Arrow Root Pork Rib Soup & Sambal Canned Sardin For Dinner

This was 1 week before Ipoh starts EMCO (enhanced movement control order). As usual, we did our morning walk and the following bird photos were taken during our walk home.

Birds in a line on the roof.
Birds in flight.
On the ground, we did our walking exercise.
Up above, the birds are doing their flying exercise, circling above us.
~~~~~
Back home, I took out 2 glutinous rice dumplings from the fridge which hubby bought from the night market the day before and steamed them.
Dumplings (bak chang) in their leaf wrappings.
Our simple breakfast with 2-in-1 black coffee.
Both the white and black dumplings are equally delicious.
~~~~~
Simple lunch
I bought these 2 vegetarian bean curd rolls from the roadside stall on our morning walk. I unwrapped one and cut for lunch.
Hubby's lunch.
I took out the previous night's leftover soup, heated it up for my lunch.
I took 2 cream crackers with strawberry jam with soup for lunch.
~~~~~
Dinner
I boiled soup.
Ingredients used: arrow root, carrot, pork rib, red dates and gojiberries.
I used canned sardine to cook sambal sardine.
This can of sardine was bought during the 2nd MCO for cooking assam laksa but somehow it didn't happen.
I used up the remaining lettuce and capsicum for salad.
Steamed rice for hubby. No rice for me so I ate this plate of salad.
Only a small portion of sambal sardine was eaten so I kept the rest to make sardine sandwich for my breakfast.
Dredging buckets used for tin mining.
These were displayed at Palong Tin Mining Museum @ Kinta Riverfront, Ipoh.


Worship the Lord with the beauty of holy lives.
Let the earth tremble before him.
Tell the nations that Jehovah reigns! He rules the world.
His power can never be overthrown. He will judge all nations fairly.
Let the heavens be glad, the earth rejoice;
let the vastness of the roaring seas demonstrate his glory.
Praise him for the growing fields, for they display his greatness.
Let the trees of the forest rustle with praise.
(Psalm 96:9-12, The Living Bible-TLB)

Nasi Lemak, Chive Omelette, Salad & Glass Noodle In Soup

This was on a Friday, one week before we were placed on Enhanced Movement Control Order (EMCO) which is the tightening of the MCO 3.0. Under MCO 3.0, we were still able to enjoy our early morning walk.

The streets were deserted at about 7am.
~~~~~
We stopped at a roadside stall to buy nasi lemak.
The nasi lemak and sambal sauce were packed separately.
I have extra cut chives in the fridge which I didn't use up.
So, I used it to make chive omelette.
Hot milo
Breakfast for 2 people.
Nasi lemak with the sambal sauce added.
I bought the above biscuits for snacks. These are my favourite biscuits. On the left is the peanuts and sesame biscuit and on the right is the cream crackers without oil. 
Gifts from my neighbour.
~~~~~
Simple and healthy lunch.
Baby Romaine lettuce, red and yellow capsicums.
Baby Romaine lettuce with Kewpie roasted sesame dressing. Hubby doesn't like capsicum nor is he a fan of raw nuts and cranberries.
Colourful and beautiful salad for me.
Baby Romaine lettuce, red and yellow capsicums, pine nuts, walnuts, and cranberries.
Drizzled with Kewpie roasted sesame dressing. So yummy!
~~~~~
Afternoon snack.
A type of rojak consisting of blanched water spinach, tofu, fish balls, fish cake, fried stuffed bean curd sheet, and peanut sauce.
~~~~~
Dinner
There won't be any hot pot party for the time being so I used the hot pot flavouring to cook soup with fish and meat balls, cauliflower, carrot and sweet peas.
Glass noodle (tong fun) to go with the soup.
Light and healthy dinner for 2 people.
Condiments to go with the glass noodle soup for extra flavouring.
Left: spicy crispy anchovies, right: curry paste oil.

"Good salt is worthless if it loses its saltiness;
it can't season anything. So don't lose your flavor!
Live in peace with each other."
(Mark 9:50, The Living Bible-TLB)

Simple Breakfast, Black Vinegar Pork Leg & Chive Omelette For Dinner

This was 4th day MCO 3.0. It was drizzling when we woke up. When the drizzling stopped, we were able to set out for our early morning walk.

Breaking of dawn.
~~~~~
We stopped at a roadside stall because hubby wanted to buy economy fried beehoon for breakfast.
The portion of the noodle was big. I took a few spoonful for myself plus 2 pieces of savoury biscuits with strawberry jam. We had 2-in-1 black coffee, gifted from our neighbour.
~~~~~
Lunch
I was busy with the sewing machine, testing out the new electric motor and foot pedal. I needed to do some mending work. 
So hubby volunteered to cook instant noodle for both of us.
He used 2 packets of Mi Sedap Mi Goreng Asli (instant noodle).
He used only 1 sachet of flavouring for 2 packets of noodle.
~~~~~
Home cooked dinner
Last portion of black vinegar pork leg.
Home grown chives and egg omelette.
Appetizing dinner on a cool evening.
We saw this Labrador Retriever running loose.
It stopped in front of this house and it looked lost.
Just around the corner its owner with a pet leash was looking for him or her and we pointed the owner to this house.


It is this God who has made you and me into faithful Christians
and commissioned us apostles to preach the Good News.
He has put his brand upon us - his mark of ownership - and
given us his Holy Spirit in our hearts as guarantee that we belong to him
and as the first installment of all that he is going to give us.
(2 Corinthians 1:21-22, The Living Bible-TLB)
