Salted Chicken, Wild Boar Rendang & Green Amaranth

It was a day with overcast sky.

Morning sky.

~~~~~

A friend came to visit and we received a salted chicken, which we heated up for dinner by steaming.

The price of a salted chicken is almost RM30. Inside the cavity of the chicken, you can find 2 pieces of "tong kwai" (Chinese herb).

Wild boar curry rendang bought from an Indian stall.

Home grown green amaranth in soup and egg.

We had the above with steamed brown rice.

A dear friend propagated this plant for me.

I think this is the Cranberry hibiscus.

The mural is now quite faded.

The shallow, rocky soil represents the heart of a man

who hears the message and receives it with real joy,

but he doesn't have much depth in his life,

and the seeds don't root very deeply,

and after a while when trouble comes,

or persecution begins because of his beliefs,

his enthusiasm fades, and he drops out.

(Matthew 13:20-21, The Living Bible-TLB)

Prawn Noodle, Wild Boar Rendang, Porridge With Fried Dace & Salted Egg

I had a packet of Hokkien Prawn Noodle ready made paste that was near expiry date. 

I used the paste to cook Hokkien Prawn Noodle for lunch.

Ingredients used: big prawns, chicken drumstick meat cut into cubes, beansprouts and home grown chives. I kept the remaining soup for next day's breakfast.

For dinner, hubby went out to buy wild boar rendang (RM10) from a nearby Indian stall.

I had bread with the wild boar rendang while hubby had instant noodle with the wild boar rendang. He is not a fan of bread.

The next morning's breakfast.

After returning from our morning walk, I heated up the prawn soup.

We had Hokkien prawn noodle with hot milo for breakfast.

Simple dinner for 2 people.

I boiled plain brown rice porridge.

Opened a can of fried dace with salted black beans.

There were 2 fried dace with the black beans.

I actually like the black beans than the fried dace.

I boiled 2 salted duck eggs. I am too lazy to pickle the eggs. Nowadays it is more convenient to buy from the store.

Hubby likes to eat porridge with the above fermented white bean curd (fu yue). He likes the one with sesame oil and chili added.

This time I managed to take a snapshot of the black bird that comes to shred my banana leaves and flies off with the banana leaf shreds. I do not know the identity of the bird. The picture is not clear so I don't know if anyone can help to identify this bird.

A friendly discussion is as stimulating

as the sparks that fly when iron strikes iron.
