Dinner For Six At Seafood Recipe, Ipoh.

After a hot spell, it rained this afternoon and it did help to lower the temperature. It also help to soften the ground to make it easier for me to do some weeding in the garden.

So you see, it isn't enough just to have faith.

You must also do good to prove that you have it.

Faith that doesn't show itself by good works is no faith at all

- it is dead and useless.

 Thanks to my friends, I have the opportunity to enjoy these Petunia blooms.

Out of 4 pots of Petunia plants, this is the only surviving plant. The plants have been with me for about 5 months and I am happy that this plant continues to thrives and blooms beautifully.

On that day the LORD their God will rescue his people,

just as a shepherd rescues his sheep.

They will sparkle in his land like jewels in a crown.

How wonderful and beautiful they will be!

The young men will thrive on abundant grain,

and the young women will flourish on new wine.

Dinner At Pusat Makanan Sun Place, Menglembu

Hubby and I went to visit our friends at their factory and invited them out for lunch. Our friends recommended curry noodles from one of the stalls at the Sun Place. This was about a month ago.

This bowl of curry noodles was really good. Since tasting this curry noodle, I have been thinking of going back for more. Looking at this makes me crave for it!

Pusat Makanan Sun Place or Sun Place Food Court was formerly named The Big Fan and the locals still refer to it as Big Fan. There are only 2 giant ceiling fans for the whole food court. I did an earlier post on this place mentioning about the big fan here but didn't post up any photo of it.

Two weeks later we were invited for dinner by the same friends to the same place.

 It was about 7 pm when I took this picture of the evening sky and the leafless tree.

 It was still bright enough to play football in the field.

The flats are across the road.

 This is the best capture of the big fan with my mobile phone camera.

 This is the first time I tried a video.

I hope you will be able to see the big fan clearly.
Shown below were the dishes we had for dinner.

My friend ordered Deep Fried Tilapia Fish Thai style (with Thai chili sauce).

Sweet Sour Pork (ku lo yuk)

Stir Fried Sweet Potato Leaves. 

Black Vinegar Pig Trotter - their signature dish.

A confinement dish for Malaysian Chinese women after baby's birth.

Dinner On 5th Day Of Chinese New Year 2015 At Restoran Yan Ming, First Garden, Ipoh

Since the eve of Chinese New Year 2015, I have been doing a lot of cooking for my own family. My eldest son has already left for the city after lunch to avoid any massive traffic jam. My younger son decided to delay his journey till late night.

My plan for dinner was to just warm up all the left over food, after all there were only 3 of us and I was really tired of cooking. But the 2 men in the house decided to eat out. I was delighted and quickly agreed with their decision because frankly, my lazy bones have taken hold of me.

We went to Restoran Yan Ming which has just reopened for business. Business was good and the tables in the restaurant were all taken. We were seated under the tent which was put up outside, in front of the restaurant. We waited and waited and my son commented that maybe they have forgotten about us.

After about 10 minutes later, a waitress came and placed this dish on our table. Finally, our food has arrived! This time, mama blogger remembered and quickly took a picture of the dish. Suddenly, it dawned on mama blogger that we didn't ordered this dish.

Sweet Sour Pork (Koh Loh Yoke)

The lady boss and a waitress quickly came to our table to apologize for their mistake and took the dish away. It was a good thing only my camera fed on it. Immediately after this, our food started to arrived on our table.

Silky, smooth steamed egg (mixture of 3 types of eggs - normal chicken egg, salted egg and black preserved century egg). This was cooked just right. Thumbs up for this dish.

Crispy skin tofu with chopped preserved raddish.

First time tasted this dish and we all like it.

Steamed Red Tilapia Fish in clay pot.
This is the second time we had tasted this dish.

Braised Pork Belly (Tong Po Yoke) - tasted good but on the fat side.
Dinner for 3 people costs MYR 66.80 (approx. 18.42 USD)

But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock.
The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering.
