Home Cooked Steamed Free Range Chicken For Dinner.

One day, I ordered a free range chicken through a friend. According to my friend, the chickens are fed with good quality chicken feed and the chicken meat is very sweet and tender. These chicken are slightly more expensive than those sold in the market. I went to collect the dressed chicken and I used half of the chicken to cook for dinner that evening.

Hubby loves "pak chum kai" (in Cantonese). Direct translation - "pak" is white, "chum" is chopped, "kai" is chicken = white chopped chicken". It actually means plain steamed chicken. First, I seasoned it with sea salt and let it marinate in the fridge before steaming.

Half a chicken - steamed. Since there are only two of us, I am usually too lazy to chop the chicken into smaller pieces. The liquid from the steamed chicken tasted just like homemade chicken essence.

This is blended ginger with cut spring onions. The ginger is bought from store but the spring onion is from my garden. We love to eat steamed chicken with this blended ginger. I added in some sea salt. Other times, I will add in some garlic oil and the crispy fried garlic. 

 I found a small cabbage head in my fridge and some ladies fingers freshly harvested from my garden. This time I chose to stir fry the cabbage and ladies fingers with prawns. We ate the above dishes without eating any rice. If rice is included, there will be left-over from the dishes. The only left-over was the blended ginger which I used to cook the other half of the chicken.

Golden Girls' Lunch At Morganfields, Ipoh.

This time instead of 4 golden girls, only 3 golden girls met up for lunch. 1 golden girl had a appointment so she couldn't join us. We wanted to eat somewhere else but this place only opens to customers at 12 pm sharp. We were there at 11.30 am. Since my car was parked, I suggested to look for a place nearby. Parking is a problem in Greentown Business Centre. I looked opposite and saw Morganfield's.

The 3 of us walked across to take a look. The place was opened and they were ready to receive their customers. I think we were their first customers that day. After we have seated, we were given the menu for set lunches. And we decided on the following sets. The sets consist of a main dish, soup of the day or a salad and a soft drink. For those who didn't want the soft drink, we can order fruit juice at MYR 2.90. All 3 of us don't want the sugary soft drink and we opted for the fruit juice.

Both my friends chose sweet corn chowder and I chose salad.

My friends enjoyed this creamy soup.

 Fresh and crunchy salad for me.

Instead of each one taking a main dish, we decided to share the main dishes. Then we get to taste all 3 dishes.

 Herb chicken with mushroom sauce, coleslaw and French fries @ MYR 17.90

 Pork Schnitzel with mushroom sauce, coleslaw and French fries @ MYR 18.90
I think both the chicken and this pork dish have the same mushroom sauce.

 BBQ Rib or Sticky Bones with coleslaw and French fries @ 34.90

Out of the 3 main dishes, this is our favourite and we like the French fries too.

 Carrot juice and orange juice for my friends and

non sweetened green apple juice for me. 2.90 x 3 = MYR 8.70.

Beer and alcohol posters on the outside wall.

More beer posters on the wall. 

 They have both air con and non air con seating places. We chose the one with air con.

I Like Pink Dresses

Yesterday and today are rehearsal days in preparation for the International Firefighters Day which falls on the 4th May. The main roads leading to town will be closed for three days starting yesterday from early morning till midday.

With the roads closed for three days, most of our errands in town are put on hold. We can go after the roads are re-opened in the afternoon but then it will be too hot. And we want to avoid being caught in a thunderstorm which is quite frequent these days. It is safer to stay indoors as the wind these days can be so strong and there are many incidents of big trees being uprooted.

So how do I pass my time staying indoors these days? Besides the normal housework, reading, etc. I will sit in front of my computer. Recently, a friend recommended me an online dresses website. According to her, Suzhou Dress sells good quality dresses with reasonable prices. Sometimes, we can even get good discounts!

Having ample time, I clicked on the website to take a look on the dresses. Sometimes, it is when we are not actually searching for a dress or meaning to buy one, we will get to see something that we like. Well, did I see anything that I like? Oh yes, there are a few that caught my eyes. I have chosen two pink dresses which I fancy wearing for a special function. I have just realized that both my choices are in pink!

Then I went on to click on the homecoming dresses 2017 and there again I am attracted to these pink dresses. Ha ha pink again! Looks like my favourite colour these days is soft pink. I think pink makes the wearer looks bright and cheery!
