Stuffed Fish, Pickled Fruit, Turmeric Rice & Black Chicken Herbal Soup

A morning without any sign of sunrise. We started our walk at about 7am.

Facing west, the Kledang Hill.

Gloomy sky.

Chinese art mural on the concrete wall of a Chinese school.

I sought my neighbour's help with the Chinese character.

The Chinese character means Sincere.

This one means filial.

On the way back, we stopped to buy fried noodle and pig's skin+long bean curry.

Economy fried noodle + curry + milo for hubby.

I picked and ate the long beans in the curry.

Toast + apricot jam + black coffee for me.

Midday sky at 12:50pm.

A friend came to pass me a tub of turmeric+coconut oil rice.

And a small tub of fruit pickle or acar buah in Malay.

It so happened that my neighbour bought 2 stuffed fish for us.

Heated up leftover steamed sour plum sauce pork rib.

Delicious and filling lunch for 2 people.

The friend who sent me the turmeric rice and fruit pickle forwarded the following photos from her garden.

Is this a Bromeliad/Guzmania?

Hope someone can help to identify this plant.

No rice for dinner since we had taken rice for lunch. Instead we had noodle.

Ending this post with an evening sky at 7:48pm.

But the good man - what a different story!

For the good man - the blameless, the upright,

the man of peace - he has a wonderful future ahead of him.

For him there is a happy ending.

Turmeric Rice & Chicken Rendang

We had finished our morning walk and breakfast at our regular coffee shop. I didn't take snapshots of our breakfast because it must be the same common breakfast.

As we were coming out of the coffee shop, I saw a few mourning doves looking for food on the road.

The birds were not easily frightened off by passers by.

Later in the morning, we visited a food catering shop or Restaurant Seri Meesan. The boss is one of hubby's friend. Before the pandemic, we used to order from this caterer whenever we need to hold a function.

With the Chinese New Year less than a month away, he is promoting the above dish known as "Poon Choy".

And also the above set meal for those who don't feel like cooking.

Before we left the restaurant, we bought a few packages of frozen ready to eat food. All we have to do is to submerge the package of food into boiling water for a few minute and once you opened the package, the food can be served.

A friend gave me a tub of turmeric rice, cooked by her partner.

Turmeric rice: Briyani rice, turmeric, coconut oil.

When I opened the cover of the tub, I can smell a nice fragrance.

Chicken Rendang.

Instead of submerging the frozen package of chicken rendang into boiling water, this old fashion auntie prefer to open the package, poured the content into a steaming bowl and steamed the chicken rendang covered before serving.

Our one dish dinner without spending much time in the kitchen.

I only need to steam the turmeric rice and chicken rendang before serving.

Lord, deal with me in loving-kindness,

and teach me, your servant, to obey; for I am your servant;

therefore give me common sense to apply your rules to everything I do.
