Dinner at Thai Food Cafe

A few doors away from Tan Jetty, is a popular Thai Food cafe hidden along a small road. Above is the ambience of the place where is it usually packed with diners, but don't worry, there will always be an empty table or two for the taking.

This is the chicken 'lorbak' or spring rolls with cut vegetables and chicken inside which were deep-fried to taste. The outer layer covering the ingredients was crispy.

Above is Chinese kale stir fried with oyster sauce and minced garlic. This is one of my favourite dishes.

These are the remnants of white tomyam soup. If you order the red tomyam soup, it is spicy with red oil floating on top which is the usual tomyam in any Thai restaurant. White tomyam does not have the red oil and you could request for less spiciness if they put less bird's eye green chilly.

The liquid is finished and you can see that they put lots of herbs and minced garlic with lemongrass and lemon leaves, etc. It is one of the signature dish not to be missed.

Here is fried meehoon with prawns and shallots (fried onions). The dishes are enough for 2 persons, where I dined last night with my partner. Thai food is popular amongst the locals for its unique spiciness and ingredients like lemongrass that is ubiquitous of the food.

If you come out from the small road into the main one and a few doors away is Tan Jetty, where you can find another gem; a different Thai food café with ‘kelong’ and a good seaview. But parking is limited to about 5 cars.

Read the book of Proverbs

I woke up at 4am this morning and switched on the lamp to read the Bible. There are 31 chapters of the book of Proverbs, 1 chapter for each day! It contains lots of pearls of wisdom and right believing which will lead to right living. I have always read Proverbs for a long time for its timeless wisdom that spans through the centuries and it is God-breathed word from heaven. For instance, it tells you to follow the habits of the ant, storing up food in summer for winter and a lazy hands will lead to poverty. Another, too much sleep also leads to poverty. And don't make companions of prostitutes, or you will squander away your wealth. It has short stories that we can easily relate to and identify to our daily lives. This is so that our lives will be smooth sailing guided by the Holy Spirit.

Skipped Church Today to Write

Today, I skipped church service and decided to write and do charity at the same time in the comfort of home. I found a blogging or rather writing opportunity online and had already written 9 articles for USD 5 per article of 250 words minimum and 3 photos. For charity, I will donate USD 1 per article to any establishment of my choice like Doctors without Borders, National Kidney Foundation, orphanages and other charities. My second sister in UK just ran 5km to raise funds for cancer research by getting herself muddy, having to climb ropes and slide down an inflated giant slide for the fun of it while doing some charitable work. She also used Facebook to raise the cancer research funds and managed to collect Great Britain Pounds of 300 together with her course mates.
