RMCO Day 22 ~ Wednesday, 1 July 2020

Our beloved part-time helper of 8 years, Maria, finally returned to our home to work after more than 3 months! But her return ain't without any stumbling blocks.  Long story short, I am just so thankful to God that we can have her back working for us, though not everyday like she used to.

As part of our condo Management's SOP (which is in accordance with the Government's SOP), foreign workers must be legal and must have a clean bill of health with a Covid-19 swab test done before they can be hired or enter a premises. Thus, I had to bring Maria to the hospital to get the swab test done last week. As Covid-19 cases have gone down to almost zero now, fewer people are doing the test.   Thus, the cost of the test has gone down from almost RM700 to RM350 to RM320.  The result was out the following day.  It was nerve-wracking for me waiting for the test result.






Our dinner tonight:

Radish + carrot + mushroom + pork bone soup, braised Japanese pumpkin with dried shrimps, fried chicken spring rolls, steamed brinjal with fried garlic, sesame seeds and soy sauce and blanched lady's fingers.

And tea-time dessert of mung been sweet soup with stinky grass and sweet potatoes.


So delish and nutritious.  This Hong Kong sweet soup concoction is well known to expel heat and toxins from the body.

Organic stinky grass plant from the pot at our condo balcony.
