Sweet Sour Pork Rib & Poached Chinese Pomfret

Even though we woke up a bit late, we still got ready for morning walk.

Sunrise at 7:30am.

~~~~~

Lunch for 2 people.

Sweet sour pork rib.

2nd half portion of yam bean.

Instead of rice, we had thin yee mee noodle.

Pink Mexican petunias.

~~~~~

Dinner for 2 people.

Poached Chinese pomfrets.

The day before, I steamed the 2 pomfrets and hubby complained of the fishy smell. This time, I poached the pomfrets just like how I poached the chicken. All the fishy smell went into the water and this time, there was no complain from hubby. He did request for extra spring onions and ginger strips. Lol! so much garnishing until the pomfrets couldn't be seen.

For dinner, we had steamed brown rice.

For the time being, I wouldn't need to buy any meat.

So I am not writing to you as to those who need to know the truth,

but I warn you as those who can discern the difference

between true and false.

Lunch At Restoran Char Siew Yoong, Jalan Peel, Kuala Lumpur

This was the 3rd and last day in Semenyih. At about 11am, we drove out from Semenyih to Cheras. We have arranged to have lunch with elder son at Restoran Char Yoong, Jalan Peel.

We were ahead of the peak lunch hour so we were able to get a big table to accommodate 7 of us. By about 11:45am, customers have to wait to be seated.

We ordered 2 plates of their "melt-in-the mouth" char siew.

The "melt-in-the mouth" part is actually the fat part.

1 plate roast pork with crunchy skin.

Braised chicken feet.

This may seem gross to some but this is hubby's favourite dish. This used to be a cheap dish but now it is considered a delicacy to some people.

2 bowls of sweet sour mustard green aka choy keok.

This place is known for their "melt-in-the mouth" bbq pork or char siew.

Non-stop chopping of roast pork and bbq pork.

After lunch, we were taken to K.L. Sentral where we waited for our train.

We were early so we had some time to enjoy some coffee with our friends.

Thanks to our friends for their time and hospitability during our 3D2N stay with them. Some even took leave to spend time with us.

This was a wonderful and memorable time spent with our friends and our sons.

Our train departed from KL Sentral at 3pm sharp and we reached Ipoh at about 5:45pm. We had dinner at WK Claypot Chicken rice before going home. We didn't want to wait for the claypot rice so we ordered the ready cooked dishes and rice.

Sweet sour pork rib.

Chicken curry.

Sweet sour mustard green.

This is the 2nd time we had this dish but cooked differently.

I saw this antique phone at the lobby of a hotel in Penang that we stayed in.

A new Big Apple nursery & kindergarten in our area. Not sure if this is a new extension to the existing one which is behind this building.

Sweet Sour Pork Rib Wonton Noodle & Home Cooked Dinner

Before I start on my post, I want to share something with you. When we reached home after our morning walk this morning, I didn't notice anything amiss. It was only when I was harvesting the Green Amaranth from the small vegetable patch in front of my house, I noticed an empty space which was supposed to be occupied by a pot of blooming "Crown of Thorns".

Crown of Thorns

At first, I stared at that empty space for a while before I realized that my pot of "Crown of Thorns" was missing. Someone must have used a motorcycle or a car to cart it away because it was not a small or light pot which you can carry it with both hands and walk away with it.

I have read of cases of people stealing pots of plants from shop front or from their neighbours and it looks like this offence or habit of taking things that do not belong to them is becoming a new normal for some people.

Instead of being angry, I actually felt sorry for that person. If he or she has been caught in a CCTV camera by someone else, the video of the theft could have been shared on the social media. Okay, enough of this unfortunate incident that happened this morning. Now back to my post.............

Once in a while, we will drive out to town for our favourite wonton noodle at Restoran Memorable Good Taste, Jalan Theatre, Ipoh.

This restaurant is near to this Octagon Building in Ipoh new town.

To avoid being disappointed, we usually go early to make sure the food is not sold out.

This is a husband and wife team.

As usual, we ordered 2 sets of the above.

Each set consists of a small bowl of sweet sour pork rib,

A bowl of wonton (dumplings) and we added a sui kao dumpling.

And a plate of fine wonton noodle with beansprouts.

The lady boss is also very generous with the pickled green chilies.

Home cooked dinner.

I needed to clear some of the vegetables harvested from my garden.

Omelette with long beans and Chinese chives from my garden.

Home grown long green okras, blanched and served with crunchy chili oil.

Minced pork + fish paste patties, cut into small pieces.

Dinner for 2 people with plain brown porridge.

We couldn't finish the omelette, so I kept whatever was left for the next day lunch.

Pay all your debts except the debt of love for others -

never finish paying that!

For if you love them, you will be obeying all of God's laws,

fulfilling all his requirements.

(Romans 13:8, The Living Bible-TLB)

Sweet Sour Pork Rib Noodle & Drunken Prawn Noodle Soup

We started our morning walk a bit later than usual.

Morning sky at 7:13am.

It turned out to be another cloudy day.

On the reverse side, view of Kledang Hill at 7:14am.

We had breakfast at one of our regular coffee shop.

I ordered sweet sour pork rib noodle (pan mee). It came with a bowl of clear soup with some green vegetable.  It tasted delicious to me. Hubby tried but he doesn't like the texture of pan mee.

Generous portion of pork rib. I don't mind ordering this again.

~~~~~

What did I cook for dinner? Since I had frozen prawns in the fridge and lots of home made raisin wine, I cooked drunken prawns soup.

Ingredients used: 8 big prawns, lots of ginger strips, goji berries, red dates, home made raisin wine, prawns and eggs.

I soaked and cooked mung bean or transparent noodles (toong fun).

We each had a bowl of drunken prawn noodle with 4 big prawns and we finished drinking all the soup. After my dinner I was almost drunk with the wine. I could feel the warm spreading through my whole body.  A great dinner to have on a cool rainy evening.

The night is far gone,

the day of his return will soon be here.

So quit the evil deeds of darkness and

put on the armor of right living,

as we who live in the daylight should!

Be decent and true in everything you do so

that all can approve your behavior.

Don't spend your time in wild parties and getting drunk

or in adultery and lust or fighting or jealousy.

(Romans 13:12-13, The Living Bible-TLB)

Wonton Noodle With Swee Sour Pork Rib + Sui Kao

It was raining when we woke up. No morning walk, just waiting for the rain to slow down so that we can go out to buy breakfast. We haven't eaten our favourite wonton noodle for a long time because of the long queue. Since it was a wet, wet morning, the queue might not be long and waiting time will be shorter.

Driving out to town at 8:25am, still raining.

True enough, there were only 2 customers ahead of us.

We provided food carriers for the boss to pack everything separately.

We added 2 sui kao to the wontons.

There were 10 wontons for 2 portions.

Stewed sweet sour pork ribs (10 pieces for 2 portions).

Pickled green chilis (boss told his wife to give extra).

I love the extra thin wonton noodle.

One portion is not enough for hubby, so he ordered 1 + half portion.

This butterfly stopped fluttering long enough for me to take some snapshots.

I was standing under the angled luffa vines, so I have to aim my hand phone camera upwards.

It was slowly opening and closing its wings.

This is the best shot.

Hubby remembered that there was one last portion of stewed duck in the fridge. This one dish is enough for him. I only need to steam rice, made chive omelette and heated up the stewed duck.
