Breakfast at Aunty Mag's house

I slept over at Aunty Mag's house last Friday night and the next morning we had this amazing breakfast with friends.
The super duper active dogie, Benji, he is such a pretty boy.

Multi-fruit bread.

Sarawak icon, kek lapis or layer cake. White one is cheese favor, yellow one is durian favor and the black one is prune cake.

Japaneses pancake, taste nice.

Crispy pancake? I have no idea how to translate the name (sweat).

A day in Paddy field with my dad

When I back my hometown for Chinese New Year, I took a visit with dad to his friend's paddy field. It was a blessing cloudy day, most suitable day for out walking and take photo. It's amazing to see endless paddy field and enjoyed the warm wind. ^^

It sure know where to find food (steal the ripe paddy).

A resting point for the dragonfly.

Wild flower, quite common.

Cangkok manis, local vegetable, that's the seeds.

Besides paddy, they also plan sugar cane for sell.
