I count myself super blessed to have special feast on Saturday. Yesterday was rather unusual because we got to feast on Aunt's food during lunch and my husband bought us pizzas due to special on-going promotion. Food always tastes yummier when it is not my own food, haha!

Lunch At Aunt's

My tuition which was usually in the morning had changed to morning, so when I went over to Aunt's place, I got to savour the food properly without needing to rush. She cooked for us sumptuous lunch again!

Lean Pork with Purple Cabbage

At one glance, I thought that was black fungus, then she told me it was purple cabbage. She improvised it by herself. She said cabbage at least had some sweetness, but black fungus tasted rather bland. Therefore, she preferred to cook this dish with purple cabbage rather than black fungus. It was one of her signature Hakka dish, cooked with soy sauce, oyster sauce and a hinge of red fermented tofu. She dared not put too much of the fermented thing in case the boys did not like it. This dish was so appetizing, it tasted just like my Mom's, except my Mom used black fungus. Yums!

Pan Fry Chicken breast fillet

Our favourite, oo-la-la! She would cut the chicken breast thinner, became like somewhat chicken chop-fillet. Marinated them with salt and pepper. Then, coated them with flour, egg then, some breadcrumbs. Then pan dry instead of deep fried. Super duper delicious. Like the best chicken nuggets, but bigger version. Another Yums!

Mixed vegetables with prawns

A must in her mixed vegetables were prawns. She said prawns gave that flavour which made the dish super flavourful, which without, the dish would not be tasty. She was right. No wonder my mixed vegetables always somehow lacking in certain taste. She used cauliflowers, broccoli, and carrots this time. A simple mixed vegetables with soy sauce and oyster sauce but very yummy. She always put so many big juicy fresh prawns.

Sumptuous Dinner at Home

D for Domino's Pizza

We supposed to have pizza for dinner, sponsored by my brother. He wanted to bring his whole family to our place for pizza dinner to celebrate Jansen's birthday, but unfortunately, last minute, this plan had to be cancelled due to his youngest daughter had fever because of flu. However, the boys had been looking forward to eat pizza. Husband was so caring and being generous, to still bought back pizza for us after a whole day's hard work. The boys were beaming with joy. There was some promotion going on and so it was a good deal. Husband bought beef pepperoni, chicken feast pepperoni, smoky beef and chicken and classified chicken. The promotion came with sides too, which he chose wedges and garlic twist.

Q Bistro Mamak

Husband knew I needed some red meat due to some tiredness in body, and weakened lungs. Whenever I had hectic week, I had this tendency of having rush cough because I forgot to take proper breath. I was so touched when he made another visit to another place to pack a briyani rice of with beef rendang and chicken for me. The portion was big, and of course, we shared the food. It was so good, that I wish to eat this again when I type this now. I am going Q Bistro mamak soon.

Many times, my heart is again and again filled with gratefulness. We are not rich, in fact facing some financial tightening, but occasionally, we got to feast especially on special events or on special family time together. On other days, we really try to be thrifty and and to spend wisely. So, I count myself blessed, or I am looking all out to count every little blessings, even on the loaf of bread daily with my coffee. Or even give thanks for that one piece of soda cream biscuit with my coffee. Love!
