Reanaclaire Cooks - Not-So-Appetizing

Hot weather looming above Ipoh for the past many days already and I lost the battle to the heat... Was on medical leave for the past two days and still not fully recovered.  Despite being on medication, I do not really understand why I have a good appetite.  Thank goodness I did otherwise it would be "disastrous" time for me to stay at home and having oats all the time.  That is definitely sad news...

This morning I felt better but I gave myself one more day of rest before going back to the air con office and might get chilled again.  Since I was yearning for some hot piping soup,  my girl and I went for this special pan mee cooked with spinach....
The lady knows my request by now...
Less noodles... More spinach... 
Price is the same RM4 per bowl.... 
Was sweating profusely by the time I finished this hot soup.... 
For our afternoon tea break, I steamed two types of sweet potatoes.... 
Good enough for the two of us...
As for dinner.... one dish is enough for both of us...
Consists of capisium, tomato, carrot, big onions and some minced meat....
Taken with white porridge with carrots....
Not really appealing or appetizing but it will do ...
At least for me... for now....

    Your dish looks better than the pan mee! Throw sweet potatoes into the porridge - will make it very nice and sweet, sure to bring the taste to a whole new level. Nicer! (I would not use the purple ones though - the porridge will turn all purple!)

    feeling under the weather, guesd you better stick to things that are more "ching" instead lah.. maybe because of the weather and too many pre-retirement celebrations?? hahahaha.. anyway, get well soon!! :)

      You guess it right!! For a wai sik lady like me, I got to be very careful with my food intake.. simply weak to food temptations!

    I would love that piping hot noodle soup too. A nice meal to enjoy on a cooling day.

    And yummy. I love steamed sweet potatoes especially those Japanese one. Deliciously sweet.

    Hi Claire, you went to our favourite pan mee in town? Have not eaten it since I have retired. The sweet potatoes and porridge are good for me too especially in this weather.

    Awww, I am sorry, Claire. Did you have a heat stroke, oh NO!! You are always your own worst critic when you cook. I believe you are a really good cook from what I see!

    Your dishes look pretty good to me! Home cooked food of course does not look glamorous but it taste very good, But I don't like porridge hah..hah...Hope you get well and stay well. Many people seem to be falling sick around this time.
