Waxed Duck, Bottle Gourd Soup & Nai Pak Choy

 This was a nice cool and clear morning. We got ready for morning walk.

Sunrise at 7:02am.

On the reverse side - Kledang Hill.

We settled for shredded chicken noodle for breakfast at our regular coffeeshop.

The boss added a chicken liver to hubby's bowl of kai si hor fun (shredded chicken with flat rice noodle).

He also added something to my bowl: 2 pieces of fried fish cake.

2 bowls for RM11.00, no extra charge for the add-ons.

Home cooked dinner on a rainy evening.

I boiled soup with bottle gourd, carrot, goji berries, red dates and roast pork bones.

Steamed 1 waxed duck leg. This is hubby's favourite.

Stir fried home grown nai pak choy and ladies fingers with pork slices.

Our dinner on a rainy evening, eaten with steamed brown rice.

The bowl with more soup was hubby's. I like to drink and also eat the soup ingredients. That is the reason why I prefer not to eat rice.

But, O my soul, don't be discouraged.

Don't be upset. Expect God to act!

For I know that I shall again have plenty of reason

to praise him for all that he will do.

He is my help! He is my God!

(Psalm 42:11, The Living Bible-TLB)

Hakka Noodle, Monk Fruit Sweet Drink & Steamed Waxed Duck

It rained yesterday night, 26th day MCO. I was watching a Chinese drama when suddenly there was lightning and loud thunder. The TV screen went blank and then back to normal again. I quickly switched off and unplugged both the TV and my computer. Life would be real boring without the TV and computer during this MCO.

 I managed to capture this sunrise at 7:06 am.

 This was at 7:20 am.

Crystal Vegetable, Stuffed Fish & Stir Fried Fresh Mushrooms For Lunch

After both my sons went back to work, I still have plenty of food stocked up in the fridge. That means the cook cannot take leave but have to continue to cook to clear the stock. Here is one of the home cooked lunches.

Fresh Crystal or Ice Vegetable

 I like to eat crystal vegetable with Kewpie roasted sesame dressing. 

 Plain stir fried fresh mushrooms with snow peas, ginger slices and garlic.

 Fried Stuffed Fish with spicy paste. I cut off too much of the tail, so not very presentable. I only know this fish as Ikan Cencaru (in Malay). My elder son brought back 10 fishes from his fishing trip when he came back for the Chinese New Year celebration.

 Leftover 3 pieces of steamed waxed duck (hubby love this).

 Steamed a little multi-grain rice for hubby.

The photo (below) was taken at the National Museum.

 The Pangkor Treaty

The following photos were taken in my garden. 

 In one of my earlier posts, I shared about a pink hibiscus coming out from a yellow hibiscus plant. After the flower wilted and dropped off, I noticed another pink bud (above) from the same stem.

This is same plant as the pink hibiscus but all this time, it only has yellow hibiscus with multi layer petals.

 This is another yellow hibiscus but the petals are in single layer. You can see the leaves in this picture is different from the previous two photos.

Long ago God spoke in many different ways to our fathers

through the prophets, in visions, dreams, and even face to face,

telling them little by little about his plans.

But now in these days, he has spoken to us through his Son

to whom he has given everything and through whom

he made the world and everything there is.

(Hebrews 1:1-2, The Living Bible-TLB)
