Covid-19 MCO : Day #25 (Fried Fish)

It's Saturday today. Is it? Nowadays I have to look at my phone to make sure that I got the day right hah..hah... This morning I read in the papers that an additional list of businesses are allowed to operate during the third phase of the MCO.

Among them is hair salons. That's great, right? Imagine being shaggy haired. Cooped up at home. Depressed. Badly needing a haircut.

I took a look at the standard operating procedure and some of it might be a bit hard to comply like no. 7 and no. 8.

I don't think I will be going out anytime soon for a haircut. I will just manage, shaggy haired and all.

Today I ate fish. I am not much of a fish fan but this MCO is making me want to eat different things. By the way, did you put on weight, ah? The first 2 weeks I actually lost weight.

I think it's because I ate home cooked where I can control the ingredients and the portion size. There were no temptations of side orders (hah..hah...) and no desserts to be had (too much work to prep desserts).

Also I move around more at home - gardening, housekeeping, going upstairs and downstairs, chasing my cat, etc. But after the 2 weeks with too much time on my hands and too much TV, I developed a case of itchy mouth and started craving for donuts. And it is so easy to get donuts. I just tekan-tekan my phone and 30 minutes later, donuts arrive. 

So. I am putting a stop to all this. Instead of ordering donuts, I ordered fish yesterday.

This is via Grabmart. Now I can get stuff from the TTDI market. I had no idea what ikan parang is like (but I know it is used to make keropok) and I chose that just because it was sold in slices. Regret. Because it had many, many fine bones.

Eeekss!!! Not easy to eat. As soon as I sat down to eat, my cat immediately came to me. So I gave her some fish but made sure to remove the bones.

This is my lunch today.

Fried eggs. Please don't judge. Thank you.

Fried fish, mangled beyond recognition. Again, please don't judge. Thank you.

Stir fried ladies fingers. This one looks decent.

And of course, kayciap with sliced shallots, chilies and a good squeeze of limau kasturi. Since kayciap is very sweet, the acidity of the limau kasturi balances it off very nicely. I enjoyed my lunch immensely!

Since according to TM MCO stands for Make Compost Overnight, I had a whole lot of materials to add to my compost pot.

More home cooking means more stuff to dump into the pot.

Then cover with soil.

This is my avocado seedling.

I promised my cat that I will not take photos of her. Nowadays, when I point my phone at her, she will look away. I fulfilled that promise today.

Actually I made that promise yesterday, but broke it when she presented herself like this :

And then like this :

She had another vomiting incident yesterday.

It looked like p**p. Yuks!

Then she coolly walked away, leaving Mommy to clean up the mess.

She also kacau me when I was having dinner in front of the telly. So I let her smell the unsuitable food. It worked heh..heh...
