Day 42 Movement Restriction Order

Hubby finally went to a hardware store today.  He asked whether I need anything from the hardware shop.  I told him to buy netting for our windows.  We will do the replacement on our own since we have plenty of time at home.  Some of the old netting were torn by our cats.  It’s a good time to do some home maintenance work during this MCO.

Today we also received the order that we placed online yesterday from Everrise.


For breakfast, we had toast, egg, and beef curry.


For lunch we had mango sticky rice, and hamchipeng, both ordered online.

Day 40 Movement Restriction Order

We joined the 8am live broadcast Sunday Mass today.


We also harvested pineapple #5 from our backyard garden.  It’s not fully ripe yet, but the steam is too long and can no longer hold the fruit.  The fruit is mature enough, can eat half and cook half, we will see.

Today I ordered these chicken feet.  I love this chicken feet dish.  I am the only one eating these, the rest are not chicken feet fans.


For dinner, we had tapioca leaves, pork bone soup and chicken feet.


For supper, we had 2 plates of these keropok lekor.


A little dose of daily happiness today: neighbour gave us her freshly baked wheat bread again. We are going to have something yummy for our breakfast tomorrow.

Day 39 Movement Restriction Order

Today we finally received this pack of face masks from our beloved State Government, distributed by the local council.  We got ours at 3.40pm today.


Today I also noticed that a lot of items on Shopee no longer support free postage to Sarawak, some even does not deliver here anymore. Actually, I started to realize this a few days ago, but today I tested and hubby also said he experienced the same. Maybe the courier service cannot handle the high demand for now.  Sad.

For today’s breakfast, we ordered Laksa, ordered online.


For lunch, we had lamb curry with frozen canai.

For dinner, we had pork bone soup, ngohiang, and cabbage.

We had maggi for supper.

Today I also make Lepat ubi kayu. I have some ubi kayu in my freezer, and the gula kabong that I ordered 9 days ago from Shopee just arrived yesterday.  2 most important ingredients in making Lepat ubi kayu.  I love it, seriously everything I cooked turned out really well this MCO, thank God. Or maybe it just because we have not much choice so everything is tasty.

Day 38 Movement Restriction Order

Our 8-days old baby kittens.


Today, for the 1st time hubby make pancakes for breakfast, and his pancake looks more like a lempeng.  Well, I guess those are pancakes kampung style.

For lunch, I make babi kicap.  My children love this dish.  Been cooking it a lot lately.

For tea break, we had banana cake from my sister, and Japanese sponge cake from my neighbour.


For dinner, we had lamb curry, fried chicken, and cabbage with sweet beans.

For supper, I make cucur pisang.


Total of 5 meals today.  I am afraid that I might not be able to fit into my corporate shirt anymore.

Day 37 Movement Restriction Order

Day 37, PM just announced another extension until 12th May 2020.  I am not sure whether to be happy or to be sad.  In times like this, better not to be too emotionally involved, just go with the flow, pray, and stay safe.

For breakfast today, I make pancakes.

For lunch, we had KFC. Yes, today is payday, let’s order some KFC.  Kids’ choice.


I make cucur pisang again this time for a tea break.  I am out of pisang tanduk, so this time I use pisang montel.  I was divided between making cake or cucur, I picked the foolproof option, buat cucur je la, confirm sedap.

For dinner, we had pork bone soup, ngohiang, mixed veggies: cabbage, broccoli, carrot.



Day 36 Movement Restriction Order

Day 36 and that's how long it takes for us to finish up 1 bag of 10kg rice.  I open that new bad of rice on the 1st day MCO.  Now I know how long it takes for us to finished that 1 bag of rice if we eat at home (cooked) 90% of the time.  Before this 1 bag of rice can last for from 6 months to a year, because we eat out 90% of the time.

For breakfast today, we had toast with lamb curry.  So good. I can get used to these kind of breakfast. Milk for Emmett, tea for the rest of us.

For lunch, we had pork soup.

For dinner, we had tauhu sumbat, ngohiang, pork soup, and cabbage with lots of black pepper just like how they did it in Teppanyaki. Huhu, I miss Japanese food.



For supper, I make cucur pisang, enjoy it with hot tea while watching Kdrama on Netflix.

Day 35 Movement Restriction Order

Day 35, for breakfast today,  I make fried noodles with cangkuk manis.  Would be better if I have mee hoon at home, but it’s ok, this Lee Fah noodle would do for now.


For lunch, we ordered from Pizza Hut.

For dinner, I cooked nasi brayani, kids friendly version, fried chicken and lamb curry with lots of carrots and potatoes in the curry, hope those count as veggies.

Fruits, we had papaya and banana today.

A little dose of happiness daily: got these yummy fresh cinnamon rolls from my neighbour.  I really need to learn making bread and buns, falling in love with the taste of fresh buns.  My neighbour has spoiled my tastebuds with these yummy bakes. Haha.

Another Monday, another new week.

I miss grocery shopping, I miss the colorful fruits and veggies at the markets. Sabar lah wahai hati.

For breakfast, we ordered laksa.

For lunch, we had char sio rice and pak lor rice, which were delivered together with our laksa this morning.
