I don't know how to describe my Lent.
I noticed that I was still lacking on certain parts especially when it comes to pray. That's so me.
Gosh, tried to add emoji, but the emojis won't upload because my internet connection is weak.
Life is good. Hopefully it will be good all the way till the end of 2020.
There are flaws too, I just couldn't deny. And I don't want to talk about it.
But, mmm, we'll get thru it. I'll get thru it eventually. I hope it goes the same with you too.
Optimism booster is at the max.
My anak tekak meminta kopi dari tadik. I already have 500ml iced coffee this morning. Am in the midst of trying to reduce my coffee intake, but it doesn't seem to work.
I tried, I failed. Repeat. Now, am giving it a try. Again.
Today, am gonna upload all my Friday menu during Lent. Abstinence and fasting. Except for I didn't take any photos of my food that I had during Ash Wednesday. I didn't eat anything. Just had water all the way.
Let's start!
This time I won't be translating the dish menu. Google if you want to know their names in English. If you need the recipe, email me.
First Friday
Fried bean curd, tempoyak goreng and sayur cangkuk manis goreng telur
Second Friday
Sayur sawi pahit goreng ikan bilis and fried chili fish
Third Friday
Sayur midin goreng belacan, sayur paku uban rebus halia and fried fish
Fourth Friday
Kasam daun ensabi (local kimchi), ikan bilis goreng kicap, sayur timun masak manis, sambal belimbing tunjuk, daun bandung goreng, and fried chicken for the family (since the rest of family members are Muslims, am the only Catholic here. Hehehe)
Fifth Friday
Iced coffee and rice with kari ikan pari
Owh no vegetables since the kari already contain vegetables (eggplants and carrots)
Dinner on fifth Friday
French toast
Sixth Friday
Rice with kicap pedas Mahsuri, fried egg and mixed vegetables
Good Friday!
Yeay!
This time, I didn't cook. These were all ordered foods from my favorite restaurant.
Thank you, After 4 Four Kopitiam!
After Four bean curd special, sayur cangkuk manis goreng telur, sweet and sour fish fillet, and Thai fried chicken fillet for the rest of family members
During Fridays on Lent I normally had one full meal with no meats. It would be lunch or dinner. Then, the rest of the day, I just took lots of water and had something light.
Well, this year Lent was tough. The celebration also was so different than last year.
Covid-19 has changed everything including our lifestyle, our norms. Literally everything.
Hopefully things will get better soon. Pray for everyone safety.
Owh, extra extra. I only managed to make these two during Lent.
Sweet corn castard
Mee pok goreng kerang
Ok. Bye!
