Food For Thought

Two nights ago , we , my parents , Yatie , Mal and I went to the Homst Chinese Muslim restaurant in Taman Tun Dr Ismail  for dinner. We ordered steamed fish with garlic, chicken ,  fried squid , some vegetable and a tauhu dish. The three of us had a Ribena laichi drinks while my parents had barley. It was a nice dinner and they also have roast duck . So , the next time I can order a roast duck. It is RM 50 for a whole duck. I have forgotten about this restaurant and we had to go so far in Shah Alam to have one . Oh well ....

Yati is here for a short holiday from Dubai. Tonight Nas will be arriving with the children and Sadd will come on Saturday morning.  So there will be a wonderful  get together again . Jingga is trying to go out from the house. He was allowed to go out about two days and he is waiting patiently for someone to  let him out. His mouth is getting swollen and luckily , his antibiotics has not finished.   There is some left . He is now perched on the computer table staring out  at the  glass doors .How sad  and staring at me too  ...  Today my father had gone out early in the morning  to buy the groceries. My mother will be making  salted fish curry , or gulai ikan kering , kerabu , or salad with fern leaf with   cockles and bean sprout salad. Yummy !!!

My mother loves seafood , chinese ,thai, nyonya , vietnamese and most food around that region. My father on the other hand loves food from the Indian region and  the Middleeast . Most of the times we have seafood for my mother loves fish. I married a Pakistani man from the  Afghan descent who likes his food simple with lots of tomatoes and yoghurt. He loves lady's fingers and eggplant. So nowadays I cook using the medley of these items  with lots of bird's eyes chillies.
Today Yati, Mal,my mother  and I went to KL for some banking business. After a lot of deliberation we ended at One Utama for a late lunch. We went to an authentic Nyonya restaurant on the first floor of the old wing .There is the nyonya fare of  asam pedas , some chicken , honey squids and nice manggo salad. It was tasty treat from Yati. Then I went to Watson's  which has shifted their stores. It was bright and very nice. I was looking at Simplysiti  skincare and cosmetics and the various Japanese skincare. One that caught my eye was the soya bean cleansing cream and DHC products. Then I went to Jusco  and East India to look at the sale while Yati, Mal and my mother went for  their favourite pastime , gold hunting.

Another surgery

My cat will undergo another surgery today to remove  the metal in his mouth. The doctor said that his mouth will be not be as normal as the the deformity has taken a long time. He is now in the vet and I will take him this evening . I hope he will be alright.  It is quite alright to take care of him. He is in the room all the time and today and yesterday he wanted to run out of the house.

Kerdas , Jingga and Pho Hoa restaurant

My father had bought some kerdas for me to eat. It is like petai another  food to eat . This is comfort food for me but I do eat a lot when this particular fruit or vegetable is around. Kerdas is small bean like vegetable , it is dark brown in colour and green inside. It is crunchy and yummy but  it is safer to eat  on Saturdays for the working people for the aroma is unmistakable in the mouth and in the loo.

I have been nursing Jingga for the past week poor boy . I let him out one  morning after my mother said that he  was scratching at the door  and he wanted to be out. I should have held him instead. He left the house for two nights refusing to come in. Then on the the third day , he came back meowing. He was smelly and wet. We , my mother and I brought him to the vet the next day for a medicated bath. It turned out that he had high fever , flu  and had pus in his mouth . There was blood in his mouth on Sunday and I bought him to the vet again on Tuesday. He was healing  but his flu is still there . They could not take out the iron in his mouth just yet. Dr Mary gave me the energy powder  again. Today he looks fine. He has been sleeping in my room for two weeks. I hope he will recover , he has been eating again and I have to give him some ice water , the energy drink too.Tomorrow we will bring him for his weekly jab and his bath and  hopefully he is well.

Yesterday my mother brought me for lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant called Pho Hoa for vietnamese beef noodle. It is situated at the ground floor at the Curve , Mutiara Damansara . This is the first time I tasted real vietnamese noodle. The broth is clear and the serving is large. For a regular beginner bowl as they called it is RM 15.50 and we took Chinese tea and Vietnamese lotus tea which is refillable. The service is quick enough with a serving of beansprout and basil and a chilli paste. My mother could not finish hers so we took back.
It is nice the  noodle , perhaps I will come again but it is not  salty , perhaps I should  add more lime ? My mother likes vietnamese noodle after this I will show her how to make  a proper one via the  You Tube , she is very interested in computers and she wanted to learn how to use one. 
After that we went browsing at Metro Jaya . There is a very nice salmon linen dress at Somerset Bay . The price is RM 179.00. Normal price. Then there is the Aspara bags. Leather , very nice. After that some grocery shopping at Tesco.

Puteri Rembulan Skin care

I have been using Puteri Rembulan products for two weeks, namely the black soap ,day cream and night cream. As I have said I bought  the first two online and the other one at Semua House in Kuala Lumpur . Last Monday I just bought the moisturizer , a compress for pimple and a toner for normal skin at Semua House. It was my husband day off so I thought of going somewhere again.

I like this product , I did not use any other product . I don't mix. So far I see  that my pigmentation is  fading. I have been battling with pigmentation for two years. I am  constantly searching for the right product without going to a doctor or to a salon. Sometimes I am not sure what to use .I finally settle for this  particular product. It has been around for quite awhile. I remember buying a compact powder at Tesco Mutiara Damansara when it just opened  years ago . The night cream is 10gm and yellow in colour and gel like.  I like the day cream  which is smooth and not cakey .The night cream lasts about 14 days ,  there is tiny amount left.So I will be replenishing it again. There is the scrub and the cleansing milk which I have not bought yet.  The whole set for pigmentation and normal skin is RM 265 and for oily skin is RM 215.
