Soy Sauce Prawns, Steamed Lala & Home Grown Vegetables

On this particular morning, we went for our morning walk. After we had walked enough, we walked home without taking any breakfast because we had breakfast appointment with our friends. We went home, took a shower and drove to our friend's house.

Sunrise at 7:30 am.

On the way out, we stopped to buy some roast pork for breakfast.

That morning, we tried something new. Hubby and I shared this bowl of noodle that tasted like lor mee and they served it with black vinegar.

Later in the morning, I bought some langsat (local fruit) from a roadside stall in my area.

That morning, I harvested the above white brinjals from my garden.

~~~~~

That evening, I had friends over for a home cooked dinner.

Steamed home grown white brinjals, sprinkled with garlic oil and drizzled with oyster and soy sauce.

Sauteed broccoli with some minced pork and garlic.

Soy sauce prawns with spring onion and chives. Our friend contributed these big prawns bought from the evening market.

Lala or clams cooked Thai style which is sweet, sour and spicy. Every complained that they couldn't get enough of the appetizing broth.

Delicious and satisfying no rice dinner for 4 people.

Update From My Garden 70th Day MCO

Yesterday (70th day MCO) was rather mundane, no lovely sunrise and no interesting food to share. We started our day with a morning walk. After that, hubby went out to buy his breakfast. He bought a packet of fried sticky rice or "san chow loh mai fun" in Cantonese. I forgot to take a snapshot of the sticky rice.

I had 2 pieces of toast with peanut walnut butter and kaya plus a cup of plain Sabah tea without milk or sugar.

Update from my garden.

New batch of Snake bean plants with snake beans hanging from the vines. 

White eggplants waiting to be harvested.

Dark red Caladium from my garden.

Hope it will continue to stay healthy.

Dinner

Hubby went out to buy rice porridge with minced pork and pork liver. He ate the porridge with leftover fried dace with salted black beans.

As for me, I pan fried 2 frozen chapati to make wraps.

Fried Chicken Wings & Snake Beans Egg Omelette

This is another warm morning with no cool breeze being felt in the early hours of the morning at the park.

There was also no spectacular sunrise to start off the day.

 But I was happy with that morning's harvest of snake long beans, white brinjals and limes from my garden.

 We have been drinking lime juice everyday. Lime juice with salted plum is great for quenching thirst on hot days.

I have decided of using these long beans to make egg omelette. Hubby is starting to get bored with these snake beans but I enjoy eating them.

 Snake long beans and egg omelette.

That evening I also deep fried some pre-marinated chicken wings.

 We ate these 2 dishes without rice for dinner.

It was a very satisfying dinner.

Odd Shape Chili From My Garden

Woke up one morning without rain or even a slight drizzle. We were able to resume our early morning walk at the park. 

 Morning sky at the park - 6:40 am

 Nice sky and reflection in the water.

For breakfast, we drove out to Ipoh town. We had breakfast at Kedai Kopi Yee Fatt, Jalan Kampar which is well known for its curry noodles.

 We ordered Kopi O Kosong (black coffee without sugar).

 This time, instead of my usual curry noodle (dry version), I ordered this curry noodle (soup version) for a change. This is just as good as the dry version.

Our breakfast.

 Back home, I harvested this odd shape green chili from my garden.

This is my first time coming across such odd shape chili.

That evening we had home cooked dinner.

 Pan fried soya sauce prawns 

 Steamed white brinjals and topped with garlic and shallot crisps and scallop sauce.

Simple and satisfying dinner for 2 people.

Just as Death and Destruction are never satisfied,

so human desire is never satisfied.

Stuffed Ingredients And Chee Cheong Fun For Dinner

I have a few purple and white eggplant or brinjal plants growing in my garden. They have been very fruitful.

 White brinjal or eggplant, slim and long ones.

 I harvest some stunted purple brinjals from an old plant and some slim and long white brinjals.

The next day, I harvested these lovely white brinjals and 2 more purple ones.

Another morning, I harvested the above.

How to use up all the above?

I could only think of making stuffed ingredients.

Stuffed white and purple brinjals, bitter gourds, long beans, stubby okras, tofu and tofu puffs. Made the stuffing with fish paste, minced pork, chopped spring onions and chilies.

Set aside the above for that evening's dinner with chili sauce as dipping. The rest kept in the freezer until needed.

We were blessed with 2 packets of steamed flat noodle (chee cheong fun) by a friend and we ate with our stuffed ingredients for dinner.

The steamed flat noodles were packed with sauce, and pig's skin and long beans curry.

Due to excessive rain, my pink fairy lilies are happily flowering.

During this monsoon season, we see dark clouds almost every late afternoon or evening.

Breakfast: Prawn Noodle, Dinner: Steamed Eggs & Steamed Brinjals

It was a beautiful morning and we could feel the cool morning breeze blowing as we walk in the park.

 Sunrise - 7:00 am

Once we have finished our rounds of walking, we were thinking of the prawn noodle we want to try at a new place.

This car was in front of us as we were heading towards our breakfast place.

 This is the 2nd time I see such car on the road.

Doesn't this prawn noodle looks delicious?
