which is opposite Pusat Makanan MXII, along Jalan Dato Tahwil Azhar, Ipoh. Last Tuesday, we wanted to eat Hakka noodle at Pusat Makanan MXII but found it closed. Since we were there, we decided to try the wonton noodles in Restoran Yin. 

 Both hubby and I ordered the same breakfast as above. We each had a plate of plain noodle and a bowl of small dumplings (wontons) plus 1 big dumpling (sui kow).

 We ordered a bowl of Sour Spicy Pig Trotter as a side order.
Can you see the layer of oil floating on top?

Herbal tea for me and black unsweetened coffee for hubby.

 Menu on the wall inside the restaurant.

 I was seated facing towards the kitchen. The place is neat and clean.

Back home, I did some gardening before the sun got too hot. I have found some seeds which I have forgotten to germinate and I hope the seeds can still grow. I hope they will grow so that I can document their growth and progress in my blog.

 Kailan Hong Kong - seeds to germinate.

 White eggplant seeds to germinate.

And these are cuttings of Purple Hearts to give to my friend. She also likes gardening.

Post this at all the intersections, dear friends:

Lead with your ears, follow up with your tongue,

and let anger straggle along in the rear.

God's righteousness doesn't grow from human anger.

So throw all spoiled virtue and cancerous evil in the garbage.

In simple humility, let our gardener, God,

landscape you with the Word,

making a salvation - garden of your life.

(James 1:19-21, The Message-MSG)

Dinner At Restoran Hao Hao, Menglembu.

This dinner was postponed twice before the 2 couples could come together for dinner. That evening, hubby and I went ahead to order the food, so that by the time our friends turned up, they need not have to wait long for the food to be served. Our friends were regular patrons of this restaurant.

The time was about 6.50 pm when we started from our house. The sky may not be stunning at this time but it was nice to watch the cloud formation when the sun is setting.

Since I live in a housing estate, I can't avoid the power cable getting into my photos.

One more shot before the sky light calls it a day.

We ordered a deep fried Threadfin fish (mah yau yu in Cantonese) with some soya sauce and oil added to the fried fish.

This was the day's special and everyone's favourite.

Sweet sour stewed pig's trotters with white radish.

Egg Omelette with bbq pork, onions and chives.

Stir fried lettuce with preserved bean curd.

Total cost of dinner inclusive of rice and Chinese tea

MYR 64.90 (approx. 15.46 USD)

Restoran Hao Hao, Jalan Kledang Timur 1, Menglembu, Ipoh.

It was not long afterwards that he rose into the sky 

and disappeared into a cloud, leaving them staring after him.

As they were straining their eyes for another glimpse,

suddenly two white-robed men were standing there among them,
and said,

"Men of Galilee, why are you standing here staring at the sky?

Jesus has gone away to heaven, and some day,

just as he went, he will return!"
