A new directive for this period of MCO dictates that, starting from today, only one person, which is the head of the family, is allowed to leave the house to get basic necessities or medication. It was quite a laugh to read many posts on Facebook about husbands' 101 questions on what exactly to buy after being sent out shopping. As today's Sunday and hubby does not need to work, he had to see to the supermarket shopping (for dairy products, etc.). I had also instructed him to pick up a few other items. True enough, there were pictures and messages sent over WhatsApp to enquire if he was on the right track. 😅
However, a shout out should be given to hubby dearest, who soldiered on well, especially when solo supermarket shopping is not his forte. He did not leave out a single item on the shopping list (except for bread, which was still not available), swept through the aisles fast and remembered to physically distance himself from other shoppers.
And for the rest of the day, he was kept busy, preparing some paperwork for the current health crisis.
For dinner, he was served :
 |
| Pongteh chicken |
 |
| Stir-fried broccoli with prawns |
Pongteh chicken is a classic Nyonya dish that simply means chicken and potato stew. It actually is a non-spicy dish, but my mum has always thrown in a couple of dried chillies. As hubby enjoys spicy food, I cannot omit them either.
