See why I can’t drop below 87.5 kg? Chocolate biscuits for tea-time. Meiji’s Yan Yan Dipsticks and Hello Panda Biscuits. I grew up eating Yan Yan Dipsticks and will occassionally buy one now and again.
Ok, have to seriously stop. LOL! Even once a day is already bad…
But, just realized that Yan Yan Dipsticks are good for teaching children how to read. Haha!
I saw some edible flowers in a pack at Cold Storage, Green Heights Mall, Kuching, Sarawak. So bought a pack and made a salad. This is what’s inside that salad. Certainly tasted better than what I had expected although hopefully the flowers are ok to be eaten. These flowers are grown in Genting and surprisingly, came out tasting really well. The only flowers that I recognized were pansies and chrysanthemums. The problem with flowers in salad is that they should be added in last as the petals started peeling off after mixing. Found that out the hard way.
-celery
-carrot
-tomato
-pickled pear/mango? Not sure. Stole it from my Uncle’s stash in the fridge
-edible flowers that included pansies, posies and chrysanthemum
-Dill
-Lemon juice
-Pepper
-Nutmeg powder (seems to make a lot of difference)
-Raisins
This is how I do it. Very very simple and amazingly, a lot of food as well.
Before packing, I prepare the food and leave it to cool to room temperature on the table. So we have fish, tofu, mixed rice and veggies.
After packing, the filled containers looks like this.
And this is the leftovers that I had after packing. These will go into the fridge and repacked tomorrow for the next day’s breakfast + lunch meals. 🙂
This was breakfast. Leftover dinner meal of french bean and squid. The french bean was cooked with garlic, stir-fried. For the squid, Granny cooked it with a bit of Lea and Perrins sauce with onions.
The rice was heated up and then mixed with blended nori seaweed and I think I threw in some deep fried shallots as well as some black sesame seed. I think I also added in some pepper for taste. The veggies are mustard greens (Chai Sim) and Chinese broccoli (Kai Lan) that was boiled with Mirin sauce. Came out tasting sweeter than I had expected.
Well, boiled egg tofu and poached Curry Mackerel. I mashed the Curry Mackerel just to see how it would look like if it was like so. Ok, not so successful in making mackerel sprinkles and am going to follow the Japanese cooking book instructions of slow fire to dry it up.
And there you have it. One of my lunch meals. Small portions but variety.
Found at Parkson, The Spring, Kuching, Sarawak. It’s cheaper than the bento lunch jar that I got about a few months ago. The above set was going for RM64.90. Which, I might add, was significantly cheaper than the RM250 pricetag for the Tiger Bento Lunch Jar. Now that one is just highway robbery.
Lazy blogger blogging about breakfast. 🙂 This one was a few weeks old now.
It’s just plain omelette but with a lot of vegetables inside it. I think I had chopped onions, chopped garlic, sliced celery and also some chai sim (mustard green) stems that were chopped. Oh, I also had babycorn added into it as well.
The omelette came out tasting pretty sweet, surprisingly. Probably from all the veggies. I think I used 2 eggs for this one, to try and make the bulk of the chemicals stick together.
So, healthy breakfast. 🙂 With no heavy carbs in it. 🙂
