These are mini-buns that were on sale yesterday at Sobey’s. A whole fresh bagful of mini-buns at $0.99 cents. I got hungry last nite.. and too lazy to cook, so I had these two tiny buns.. with chicken salad but after eating them.. i was still hungry.. so i baked a hash brown for filler up. I missed those days.. where i can go downstairs to the mamak store and order a roti-prata with eggs.. and a teh. Or have chee-cheong fun and chwee kuay for a midnite snack. Even a char-siew pau is good… but nope..over here in Canada.. you just have to make it yourself at home.
Awesome Subway
This was my dinner on Monday. And yes.. I had dinner at about 8.20pm at the store. Usually we like to eat before going home.. so we can either concentrate on the brat or do housework. But as you can see.. the bread is broken.. in parts. The person who did this sandwich for me.. obviously knows and i wonder how she thinks i am able to maneuver the deli sandwich and eat it..??
Chomping the Corn
Last week was the first time.. Chloe had corn on the cob.. and guess what..?? this week.. despite eating half a bowl of noodles at Grammie’s for dinner.. she wanted her corn..! After having one.. she had abit of pepsi.. and then went to Aunt Helena’s for a treat.. and wanted some more corn..!!!
If you didn’t know.. you would think the brat was starved..! but it was really good to see her eat her corn.. another food that we can feed her.. without much hassle. And she was all proud .. she fed herself.. all her noodles.. and corn.. 🙂 What an attention seeker.. making sure… her Papa knows about it.
Chloe & Her First Corn On Cob
Fresh corn, freshly picked from Grampie’s garden and see this year.. Chloe is having her first corn on the cob. She kept saying.. “Yummmy..!! it’s good..!” so funny..!!
Give Me Tofu, Mom..!
You all know .. the limited ingredient I can get for cooking my chinese food here right..?? Yes.. yes.. i’m like a broken record.. and i should just keep quiet about it.. and make the best outta it. Anyhow.. like usual .. after coming back from the store.. today.. i took out whatever i can find in the fridge .. and started to prepare food for the brat. If you donch know.. my brat DOES NOT eat outside food..!! she only eats rice and noodles…!!!
Well.. i threw in some chicken.. and leftover beansprouts and shredded carrots and tofu.. and stir-fried them altogether.. with oyster sauce.. and have rice cooked for the brat. She started eating bean sprouts a few months ago.. and never protested if i cooked it this way.. and have lots of gravy.
Tonite while feeding her.. she said to me.. “Give me tofu, Mum..!!” when she didn’t see the tofu.. in her spoonful of rice and chicken..! Yes.. she will take her food.. if she has tofu.. and mushrooms..! If you have tofu and/or mushroom.. you can be assured that she will finished all her food. My in-laws cannot fathom what’s the reason for it.. and neither can i, but it’s a really good supplement for meat.. because she doesn’t eat alot of it. Can you tell me why she would love tofu this much..??
I Kid You Not – Part 3
This was my dinner last nite. I kid you not .. when i tell you .. i have nothing to eat here.. !! does this look appetizing to you ..?? I bet not..! This sandwich is from Subway.. I had an egg and ham sandwich.. because .. i really didn’t want tuna .. or a italian meatball sandwich .. too messy.. while at the store.
Everyday.. for lunch and dinner.. if we are at the store.. we are at a lost of what we should eat. Everyday.. PB and i.. asked each other the same “sian” question. “Wach you want for lunch/dinner..??” So for those who are thinking of migrating.. please.. please please.. make sure..you find a town that serves all kinda food.. and not like my “Ulu” town..! 7 years.. here..!! you can imagine.. how i feel about the limited food here..!! If it ain’t pizza.. it’s sandwiches.. if it ain’t sandwiches.. it’s mediocre chinese food..!!! Those in Asia.. be thankful that you are there.. because food are cheap and good there..! If i can turn the clock back.. PB would be going to Singapore with me.. !!!! muahahahhaahha!!!
You’ve Come A Long Way .. Babe..!
Chloe having 2 hashbrowns for breakfast at MickeyD .. yesterday. Normally, she has a real hard time finishing even one. She only loves her noodles and rice. But these days.. since the weather is so warm, and whenever we managed to get up early enough on Sundays, we try to bring her out to eat… so she can at least have some different food.. and not just home-cooked food. But yes.. she loves her tofu.. hates meats..and broccoli .. but would eat shredded carrots and bean sprouts.
Galores of Ice Cream
Yes.. they do carry Haagan Daas at the local supermarket here.. but not the one i like alot. Rum and Raisin is no where to be found in the whole of Y-Town … and not even in Halifax. See I told you i’m pretty deprived. Yer believe me now..??
She is Getting There
We went to Mickey D for breakfast last Sunday. We donch do it that often .. firstly because the brat doesn’t eat alot of outside food or new food. Yes.. i have to cook 2 different meals for her.. everyday. She eats .. rice and noodles.. ! noodles and rice.. and that’s about it. So i have to come up with a variation of different rice and noodles. And nope.. she only had instant noodles once in her 3.5yrs. So you can imagine.. how much headache i have. And secondly .. we donch wake up in time to eat out often for breakkie.. because the brat wouldn’t sleep at nite.. and wakes up .. umpteen times..! So we try to sleep as much as possible.. when we can.. to catch up on our sleep.. and we work 7 days a week too.
The Best I Can Come Up With
I’m sure you know by now.. that eating chinese food ain’t easy for me.. because you can only get so much ingredient .. from this town. So I’ve gotta improvised most times. Yup.. this is the closest chinese food.. i can come up with .. and cook.. and think i’m back home. 😉 with the ingredients i can get here.
