Dinner @ Warehouse At Palo 101, Ipoh

The day started with breakfast with friends at Kopitiam Ngai Seng, Medan Bendahara 2, Ipoh. Our friends have tried and enjoyed the wonton noodles and wanted to introduce to us. When we reached the place, our friends have already ordered our breakfast for us.

Wonton noodle with roast duck and roast pork, and a bowl of wonton dumplings. Hubby and I shared this plate of noodle.

Bbq stuffed intestine and roast pork lunch without rice.

After doing some repair work up on the flat roof above the porch area, hubby was hubby hungry by 1:30pm. Accompanied hubby out for lunch and we ended up at the coffee shop selling roast pork. We had roast pork for breakfast and now roast pork for lunch.

After having our plan postponed twice, we finally get to have dinner at the Warehouse, Palo 101. It happened to be raining heavily that evening and it took us a while to find the entrance to the Warehouse, which is a food and brew place located at 189, Unit 3, Jalan Sultan Iskandar, Taman Jubilee, Ipoh.

Inside the Warehouse.

The upper floor section was closed that evening.

We have given a table with 6 high chairs. We didn't know or else we would have requested for a table with low chairs for 6 seniors.

This wall mural was next to our table.

After browsing through the menu, we finally ordered the following:

Grilled Sea Bass with creamy sauce - 2 sets (RM53.60)

Grilled Lamb Shoulder - 2 sets (RM51.60)

Ham-Dan (salted egg) Whole chicken leg - 2 sets (RM45.60)

By the time we finished dinner, the rain has stopped.

I found the above moth fluttering on the floor. Not easy to take these snapshots because it didn't stay still for long. By the time I came out from the kitchen, it has disappeared, hopefully it had flew out the window.

This tiny pretty yellow butterfly was clinging onto the Water Jasmine plant.

Linking to Saturday's Critters.

"But the good soil represents honest, good-hearted people.

They listen to God's words and cling to them and

steadily spread them to others who also soon believe."

(Luke 8:15, The Living Bible-TLB)

Dinner At Restoran Makanan Laut Piew, Falim, Ipoh

It was Good Friday. We chose Restoran Makanan Laut Piew, a place conveniently on the way for us to go to church after dinner.

Tofu with fresh mushrooms, snap peas and carrot.

Water spinach (kangkong) with shrimp paste (belacan) in clay pot.

Eggplant with fish paste.

Deep fried black pomfret fish with salted vegetable and tofu.

Cockscomb flowers from my front garden.

These are baby plants.

Took these night sky shots after returning from dinner.

Moon shot with the Bauhinia Kockiana blooms at 8:45pm.

Linking to Friday Bliss, Skywatch Friday & Garden Affair.

Praise him who made the heavenly lights,

for his loving-kindness continues forever;

the sun to rule the day,

for his loving-kindness continues forever;

and the moon and stars at night,

for his loving-kindness continues forever.

(Psalm 136:7-9, The Living Bible-TLB)

Fish Head, Pineapple And Okra Curry

We were not the only early risers. These early birds were outside their owner's house by the roadside searching for food.

They have to be early to catch the worms. This rooster is very protective over his hen, making sure I do not go any nearer.

~~~~~

I have a frozen fish head in the freezer and half a pineapple in the fridge. One way of using both is to cook curry.

Home cooked fish head and pineapple curry.

I also added okra and tomato to the curry.

Blanched home grown chives, drizzled with garlic oil, oyster and soy sauce.

I divided the fish head curry into 3 portions. 1 gave 1 portion to my neighbour, 2nd portion for dinner and kept the 3rd portion for next day's dinner.

Bougainvillea by the roadside.

Can someone help me to describe the above colour?

~~~~~

Next day's dinner.

I warmed up the last portion of fish head and pineapple curry.

Steamed minced pork with preserved veggie (tung choy). It looks dry because I didn't add any water to the minced pork before steaming.

Sweet potato leaves with garlic, dried prawns, chilies and shrimp paste (belacan).

Another satisfying home cooked dinner. I love pineapple in curries.

In this act we see what real love is: it is not our love for God

but his love for us when he sent his Son to satisfy

God's anger against our sins.

(I John 4:10, The Living Bible-TLB)

That is why Christ said as he came into the world,

"O God, the blood of bulls and goats cannot satisfy you,

so you have made ready this body of mine

for me to lay as a sacrifice upon your altar.

(Hebrews 10:5, The Living Bible-TLB)
