Those who love curry that is creamy or lemak with coconut milk, you will love this curry noodle.

I requested for extra add ons. Ingredients in the curry noodle: bbq pork, roast pork, chicken, long beans and pig skin.

Fragrant Gardenia from my garden.

Linking to Happy Tuesday, Image-in-ing & Tuesday's Treasures.

Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything;

tell God your needs, and don't forget to thank him for his answers.

If you do this, you will experience God's peace,

which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand.

His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet

and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus.

(Philippians 4:6-7, The Living Bible-TLB)

Pork Noodle & Pan Mee, Taro Rice & Broccoli

For the past few weeks, the sky has been mostly overcast and gray. 

Break of dawn at 6:56am

Just before we start our morning walk.

Passing by this leafless tree at 7:15am with birds singing above us.

Sunrise at 7:26am.

~~~~~

We detoured to the nearby shop (one of our regulars) for breakfast.

Hubby ordered mixed pork noodles consisting of minced pork, meat balls, pork liver, and etc.

I ordered hand torn pan mee.

We went to visit my father-in-law's grave a day after All Souls Day in Tambun. On the way back I took this snapshot of the Deepavali decoration when we stopped at the traffic light.

~~~~~

Home cooked dinner.

I cooked taro rice using brown rice, diced taro, chopped shittake mushroom, chicken breast meat, dried shrimps, garlic and onions. I divided the rice into 3 portions. I gave 1 portion to my neighbour, 1 portion for dinner and last portion for next day dinner.

Blanched 1 head broccoli, drizzled with garlic oil, oyster and soy sauce.

Dear children, keep away from anything

Amen. Sincerely, John.

Bak Kut Teh Brunch, Johor Premium Outlets & Desserts

As usual, I don't sleep well when away from home especially on the first night. So, it is normal that I was up very early the next morning. Surprisingly, I was not the only one. The 3 of us decided to go for our early morning walk. 

Mural on the wall.

It was a nice leisure walk in the cool morning. We walked almost 3 km and by then, we are ready for a hearty breakfast or brunch.

~~~~~

At Kedai Bak Kut Teh Hin Hock, we had the following for brunch.

Steamed fish with generous topping of crispy friend garlic.

Herbal Pork Soup (bak kut teh) served with crispy fried bean curd sheets.

Moved the bean curd sheets aside to reveal the hidden treasures.

Green veggie (bok choy) blanched.

Stewed pig's leg in clay pot.

Some had white rice and some had taro rice.

Breakfast cum lunch (brunch) to last us till dinner.

~~~~~

After brunch, we made our way to Johor Premium outlets with the help of Waze.

Johor Premium Outlets.

After this, we will be looking forward to the opening of the Premium Outlets in Perak, hopefully in the near future.

~~~~~

Again, we relied on Waze to take us to Joo Yee (Tan Kee Pelangi) for dessert. We misjudged and took 2 wrong turnings before we reached the destination.

We ordered 2 bowls of ginkgo sweet drink.

A bowl of red beans with chocolate topping which we can't find in Ipoh.

Rojak (fruit salad with peanut sauce).

Thanks to Waze, we were able to make our way around without getting lost.

~~~~~

Back home....

I took snapshots of the above rooster on one of our morning walk.

This rooster seemed to enjoy posing for my camera.

Linking to Saturday's Critters.

There are three things that walk with stately stride - no,

four that strut about: the lion, king od animals,

who won't turn aside for anything, the strutting rooster,

the male goat, a king as he leads his army.

(Proverbs 30:29-31, New Living Translation-NLT)

Home Made Coconut Egg Jam (Kaya) & Home Cooked Yam Rice

We were having breakfast at our regular coffee shop few days ago and our friend gave me 2 taros (yam). She said I can do whatever I want with the yam. I kept the 2 taros in my fridge and I will be using one of them to cook yam rice for dinner.

I stopped in between watering my plants in my garden to take some snapshots.

Ixora buds.

Watering for the buds to turn to tiny flowers.

Pink Wishbone flowers in my garden.

Long okras or ladies fingers harvested from my garden.

Home made kaya (coconut egg jam).

Out of the blue, I had the mood to make kaya. I like kaya of this texture as well as the smooth type.

~~~~~

Home cooked dinner.

I cooked yam rice and sent some over to the friend who gave me the yam or taro.

I warmed up the leftover home made bbq pork.

Sambal dried prawns from Penang.

Great condiment to eat with the yam rice.

Very satisfying home cooked dinner.

The Lord lifts the fallen and those bent beneath their loads.

The eyes of all mankind look up to you for help;

you give them their food as they need it.

You constantly satisfy the hunger

and thirst of every living things.

(Psalm 145:14-16, The Living Bible-TLB)

Lunch At Restoran J.J. Fatt, Lawan Kuda, Gopeng

I woke up at about 2 am in the morning. Went to the washroom and then went back to sleep. Woke up again at about 3:30 am and was wide awake. Switched on the computer, read the emails and prepared the day's blog post.

Hubby got up at about 5:45 am and by 6:10 am, we started out on our early morning walk. We walked to the park, did 2 rounds of walking at the park, and then we walked to our regular coffee shop. We had our cup of coffee, chit chatted with our friend and then walked back home.

 Reached home at about 7:30 am.

~~~~~

Breakfast at home

I warmed up the remaining yam rice from the previous day's dinner.

 The yam rice tasted just as good as the previous day.

 I added lime juice to the sambal belacan.

Yam rice + sambal belacan = super delicious breakfast.

 These colourful blooms are from the same hibiscus bougainvillea plant.

 Cloudy sky at 9:05 am

~~~~~

Lunch with friends at Restoran J.J. Fatt, Lawan Kuda, Gopeng.

This is our first lunch outside of Ipoh since MCO was implemented.

 Stir fried paku pakis (fern) with sambal belacan.

 Fish slices (san yu or snakehead fish) with ginger slices and spring onions.

 After the meaty part has been removed, the rest of the fish used for boiling soup with wine added.

 Fresh oyster and egg omelette.

We ordered 1 plate of white rice to be shared by 2 people.

No rice for me and another friend.

~~~~~

After lunch, we drove over to Kedai Kopi Gemuk in Kopisan, a short distance from where we had lunch.

 2 cups of unsweetened coffee, 2 glasses of chilled barley + lemon drink and steamed glutinous rice with kaya (coconut jam).

~~~~~

After lunch, we went shopping at Parkson, Ipoh Parade. When we reached home, I was tired and sleepy. Took a nap till about 7 pm. Woke up to prepare dinner.

The day before, a friend gave us 2 garlic bread and

 a roast chicken (ayam golek Mak Kiah)

 The garlic bread smelled so good even after being in the fridge.

 I couldn't resist. Took a piece to eat.

Cream was applied in between the cut bread. 

 The chicken was cut into 2 parts before re-heating in the oven.

Hubby and I ate the 2 chicken legs and 2 wings.

The rest of the chicken meat was shredded and kept in the fridge for future use.

Linking to Friday Bliss & Skywatch Friday.

We are all parts of one body, we have the same Spirit,

and we have all been called to the same glorious future.

For us there is only one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

and we all have the same God and Father who is over us all

and in us all, and living through every part of us.
