Spicy Curry Noodle vs Thick Creamy Curry Noodle

When I was working, I struggled to get up early in the morning to get ready for work. Now that I am retired and can afford to sleep late, I couldn't. Even without the alarm clock, I automatically wake up early. So, the best way to spend the early hours is to go for morning walk, enjoy to cool, fresh air and have some form of exercise.

These birds sleep in the bamboo trees below. When they awake, these early birds assembled on the power lines above and sound their wake up call.

Sometimes, they will fly off in a circle and come back to the power lines.

Breakfast - Day 1

We have been passing by this corner coffee shop on our walk and I have been wanting to try the curry noodle. Finally, we did try. We were one of the first customers. Red and spicy curry gravy with generous mint leaves.

I was told these were homemade stuffed items.

Breakfast for 2 people.

We shared the bowl of curry noodle and stuffed items.

Back home in my garden.

These tiny baby grasshoppers were enjoying my hibiscus leaves for breakfast. I am glad that they have all disappeared and no more eating the leaves.

Breakfast - Day 2

The curry noodle we had on Day 1 tasted so-so only. Feeling unsatisfied, we went for curry noodle again on Day 2 at Yee Fatt Tea Shop.

We ordered our favourite "messy" dry curry noodle. Thick creamy curry gravy covering the noodle, chicken and bbq pork.

A bowl of free curry soup if you order the dry curry noodle.

Finally, a satisfying breakfast.

I took the following photos at a hotel in Malacca.

The same motorcycle shown in the poster.

Blur me! I only noticed this when going through the photos.

Don't ever forget the wonderful fact that Jesus Christ was a man,

born into King David's family; and that he was God,

as shown by the fact that he rose again from the dead.

Lunch At Kafe Diamond, Menglembu

We have about 4 days of 2020 before we welcome in the New Year 2021. We are all hoping for a better year in 2021 but we are also reading about the new virus strain that is claimed to be more deadly. Many are placing their hope in the vaccines, yet many are also doubtful about the effectiveness of the vaccines because the virus is constantly mutating. We don't know when or whether our lives will return to normal. Whatever the New Year 2021 brings, we will still have to adhere to the SOP to protect ourselves and others from the virus. 

One afternoon, we went to Menglembu wet market to buy roast pork. From this photo, we can see that everyone queuing up was wearing a mask. These days, if we are in public places without a mask, we feel "naked" and quickly have to find a mask to cover up. Not only that, if we are caught without a mask, we will be poorer by RM1k! 

The roast pork was almost sold out and hubby bought the above for RM10.

Lunch At Kafe Diamond, Menglembu.

I ordered some fried bean curd items without noodle.

Hubby and I shared this bowl of Mango jelly dessert.

After lunch, we drove to Aeon Big Falim.

I had to stop to snap a photo of this colourful clown at the Grolier stall.

And next to the clown was this robot.

See the young lad watching the robot?

Lol! He was trying to get the attention of the robot!

I think he was trying to show the robot some nice moves.

The end of everything has come.

Therefore, be self-controlled and clearheaded so you can pray.

Above all, show sincere love to each other,

because love brings about the forgiveness of many sins.

(1 Peter 4:7-8, Common English Bible-CEB)

Lunch & Dinner On Christmas Day 2020

Early morning on Christmas day, our friend called up to inform us that she will be buying breakfast for us. She bought savoury taro cake (woo tau koh) for us. After breakfast, we walked home and waited for the online Christmas Day celebration to start.

Christmas Day Lunch

I reheated the prawns and pineapple curry which I took out from the fridge.

A walnut sesame bread which I bought from Aeon Big Falim.

I removed the corn from the cob, steamed and mixed with a little salt and butter.

This was our Christmas Day lunch.

Happy to clear all the leftover items from the fridge.

Christmas Day Homecooked Dinner

Beef slices with young ginger slices and spring onions.

Blanched Chinese mustard (choy sum) given by a friend.

Drizzled with garlic oil and soy sauce.

Our homecooked dinner with steamed rice.

A bee busy at work in the Okra flower.

A dog crossing our path as we walked home from morning walk.

This bird perched on my neighbour's roof was chirping loudly as I was watering my plants in the garden.

Can you see the bird perched on the Bauhinia Kockiana branch? I think it must be trying to fish from my guppies pond. I have covered my guppies pond with a mosquito netting to protect them from the birds.

You are my mighty rock, my fortress, my protector,

the rock where I am safe, my shield, my powerful weapon,

and my place of shelter.
