I didn't cook all these food.

3. Dessert    :    Purple Sweet Potato Bubur Cha-cha （紫薯摩摩喳喳糖水）- sago, black eye beans, yam , purple sweet potatoes and coconut milk + sugar.

Cassava Sweet Soup ( Tongshui) and Soup Beehoon

A friend of mine gave me this cassava tongshui ( 木薯糖水, ubi kayu ）after my dinner.

I seldom cook cassava by myself because I need to buy one whole big piece of cassava and I think it is quite difficult for me to handle it.

The colour of the dusk outside my house - Ipoh.

My lunch the next day.

1. Soup beehoon with tofu and chives omelette.

2. Still the same cassava tongshui. 

Chinese Cabbage and Lemongrass Pork Rib Soup

All these food was given by friends and neighbour. 

My neigbour Yu-J gave me some pork rib soup but I " modified" the soup by adding some Chinese cabbage and lemongrass .

Dinner Menu:

1. Chinese Cabbage and Lemongrass Pork Ribs Soup

2. Fruit : Loquat 

3. Dessert : Sweet Soup (  Tong shui ) - with Barley, Dried Longan,  Gingko , Lotus Seeds and White Fungus.

White Radish Soup And Winged Beans

These are red, green and white radish that we can get from the supermarket here.

But white radish is more common than the other two so  I usually buy the white one.

The easiest way for me to make soup is to use "abalone sauce" or anchovies stock granules. Sometime the combination of both. 

The radish  soup was made at 7.30pm.

But the dinner was 45 minutes later in order to make the radish soft.

Dinner Menu ：

1. Saute Winged Beans 四棱豆

2. Radish Soup with " Abalone Sauce"

3. Condiments - fried salted bean paste豆瓣酱, salted black beans豆豉,chilli padi, chopped onion and garlic + sugar

Some leftover radish soup would be a bowl of soup beehoon for my breakfast next day.

But somebody was looking for me and I was chatting with her for a while.

The soup had dried up and that's what you see now:)

Of Acar ( Pickled Vegetable) and Carrot Potato Soup

It's dinner time again.

It's another meal again.

Can you imagine that I didn't even need to cook any of these dishes here !

Dinner Menu :

1. Acar - Pickled Vegetables gave by my sister. It's a bit sweet but I added in some vinegar.

2. Fried Prawns - also from my sister. It tasted good ! 

3. Carrot and Potato Soup - from my neighbour , Yu-J.

Tofu and Tomato

It was almost 8pm when I started to prepare dinner. I was starving !

So, it had got to be a quick one.
The frying pan is big enough ( 10 inches diametre base ) to cook 2 things in. 
All right , I would just fried them together in order to save time and gas.
