Simple Menu

Usually my mum would prepare meals for my family. But for the whole of this week, she is on vacation. So, I have to take over her task especially the preparation of meals.

Here, I have a very simple menu for lunch today.

deep-fried taufu,
stir-fried long beans with fish cake
and
barley with fu chok

My children are very simple. They just take what is given. Same as my husband. I brought the lunch for him in a tiffing carrier. He ate his lunch at the shop.

Do you cook your own meals?

    This is a very simple meal and I'd love to do it sometimes too. And maybe you'd like to join me at The Krazy Kitchen every tuesday for Cultural foods. This one or anything you prepared would be perfect. You can go to my profile and see the page, the blog is listed there.

    Children will always remember the home cooked dinners prepared by mum...forever love.

    I have a very loving "longing" for my 80+ mum's meat ball soup. Her standard is really out of this world. Just enough mushroom and just enough chinese chopper chopped pork! And just enough tou kuang. And some Sarawak pepper!

This friend of mine, is a kind person. When he has any second hand Brooks shoes, he will call me and ask if I want them. My answer is definitely 'Yes!' He is a dealer in Brooks shoes and he always likes to try on different kinds of shoes. After that, he would just sell them away cheaply. Many months ago, I had bought two pairs from him and recently, my husband told me that those two pairs were almost worn down.  So I had to ask this friend if he had any second hand shoes. He told me that he had this very pair which he only wore it once and he's selling it at RM180. Grabbed it and gave it to my husband. He wore it immediately for his meeting last night. After that, he will wear it for his daily work at the shop.

Hayley and I

I went to Taiping as I was sending my mum home. Well, I never thought that I would be meeting Hayley instead. Initially, I had wanted to meet both Yan and Yvonne but they were working yesterday. Yan gave me Hayley's phone number when I asked her if Hayley was working too. So when I reached Taiping, I messaged Hayley that I would try to locate her place as she had given me her address. I didn't think I would be able to find it. So to be on the safe side, I called her when I reached somewhere near her place. She directed me and I found it..  So nice to meet a new blogger friend and her baby. Aden is so cute! On the way to Hayley's place, I remembered this temple  where I used to visit when I was young to watch the Chinese opera show.

On 16 Oct 12 , I posted a picture of my sister's place and TM commented: I just live 1 mins drive from your sister's place! He asked: How come you didn't plan to meet KL bloggers? I replied: well, that was an impromptu trip..maybe next time I can plan to meet you up should I go to my sister's place again.. Recently I planned to visit my sister again. So on 27 Dec 12, I sent him a facebook message: hi, can I hv your phone number? I will be at my sister's place again. He was surprised: Wow!!!!!! Nice surprise. Finally, we met at Rib House Chicago at 1U.   TM & A.. SP and SK Look at what they ordered! Five kinds of simply scrumptious dish! We chatted as that was our main aim.. Finally, we had a group photo before we called it a day.. Of course, I received some gifts too. Will show you in my next post. I really enjoyed their company and it was nice meeting them in person after so long. Thank you so much...
