Seafood Tom Yam Noodle & Savoury Long Bean Rice

This was a public holiday. Started our morning walk late because we woke up late.

Morning sky at 7:15am.

7:20am

After morning walk, we stopped at Kedai Kopi Sin Choi Yuen for breakfast.

I ordered the above Seafood Tom Yam noodle (RM10).

Hubby ordered his usual fried noodle (RM6). No photo to show.

There were clams (lala), fish paste, 3 big prawns, tomato, green vegetable and rice vermicelli. An appetizing bowl of noodle to start off the day.

Walking home after breakfast at 8:10am.

Since it was a public holiday, our neighbours did some shopping and bought the following 2 items for us.

2 tubs of tofu fa.

One with ginger syrup and one with palm sugar.

And Chinese fruit rojak.

Very nice with lots of crushed peanuts.

Home cooked dinner.

Hubby went to visit his friend who recently had a knee surgery and the friend's wife gave him a bundle of home grown long beans.

I used two thirds of the long beans to cook steamed savoury rice.

Ingredients used: chopped garlic, diced shiitake mushroom, diced roast pork, diced cuttlefish, oyster sauce, soy sauce, black sauce, cooking oil, sesame oil, long beans and brown rice. I stir-fried the ingredients till fragrant before transferring to the above pot, add water and steamed till the rice is cooked.

Sambal belacan with lime juice as condiment.

It was a delicious dinner and I couldn't resist having 2 helpings of the rice.

There was enough leftover for the next day's lunch.

I tried to but I couldn't remember when I found this mural.

Hornbills painted on the sealed windows looks like framed paintings of hornbills.

Linking to Monday Mural.

Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so that

there will be food enough in my Temple;

if you do, I will open up the windows of heaven for you

and pour out a blessing so great you won't have room

enough to take it in! "Try it! Let me prove it to you!

(Malachi 3:10, The Living Bible-TLB)

Breakfast

So far this is one of the best Hor Hee Noodles we have tasted.

Restoran Meng Meng Kee, Menglembu.

One of our regular coffee shop has started to serve half boiled egg on toast. The half boiled eggs were a bit over cooked. The boss needs some time to get it right.

I managed to take a snapshot of a plane flying over our house.

A bird on the power cable next to our house. There were 2 birds, but 1 flew away before I took the snapshot.

Hubby and I shared the following lunch at Perak Stadium food court.

My favourite soybean pudding (tofu fa) with glutinous dumpling with black sesame paste.

Beef noodle.

Fruit rojak Chinese style.

On the way to the bank at about 2pm.

I saw and quickly took a snapshot of this black ant resting on the stigma of my yellow hibiscus flower.

Come to me and I will give you rest - all of you

who work so hard beneath a heavy yoke.

Wear my yoke - for it fits perfectly - and let me teach you;

for I am gentle and humble,

and you shall find rest for your souls;

for I give you only light burdens.

Chinese Rojak And Tofu Fa For Lunch

On Sunday morning (14th Sun under MCO), hubby woke me up at about 7 am. I looked at the clock and we still have time to go for a short walk before the online Sunday worship starts.

Morning sky at 7:10 am

Starting out on our walk.

We go this way facing the Kledang Hill and that is hubby with a backpack. He carries a backpack comes in handy in case we buy some fish or veggie from the roadside stalls.

Saw this black bird with white breast on a power cable.

It was making a lot of loud sound.

~~~~~

We went to our regular coffee shop to have a cup of unsweetened black coffee and some fried stuffed bean curd sheet. Our friend bought some green vegetable which was selling cheap in the wholesale market and gave us some. Hubby placed the vegetable in the backpack and we walked home.

On her way home, a friend dropped by to give me this preserved vegetables "dong choy" in a Chinese jar. So kind of her to remember me.

Lunch

Hubby went out to buy Chinese rojak (fruit salad).

And 2 tubs of soya bean curd or tofu fa with ginger sugar syrup.

Afternoon sky at 3 pm.

Puffy clouds before the evening rain.

He covers the sky with clouds; he supplies the earth with rain

and makes grass grow on the hills.

(Psalm 147:8, New International Version-NIV)

Tofu Fa, Mangoes, And Home Cooked Lotus Root Soup

We woke up about 6:50 am on Sunday morning (89th day MCO). We had enough time for morning walk and breakfast at our regular coffee shop. No photos of our breakfast. After breakfast we walked back home to prepare for online Sunday worship service. On the way home, I saw some pretty hibiscus flowers.

 Bright red hibiscus

 Pink hibiscus

 Morning sky at 8:25 am

My neighbour gave us a papaya and 2 tubs of soya bean curd (tofu fa) with palm sugar after her marketing trip. The papaya will need a few days to ripen.

 Hubby and I had the tofu fa for mid morning snack.

 Hubby bought assam laksa @ RM 4 from a roadside stall to try. I took a sip of the soup to taste. The soup was too watery and I prefer a more spicy version.

 Mid afternoon snack: Mangoes from my friend's garden.

~~~~~

Home cooked dinner

I boiled lotus root soup with pork bones, carrot, red dates and goji berries.

Sauteed cauliflower, home grown snake beans, prawns with garlic. I sprinkled some crispy dried prawn sambal to add extra flavour.

Dipping sauce: Bird's eye chilies in soy sauce.

 Satisfying dinner for 2 people.

My son, never forget the things I've taught you.

If you want a long and satisfying life, closely follow my instructions.

Never tire of loyalty and kindness. Hold these virtues tightly.

Write them deep within your heart.

(Proverbs 3:1-3, The Living Bible-TLB)
