Hello [froggy]
Happy Lunar New Year.
I am glad that our doctor discovered your artery blockage soon enough to take remedial steps.
Please take steps to change your diet, reduce and thereafter stop smoking, as well as significantly reduce the consumption of alcohol.
My usual breakfast: an orange, a banana, spinach omelet, two slices of whole wheat toast with peanut butter, coffee.
Today's lunch: cucumber, tomatoes, avocado, and left over home made borscht.

Samakon market opens only on Saturday and Sunday. The stalls were moved to a carpark under temporary tents for a year and last weekend they just shifted back to the newly build structure on the old location.
Some stalls are still not opened

Many customers came to celebrate the CNY with friends and family
Sambal kangkong
Marmite chicken
Braised tofu with mushrooms
Long beans with dry shrimps
Cereal prawns
Fish head curry
Yam ring
It was a great dinner celebrating CNY with friends
You notice alcohol was absent, I've basically stopped drinking

One morning the 3 of us decided to visit the Redhill market for breakfast. We had the kwaychap from this stall:
That was really good kwaychap
We also tried the popular minced pork mushroom noodle from this stall
