The Plants In My Garden

It rained heavily yesterday evening and this morning, the dark sky looked like it was going to rain again but it didn't. Now the sky is bright and sunny.

Morning sky partially blocked by dark cloud.

It looks like I was focusing on the lamp post and the power lines.

*     *     *     *     *

Below are some of the edible plants I have re-potted into bigger pots.

One of the eggplant or brinjal plants but I can't remember whether they are white or purple ones.

Some luffa or loofah plants.

One of the bitter melon or bitter gourd plants.

Again, I can remember whether they are the white or green ones.

One taro or yam plant.

I don't know whether this is the small or big type.

Some fig plants grown from cuttings.

The above are the Brunswick Fig plants.

These are also grown from cuttings.

These are the Purple Jordan fig plants.

One of the red okra or lady fingers plants.

A few of these are found growing from the ground in between the pots. They must have grown from the seeds dropped from the old green amaranth plants.

Harvested these from my garden.

One of the dinners I cooked last week, a very appetizing dinner.

Sambal petai prawns (spicy stinky beans and prawns), stir fried veggie with garlic and 3 pieces of left over chicken curry from the previous meal. 

My son, honey whets the appetite and so does wisdom!

When you enjoy becoming wise, there is hope for you!

A bright future lies ahead!

(Proverbs 24:13-14, The Living Bible-TLB)

Dinner For 6 At Restoran Ipoh.

A lovely sunrise greeted us at the recreational park.

A lovely sunrise to start the new day.

Reflection on the water.

*     *     *     *     *

That evening, we had a dinner gathering of 6 people at Restoran Ipoh, Jalan Masjid, Ipoh. We were there at 7 pm and the place was packed. We waited more than an hour for dinner to be served. In future, we need to book the table and order the dishes at the same time to avoid the long wait.

Steamed Tilapia fish with savoury sauce @ RM 36.00

The whole fish was almost covered by the yummy sauce.

Deep fried bitter melon with salted egg yolk @ 10.50

Ma Po Tofu @ RM 8.50

Romaine lettuce stir fried with fermented bean curd @ RM 3.00

Nyonya curry chicken @ RM 15.50

The kitchen left out this dish and I supposed they did a quick cook, It didn't taste as good as the ones we had before. Total cost of dinner including rice and Chinese Tea = RM 98.45

After dinner we drove over to Parkson Parade Shopping Mall.

We parked our car in front of the Ipoh City Council building.

Majlis Bandaraya Ipoh or Ipoh City Council.

Secret Recipe's Cheese Cake.

4 cold drinks and cheese cake for dessert.

Hi, good morning!

One of our early morning walkers at the park.

Linking to Saturday's Critters.

Every morning tell him, "Thank you for your kindness,"

and every evening rejoice in all his faithfulness.

The dark speck in the sky is a bird.

 The sun was peeping from behind the cloud.

The Lord lifts the fallen and those bent beneath their loads.

The eyes of all mankind look up to you for help;

you give them their food as they need it.

You constantly satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing.
