Sunday Dinner

Had lovely Nasi Dagang with Ikan Tongkol curry, yummy Beef Rendang, Mutton curry and Debal Curry. All over the regions and cultures, it culminated in one meal. It was absolutely satisfying!!

The weather has been so hot and dry lately! Each weekend, we go out and drink so much water and yet have no urge to go to the loo. That's how HOT it's been.

So after lunch and TinkyWinky's playdate, we left back for home, and stopped by to get some sugarcane and coconut water. Somehow, Kelapa Pandan is not as nice as it is back home. And they don't have it here that much anyways! Went back, hoping for a nice, cold and tasty drink... and met with a tasteless somewhat clear liquid. *grr* So I made a little sugar syrup, put a drop of rose flavour and red colouring, and ended up with a light pink, more delightful thirst quencher. MMM. :D

Dinner was merely Bak Kut Teh, with fu chuk, enoki, pork ribs, stomach, intestines and liver simmered for about 4 hours in a Chinese herb concoction with some To Miao (green bean sprouts) lightly sauteed with some oyster and soy sauce. Rice was made with a little garlic oil for more flavour and separate grains.


That's all the pics I got today... Must keep remembering to USE PAS (my standard Point-And-Shoot)!!

Have a good week everyone!! :D
