Walk for Bread

We are not supposed to go near our elderly folks to keep them safe during this stay-at-home time but they needed us to buy some prescription medications for them and they also requested us to buy them a loaf of bread and some groceries. To ensure their safety, we wore masks and passed the items to them through the gate without entering their house.

In order to buy them a loaf of bread and some groceries, I donned a mask and walked (follow PH's example to walk since we don't drive) to the nearest grocery store near my house. There were just two loaves of bread left so I bought both, one for them (gardenia chocolate raisin at MYR 4.50 nett) and one jumbo Gardenia white bread (MYR 3.55 nett) for us. Normally, I don't buy white bread but since these two are the only left, I bought them. Since I am in the small neighbourhood commercial area, I bought takeaway food for the whole day from one coffee shop and also for them.

Saturday 11 April 2020 (d25). Lunch - char siew and siew yuk rice from a neighbourhood coffee shop at MYR 8 a pack. Both of us shared this for lunch.

Shared this bittergourd pork mihun (MYR 6.50 nett) for breakfast. Bought this mihun from our usual breakfast coffee shop.

 Chicken Wine Mee Suah (MYR 13 nett) for dinner so reheating it for sharing by two pax.

My portion of dinner. The mee suah has turned into kuih which I enjoyed eating cos I like doughy food.

No more stomach to eat the century egg deep fried pork intestine congee (MYR 6.50 nett) so both of us shared it for dinner the next day (Sunday 12 April 2020 d26).

*** Wednesday 15 April 2020 d29 ***

Yesterday I did not eat breakfast. At 12 noon I ate the last pack of large McD fries (of 3 large packs and 1 medium pack fries) from my fridge bought on  2 April 2020 Thursday (d16) which means that these fries have been in my fridge for 13 days.

After that at 12.30 noon, I ate the 2nd KFC chicken tender of 6 from my fridge with 2 slices of Massimo wheatgerm bread. These tenders have been in my fridge for 24 days since I bought them on Sunday 22 March 2020 (d5). Well there are 4 tenders left so one a day from today, I will finished eating the last one after it is in my fridge for 28 days. The flavours are still there but the texture is like jerky, still edible. I guess looking at how and what I eat, all of you must be counting your blessing that your meals are much, much better, right?

12.30 pm Not-My-Lunch of instant noodles with chicken flavour broth, char siew (15 days in the fridge) bought on 31 March 2020 (d14), little gem lettuce, and egg. Not-My-Breakfast is one Nam Heong egg tart, one Nam Heong chicken pastry and Reheated Nam Heong white coffee from yesterday at around 9 am.

7 pm, my dinner of milo and one slice of Gardenia wholemeal bread.

Delivery Egg Tarts

After reading about these delicious homemade egg tarts made by TM's wife, I had to go buy some egg tarts to eat. These 6 egg tarts (1 is inside a tummy) cost MYR 17.83 nett so one costs MYR 2.72 nett. They taste good.

These 6 chicken pastries cost MYR 22.39 nett. One costs MYR 3.74 nett.

Lunch and Dinner on Tuesday 14 April 2020 (d28).

Stay-at-home Combo Meal which includes a cup of coffee costs MYR 15.04 nett. The usual price is MYR 24.11 nett. I like that it is chicken breast. Both of us shared this chicken rice for lunch.

The coffee that is included in the above combo meal. I chose Hot coffee instead of a cold one. There was a bit of spillage which is quite ok.

Stay-at-home Dim Sum Deal at MYR 10.79 nett instead of the usual price of MYR 15.14 nett for two dim sum of your choice. I chose Char Siew Bao (BBQ pork buns) and Lo Mai Kai (Glutinous Chicken rice).

As usual, contactless delivery by GrabFood all the way from Nam Heong MyTown.

Order Time: 12.59 noon. Order Received: 13.40 nett.

I consider this timing to be very fast since MyTown is quite a distance from my place.

Total price is MYR 72.05 nett. Even the McD Combo Meal costs more than this but for both McD and this order, the food will last me for a few meals.

DTF Bento Box

4 prawns

 I use half a slice of bread to soak up the garlic "gravy" of the spinach.

 Deep fried vegetable pork wanton.

Lava bao. Next time I will put the lava bao into the fridge so that the fillings solidify to make it less messy to eat.

 Contactless delivery as usual. Please leave it in the blue box.

Order time: 10.40 am.
Received delivery: 11.30 am
Very fast delivery although I only paid MYR 1 nett for delivery via grabfood.

DIY Milo Slushy

 Now that I have milo, I made milo slushy using a pack of 30 g milo. I guess everyone knows how to diy milo slushy and has done it before.

 30 g of milo powder looks quite a lot.

Pour a bit of hot water, just enough to stir in the milo powder.

 Add cool or cold water until the hot milo is no longer hot. Put this drink into the freezer.

 After about 4 hours, the milo drink is now frozen but not fully frozen. I can easily turn the spoon that is embedded in the frozen milo.

Keep on stirring the spoon in the almost frozen milo to get milo slushy. Nice to drink during a hot day.

Reheat and Eat

I bought some noodles with braised egg and meat from the kway chap stall located at Million Ocean coffee shop on Friday 20 March 2020 as takeaway for MYR 8 nett and only ate it the next day so it was reheated in a pan over a stove and I ate it directly from the pan to save on water to wash extra utensils.

This rice was bought from the same stall too for MYR 8 nett on Tuesday 17 March 2020 and eaten on the next day so it was reheated too and eaten directly from the pan.

This pack of rice is also bought from the same stall on the same Tuesday at the same price but eaten on the same day during the evening directly from the fridge. It was cold but still edible to save from effort to reheat it. Or in other words, I am too lazy to reheat it because reheating is not done by me, I just eat direct from the pan but I will wash the pan.

McD Frozen Choc Sundae

11 am. Received these 4 items yesterday (10 April 2020 Friday d24) that we ordered online via the official Nestle store on Shopee on 2 April 2020 Thursday d16. Free delivery via pos laju so no complaints about the number of days it took to arrive.

I did not have milo at home for a long time and did not mind it until this stay-home time where I suddenly feel like drinking iced milo so have to buy it online from the official store because I got spooked by rumours that there is fake milo out there so hopefully the official store does not sell fake milo.

Milo kosong 30 g x 18 sticks (MYR 13.90 nett) and milo cereal 10 sachets (MYR 10 nett) are for me.

Nescafe Rich 19 g x 30 sticks (MYR 13.90 nett) and Nescafe Gold 50 g (MYR 10.50 nett) are for him. The nescafe coffee should be enough for 2 months for a cup a day.

The Nescafe Gold 50 g is the small bottle on the right corner. The 200 g Nescafe Gold bottle is empty and the other 50 g Nescafe Gold bottle is almost empty. The spritzer bottle is there for size comparison. Would buy Moccona instant coffee to try after stayhome time is completed since PH says it is nice.

Total MYR 48.30 nett with foc delivery via pos laju.

Contactless delivery - just leave the box on the car.

1 pm, lunch of McD Frozen Choc Sundae from the freezer, bought on 2 April 2020 Thursday (d16)

1 pm. My lunch: bread with a piece of KFC tender from the fridge bought on Sunday 22 March 2020 (d5) so I still have 5 tenders in the fridge now.

5 pm. Waiting for the delivery of medications from AA Pharmacy Taman Desa for the elderly folks  so got a request for McD so bought ala carte items because I don't want more fries in the fridge.
