No Water. So Eat What?

I was so angry as were everyone else in the Klang Valley who were affected by the unscheduled water cut which happened on Thursday. 

I was at work when I received a message from Air Selangor on my phone. That's when I checked the office tap and yup, water pressure was very low. Crap!

That meant I couldn't do my laundry and I wondered how long this water cut would last. It was a good thing that I changed my mind about making kimchi over the weekend or else I would have been stuck with the ingredients. That would have been very frustrating. My plan to food prep was also scuppered. Grrr!!!!

The next day, Friday, I was at home and there was still no water. Worse, I read the news that it might take another four days for water supply to be restored. WHAT???!!! This is OUTRAGEOUS!!!

Since I couldn't cook (I had planned on making a chicken noodle salad), I had to eat whatever edibles that was in the house.

I had frozen bread in the freezer and hard boiled eggs in the fridge.

So it was an egg sandwich for lunch.

With a drizzling of smoky thousand island dressing.

I also ate an orange and a banana.

Got dessert some more hah..hah... This red bean tong sui was also in the freezer. See, I won't go hungry in the house.

Then for dinner, I decided to indulge in my current obsession - heong peah. Ordered via Lazada,

This used to be my late grandma's favorite biscuit. Somehow I was not that fond of it when I was a child.

But now I seem to love it.

Fortunately for me, water supply was restored yesterday evening (Saturday). I was at the office, rushing a deadline and being careful not to waste water in the toilet. I was very concerned that we might run out of water and that would be a disaster.

I had to eat. So I went to Pho Vietz@The Starling. Many restaurants and coffee shops outside the mall were closed.

I am glad to note that lately the drinks are not too sweet. 

This is supposed to be braised chicken leg. But nope, it was a fried chicken leg covered with sauce. I'm afraid I did not like it.

That evening my partner and I had dinner together and when we got home, I heaved a sigh of relief when I found that my kitchen tap was flowing again.

So today, I cooked kimchi stew with pork belly and had an enjoyable lunch.

So if you would excuse me, I need to go organize my laundry.
