Bok Choy & Bitter Lettuce From My Garden

If I am not mistaken, the rainy season started in November last year and has continued until today. I was about to go out to the garden to harvest the bok choy but it started to rain. I have to wait for about 5 hours for the rain to stop before I could go out to the garden.

Bok choy from my garden. Credit given to hubby for his effort.

Bitter lettuce from my garden. I will be harvesting the leaves for tomorrow's meal.

If not enough, I cut cut some from this plant.

A fun mural for today.

A dulang washer is someone who pans tin sediments on the water's edge.

Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.

Lunch At Q Roaster, Bandar Cyber, Ipoh

We happened to be in Bandar Cyber, and initially we intended to eat at a friend's shop but it was closed. Then I remembered this place that someone shared on Whatsapp chat. It is just behind our friend's shop. 

After browsing through the menu, ordering and payment is at the counter. I would prefer them to provide order chit for customers to tick and then proceed to the counter to order and pay for the food.

While waiting for the food to be served, I took some photos.

Just some simple decorations on the wall.

Sour mustard green was to first to be served @ RM3.50.

Hubby enjoyed it all by himself because I am still refraining from spicy and sour food.

A quarter roast duck,

accompanied by the above: egg wrappers, cucumber strips, spring onion and 2 types of sauce.

Oiled rice for hubby and plain white rice for me.

Place a piece of roast duck, cucumber strips, spring onion, sauce and wrap it up to enjoy.

An enjoyable lunch for both of us.

Would love to return to try the pipa duck and herbal duck.

Lunch At Bao Bao Golden House Restaurant

This was a Tuesday and it was morning walk as usual.

Hubby and I had lunch with a friend who dropped by for a half day's visit. We decided to try a place which we haven't been to because I felt like having porridge. We have been here once before, that was before they changed ownership or the name of the restaurant.

We ordered the seafood porridge consisting of prawns, fish slices, clams and squids. This image is from the menu and we were expecting the porridge to be like this when it was served.

Surprise! The porridge was served and it was nothing like the image in the menu. But it was alright because the porridge was very tasty. Our friend insisted on ordering 2 side dishes.

#1 Asparagus with prawns.

Bitter gourd with pork ribs.

This yummy-licious lunch was a treat from our friend.

Ixora in my front garden.

For dinner, I cooked bak kut teh or herbal pork rib with pig stomach. The herbs came in a packet which I bought from our nearby Chinese herbal shop. For dinner, it was only bak kut teh and steamed brown rice. Kept back half portion for the next day meal.

Work hard and cheerfully at all you do,

just as though you were working for the Lord

and not merely for your masters, remembering that

it is the Lord Christ who is going to pay you,

giving you your full portion of all he owns.

He is the one you are really working for.

(Colossians 3:23-24, The Living Bible-TLB)
