Tom Yam Soup, Fried Noodle & Chives Omelette

It has been quite a while since we last had combined dinner with our friends at my place. My friends said "yes" and someone will be contributing a dish but she didn't specify what type of dish. I informed them that I will be cooking tom yam soup and chives omelette. It was to be a simple dinner since the four of us couldn't eat much.

This is my pot of tom yam soup with prawns, cauliflower, carrot and abalone mushroom.

Omelette with mantis prawns and home grown chives from my garden.

Contribution from our friends:

Fried yellow noodle with big prawns.

After dinner, the men watched TV while the women did the washing up. We rested awhile and then someone suggested going to Aeon Big for some dessert.

These birds on the tree top opposite my house were very noisy, happy to return home to rest for the night. I took this snapshot before I got into the car.

We ordered 2 sets of Affogato (ice cream with black coffee)

Hubby and I shared this Affogato and Honey Lemon drink.

I stopped for this snapshot on our walk home.

Pineapple & Mantis Prawn Fried Rice For Dinner

It was still dark when we started out on our morning walk. The moon can be seen clearly above us.

When I took this snapshot of the moon at 6:33am, it was partially concealed by the dark cloud.

On our way home, I stopped to take a snapshot of this multi layered petals pink hibiscus by the roadside.

I don't know what to do with the last packet of frozen mantis prawns. I was thinking of frying pineapple rice for dinner and adding the mantis prawns to the fried rice seemed a good idea.

I haven't re-visited this place so I don't know if this place is still open for public viewing.

Linking to Happy Tuesday & Tuesday's Treasures.

Shout for joy before the Lord, O earth!

Obey him gladly; come before him, singing with joy.

Try to realize what this means - the Lord is God!

He made us - we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Go through his open gates with great thanksgiving;

enter his courts with praise.

Give thanks to him and bless his name.

For the Lord is always good.

He is always loving and kind, and his faithfulness

goes on and on to each succeeding generation.

(Psalm 100:1-5, The Living Bible-TLB)

Dinner At New TS VIP Restaurant, Ipoh

We woke up to another brand new day. From the look of the sky, rain was expected but sometimes, it is just overcast sky without any rain.

Sunrise at 8:08am.

When there is light, darkness has to flee.

It showed the fountain at the Ipoh padang in Ipoh old town.

This snapshot of the fountain at the corner of Ipoh Padang was taken in the year 2018.

Those who believe him discover that God is a fountain of truth.

For this one - sent by God - speaks God's words,

for God's Spirit is upon him without measure or limit.

The Father loves this man because he is his Son,

and God has given him everything there is.
