Day 34 ... Chicken with Rice Balls

CHICKEN WITH RICE BALLS

Left Carol's place in Segamat at 11am.

Stopped by along the road on the way to buy some durians home. This would be the last time we get kampung durians at this price from this place, we thought. However, our experience left a bitter taste in the mouth, when the 5 men who were at the durian started to hassle us to buy this, buy that one, shoving the durians in our faces with their, this one good, this one also good, etc ... and was aggressive to the point of becoming a pain in the you-know-where, in their way of pushing their durians. Quotation of prices also went berserk. Very, very - impolite.

So we bought 4 durians and got out of there. In the car, still felt like "tak shiok" (hokkien say, boh kam muan) so, I suggested we stopped by Malacca to have chicken rice balls for lunch. That lightened up our spirits and soon we were looking forward to lunch in Malacca. That corner shop right at the start of Jonkers Street is always filled with patrons. Weekend we can understand, but week day too??? The chicken is boneless and tender, and the rice ball is a favourite delicacy. Tapau-ed back for Bryan and Justine. :D

Dinner was ... No need to say lah. 

What else ... :D

There's just something about kampung durians 

that drives You a lil - insane ... :D

To Sum Up

Today was the first time, I did not take The Green Drink. I was not at home and had in fact forgotten about bringing a shaker of the powered drink powder along with me. So I had instead, Wan Tan Mee (breakfast) in a coffee shop in Segamat which was actually quite nice, Chicken with the Rice Balls (lunch) in Malacca which was absolutely Yummy! And Kampung Durians (dinner) back home in KL. :D So there ... That's my little adventure for the day. :D

Day 32 ... Durian Feast!

This evening, Carol brought home some durians from Segamat. 

So guess what we had for dinner??? 

Was glad that Hayley could join us though 

I sms-ed her at the eleventh hour.

Would You look at that? Every single one is creamy and is what the King of Fruits should taste like ... Texture is perfect. Soft and smooth. Learned from AFC that the correct way to eat durians is to suck up the flesh. We ate with rice, and sugar-salt-santan water. Didn't know how to do the glutinous rice and didn't have time to check. The seeds are flat and small, which means more flesh. :D The better species.

We had 2 friends from Singapore who was tied up with their friends in town, and couldn't make it for dinner. So, we ended up with 2 packets of durians left. That would be Justine's lunch today. :D

Hayley is drinking water from the husk ...
She also bought red bean and corn flavour
POTONG ice-cream for dessert ... :D

Carol drank like 10 times from the husk. Says she was having an appointment tomorrow (Monday), which I am supposed to accompany her, and she doesn't want them to know what she's been eating the night before. Can so understand what she means.

LUNCH

After a whole month (July) of eating and cooking at home, told Bryan after church this morning that we should celebrate by going to our favourite Pan Mee Noodle coffee-shop for lunch. The noodles are homemade and the sambal sauce is out of this world! The restaurant's called JoJo at Kuchai Entrepreneur's Park. A must try is the Lat Jiu Pan Mee (the above). A favourite of Justine and Daniel's too. Jus was literally screaming that we went without her - she was at class then - and we didn't tapau for her bc Bryan doesn't like to tapau noodles when they would just clump up by the time you wanna eat them. We promised her we'd take her there this week. :D

After not having outside food for a whole month, the back of my throat felt a bit raw and tender after the spiciness. Never used to have the problem. So popped some BioGarlic pills for the anti-inflammatory effect, and VivaShield anti-oxidants, to make sure I don't wake up with a sore throat tomorrow rmoning. Took The Green Drink for tea time today. :D My trusted assurance that I'm doing the little that I can daily to keep the body clean. :D

To Sum Up

1 shake & 2 meals

No juice. Fruits. Water.

Day 23 ... Rice with Durians

Carol brought some durians back from Segamat today. 

So, guess what we had for dinner? Oooh ...

The flesh was unbelievably soft, creamy and bitter-ish. 

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ...

This is my bowl of rice with durians.
White rice mixed with some salt-sugar water.
Supposed to take with coconut milk but Grandmother
taught our family to take durians the healthier way.
Out of this world, the durians were, honestly. :D

Justine didn't want her fingers to smell of durians
because tomorrow she's attending a function. :D

After a hearty durian feast, we all drank water from the husks. Bryan never used to do that, but through the years, he would notice that my sisters, the kids and I never had any problems with sore throats or heatiness after durians, when he did. So, when You can't beat 'em join 'em.

Today, I had my shaker of The Green Drink in the morning. 
Yesterday's biryani for lunch. And durians for dinner. 
2 meals. No juice. Fruits. Lotsa Water.
