Lunch at Restoran Nam Hing Loong, Temoh, Perak

Yesterday, 5th day CNY 2023, hubby had a gathering with his course mates. A few of them met up in one of their house and spent some time catching up with one another. They came from Singapore, Johor, Kuala Lumpur and Perak and this is their once a year gathering. I was home with my son. They ordered the following dishes for their lunch.

Venison with young ginger slices and spring onions.

Pork tender.

Brinjal or eggplant.

Sang cheong (innard or pig's intestine).

Blanched green veggie.

According to hubby, everyone was giving thumbs up for the dishes.

In spite of the crowd, they only waited for half an hour to be served.

The following sky photos were taken in September, 2022.

Spotted a rainbow during our morning walk at 7am.

Took another shot of the rainbow before we continued on our morning walk.

remember my eternal promise to every living being on the earth.

Food On The 3rd & 4th Day CNY 2023

On 3rd day of CNY 2023, I cooked black vinegar pork leg for lunch.

I served half portion for lunch because there were only 3 of us eating. Younger son went out for lunch with his friends. I kept the other half portion to be frozen for another meal.

Broccoli and carrot and I used some of the egg white left behind from another recipe.

4th day CNY 2023, elder son will be returning to work in the city after breakfast. We thought of having breakfast at the dim sum restaurant nearby our house.

When we saw the overflowing crowd at the dim sum restaurant, we changed our minds and walked over to the opposite food court. There, we were told that the steamed buns were all sold out.  Elder son ordered curry noodle while hubby and I shared a plate of braised pork noodle.

Braised pork noodle.

I didn't take photo of son's curry noodle.

We don't light firecrackers but we do have a pot of blooming orange firecrackers in our garden.

Simple home cooked dinner on 4th Day CNY 2023. 

Son's favourite: Fish paste & minced pork patties.

Hubby's favourite: Stewed chicken feet.

Cooked napa cabbage with carrot.

I added a can of abalone (received as a gift). There were 10 small abalones in the can. Sad to say that the abalones, even cut into small pieces were all very rubbery. This is the first time I come across such rubbery abalone.

Yellow cucumber + carrot and pork bones soup.

The weather is usually hot when we celebrate CNY but for this year, it was an exception. For once, we are enjoying nice and cool weather throughout CNY 2023.

Sound the trumpet!

Come to the joyous celebrations at full moon,

new moon, and all the other holidays.

(Psalm 81:3, The Living Bible-TLB)

Updates From My Garden January 2023

I have been busy cooking lunch and dinner for the family and for most of the meals I have forgotten to snap photos of the dishes that I have cooked. So, no food post for the time being. Instead, I will update on my garden plants.

Okra or ladies' fingers.

Currently, I have 2 okra plants growing in the same pot.

This long okra was harvested a day late and it was not good for food, hard and fibrous.

Green brinjals / eggplants /aubergines growing in my garden.

This must be harvested before the seeds harden.

Sometimes, it can grow quite long and still is tender.

I sowed a few yellow cucumber seeds and only one is successful.

Cranberry Hibiscus blooming away.

This patch of land which I used to plant green and purple amaranth has been infested with tiny snails and they will eat up all the young leaves. I will try to plant corn instead and see if the snails will attack the corn plants.

Linking to Wordless Wednesday & My Corner of the World.

Like sheep you wandered away from God,

but now you have returned to your Shepherd,

The Guardian of your souls who keeps you safe from all attacks.
