On Friday 5.nov.21, we went to a mall for about 1 hour from 11.29 am to 12.28 noon, parked for MYR 6 nett to buy a pendant gift which he doesn't think is a good idea to buy from shopee because it will be shipped from Penang. Friday is kid 1's day so he is ok to send and accompany me there since he asks me not to buy from shopee.
12.12 noon - noticed that they have this dark cubes of preserved ba Xian Guo so bought 4 tubs to stock up since they were out of stock since MCO started in 18.mar.20 at MYR 13.80 nett per tub. Previously
on 21.jul.21, I bought 2 tubs of dark ba Xian Guo wedges with fruit peel and 2 tubs of light ba Xian Guo cubes. All 3 taste slightly different but serve the same function.
He eats them regularly because he says they help his throat a lot, be it sore throat or phlegm.

Eight Immortals Fruit (ๅ
ซไปๆ Baxian Guo)– It’s a pulp made of dried orange peels and various herbs. The pulp is stuffed into fresh pomelo, grapefruit or bergamot skin (it really does look like a fruit – thus the name). Later it’s being dried and cut into pieces. Despite being sold in candy shops, it is actually considered to be a traditional Chinese medicine (which I didn’t know when buying it). It’s mostly used to treat cough and sore throat, as well as a remedy for nausea and indigestion. According to various descriptions, you shouldn’t eat more than 5-6 pieces a day though, since with higher doses it might cause diarrhoea (and believe me – it does).

12.08 noon - pass by Paul so stop and buy two items. No stomach space to eat them so they are in the fridge. I think the tomato olive bread has a lot of olive oil in it until the oil seeped through the paper bag.
The tomato olive bread in the paper bag.
Item 1 is a pure butter cake. I sure have high expectations of this cake so I hope I won't be disappointed when I eat it later.
While I was buying the gift for my friend, he went to Nam Heong to buy his favourite egg tarts as takeaway.
11.38 am - he bought nasi lemak for lunch to eat at home.
3 items only on his list.
He ate one egg tart immediately when we were back home and we're quite disappointed that the egg tart doesn't taste as good as the egg tarts from Starling Mall and MyTown branches.
He also bought these two crispy salted egg custard buns because he knows that I like to eat salted egg yolk custard buns. We ate one each.
Taste like doughnuts due to it being deep fried. He feels that it is a bit too oily but I am ok with it.
2.40 pm - the salted egg yolk custard inside the deep fried bun is still in liquid form.
6 pm - he ate all the remaining rice, meat, bean curd sheets and bkt soup from the previous day as his dinner. I just ate a small piece of meat and one piece of bean curd sheet because I am still full from lunch where I ate all the remaining
2.05 pm - I ate all the remaining chicken and rice from brew House kuchai bought on Wednesday, 2 days ago because I have forgotten about it on Thursday. I am surprised that I like the chicken peppery taste marinate.
