A decent home cook meal
Although I can cook well, I haven’t been touching my cooking oil at home since 3 months back. My nausea is bad that I haven’t been able to tolerate any cooking smell. Can you imagine how torture it is when one of my neighbours fried a fish or cook their sambal?
It is so bored eating out all time so we sometimes boil and steam simple dishes at home. Ways of doing it:
Vege: just boil and eat
Chicken thigh: steam with soy sauce or salt
Soup: I can only stand soup with simple boiling without strong smell
Before this, I cannot imagine myself eating such “healthy” food when Jazmine told me she is eating this daily. Hubby was concern about the nutrients we are all getting, but hey, besides oil and salt, aren’t we getting the nutrients right?
So, when my mum was here on Christmas holiday, we at least had some “stir fried” decent home-cooked food.

Poor QQ hasn’t been eating well since we ate so simple these days. See how happy she is smelling those food from the table.

Pity my dear girl, even a mouthful of plain rice with the stir fried vege from grandma can taste so good!!!!
Oh, Grandma, can you please come and cook for us again ah?




Love home-cooked meals! Your spread looks so delicious!!! Yes, mummy’s cooking is still the best.
