Food is my love language

Yes la... I "love" my body so much that I feed it with so much food!  😁  I'm just gonna post these here, because I think they're so pretty and at some point, I feel healthy when I eat them!  Haha.  Posting here also, because well, it's private.  No one reads the blog anymore (or rarely does), so I have the freedom to say whatever I want.
Date:  25 June 2020.  
Location:  Hock Lee Hotel and Residences (Formerly known as 360 Hotel and then M Hotel)  Tower B.
Such beautiful view to makan to... Blessed to be able to use this room for the morning. 
I think  I will get this room on my birthday.  This breakfast came with the room.
Delivered.  Because.  MCO.

Such beatiful natural light!  I NEED to have large windows in my house next time. 
No, I didn't eat the sausages.  Did try a bite.  Yucks.  I nuked the egg yolks to cook it better. 
I can't accept this kind of runny yolks when eggs are fried.  

(Note:  The room comes with a kitcheatte which includes fridge, microwave oven, stove, pots and pans, plates and cutleries too)

2 hours before that acah-acah western breakfast, I had my kampung breakfast.  So satisfying.

Mom planted these Itip leaves.  And we started making our own nuba laya.
Our hands are not that immune to the heat, so we can't get a good perfect nuba laya shape.
But I think we''ve nailed the texture.

Mom has also started making kelupis.  So we dont have to be like vultures the next time we are at Lun Bawang gatherings.

I dont know since when I like these... but yes, they are super! 
Terung Bakar (on the stove)  Smokey.  Tasty.  Sweet.  Even on it's own.
but add some belacan + cili + kicap, that's it.  You're gone.

Father's Day.  Sunday.  I had to be in church by 7am.  So I woke up at 4am to cook these for Father's Day lunch for dad.
I don't buy lamb anymore.  Freaking expensive.  For this time, I got 2.7kg at RM97.  Gila kah apa?!
But for dad, just get it lah.
I had to visit some elderly parents of my friend's after church service, so I tapau-ed these to eat in the car.  Noel went out with his friends that day.
The penyaram - mom made.  to prove to my SIL and I that she knows to make when we failed terribly.  Haha

I wanted to eat fried bihun with chicken curry.  But I also wanted bihun sambal.  So I kept a portion of the bihun to cook bihun sambal for myself.  Loaded with tonnes of veg and very spicy, hoping to fend off any vultures (aka Noel and my nephew Adel).  But the strategy didn't work.  They ate more than I did.

When we woke up that day, I asked the boys what they wanted to eat for lunch.  They said bihun with curry.
But, I didn't have any curry powder in the house and was lazy to go out.  Since it was still early in the morning (9ish), I ordered online.  We targeted to eat at 1.30.  Come 12, still no show on our delivery.  We panicked.  So I cooked the bihun first.  In case we got too hungry.  The boys refused any other menu.
1pm honk honk!  Yes, the curry powder is here!  Cook Cook!  2pm.  Lunch.

Mom makes Bak Chang too.  This time, we requested her to pleaseeee put in more meat.
Today 25 June is Dragon Boat Festival Day.  a.k.a bak chang day.

My first clean meal after a long long time.  Air Fried Fish, Blanched Long Beans.
This was the day after i feast on the bihun and curry.  I went up 400g.  Crazy.
This is how you char the brinjal on the stove.  Till it gets really char.  Yums
OK, that's all for now.  Bangkok post has to wait.  MCO post has to wait.  I'm just plain lazy.

Stay safe.  God bless.
