Covid-19 MCO : Day #34 (Sambal Belacan Nyum! Nyum!)

Anybody loves sambal belacan? With sambal belacan, fried fish and vegetables, I can eat two plates of rice. That was in the past lah, now I limit my intake of rice (except during my cheat days).

This is today's makan. Sambal belacan, fried tempeh, vegetables and fried fish.

I failed again with fried fish. Not consistent.

Fish #1 was decapitated and lost its skin. Fish #2 fared better. I think I did not wait for the oil to become hot enough. Very impatient.

French beans and the last bit of my cabbage. After this I don't want to see cabbage again.

I was so rajin, I deep fried some tempeh. 

I meant to make sambal tempeh with ikan bilis and potatoes but that was too much work. Next time lah.

Before I started cooking, I made the sambal belacan first, pounded by hand using my trusty mortar and pestle. 

Fatty relaxing outside, maybe waiting for her boyfriend to show up.

Today I embarked on a minor redecorating in my living room. Before the Chinese New Year, I sort of revamped the placement of racks, dining table and furniture in the kitchen, dining and living room. It made a world of difference, I felt "lighter".

Fatty was a little confused.

In fact a few weeks before the MCO, I thought of swapping the placing of the two seater and three seater sofa. It was motivated by my cat because she was now more in favor of the two seater. But I did not have the time.

So today, I did what I set out to do and at the same time, I had the cushion covers washed. They were already washed before Chinese New Year and thanks to my cat, I had to do it again.

My cat got a little anxious seeing the furniture all over the place. Meow!

A little later in the afternoon, she demanded for food.

Eh, I already gave you a snack just now! She gave me that muka masam look.

Then she turned on the charm. How can I resist that face.

She is very persistent, so I gave her a very small amount of kibble, just enough to satisfy her need for some munchies. Once she was happy, she asked to go outside. Bye!

Her Ah Boy did not show up but I caught sight of him a little later, sneaking around in my garden.

This is one of the things my cat likes to do. Instead of scratching the sofa, she decides to scratch my heel. Ouch! Pain ah!

Eh, what is this? Mommy's feet smell nice like fish is it? 

Tomorrow, I don't want to cook. Hmm...what shall I order?
