YEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Okay this will be another weird post, about my likes and dislikes.
Back to food.
I don't really like bread.
I can hear some 'omg's in the distance.
I know its very common for us to eat bread everyday, during breakfast, recess, or maybe even supper.
In fact bread can be considered a necessity in our lives.
Since young, eating those white pieces of dough don't really appeal to me.
Whenever my mum buys bread, unless its those kind, 1 for $1.20 bread, I will leave them untouched.
But the thing is, she keeps on buying those in a packet, 6 for 2 dollars or somewhat. And those she bought don't really tastes nice. Some weird fillings like coconut, red bean, SWEET POTATOES (I am using caps not because I am excited, but because I think they taste like shit), kaya and so much more.
Alright coconut is still okay, red bean is nice in the form of ice cream, sweet potatoes...
Argh, I ask the uncle to remove it, along with tapioca whenever I eat buh-buh-cha-cha. Basically I am drinking coconut milk with ice, corn, and some jelly.
I always wonder why can't she buy hotdog buns or whatever that taste nice. Maybe curry I will consider but I have grown sick of that because I kept on eating it during my primary school days. Cheese too.
And the thing is, I also hate wholemeal bread, white bread (or whatever you call it).
During primary school, my mum, like other mums, allowed me to go to the canteen to buy food everyday.
But as the days went by, she realised that the noodles (the food that I always buy during recess), were very unhealthy because the soup was cooked with stock cubes and large amount of MSG.
She claimed that by looking at the soup, she knew what it contained, and she had a mindset whereby everything which tastes nice would surely have large amount of MSG.
Being young, I was innocent and gullible. So I believed her, and she made bread for me to eat during recess.
She would normally put jam, kaya, or butter. No egg, peanut butter, chocolate spread, or whatever.
For the whole of primary one, I was eating bread, everything was just about bread.
Breakfast - bread and powdered milk
Recess - bread
Lunch - (my grandmother cooks)
Tea - bread too. But luckily my mum had gone to work, and she would normally spread some peanut butter for me. Sometimes if I am lucky she will fry me a piece of chicken to go along with the bread.
Dinner - (my grandmother cooks)
So its like 70% of my life revolves around bread.
So during Primary 2 I became smarter. And more evil in fact.
During recess, I will throw away the bread and go and play catching. Sometimes I will save up some money and buy noodles.
Initially I was having so much fun. But soon I became guilty because I feel that I shouldn't let my mum's effort go down the drain. Plus she did it for my own good, she was scared that I would be dropping hair from eating too much MSG.
So I would take a few bites, then throw it away. Alright at least this is an improvement, now I take a few bites.
Sometimes I won't touch the bread at all. I bring it home, and maybe eat it for tea. Or maybe bring it home and throw away.
Sometimes I would keep it in my bag. Until a few days later when my mum dug it out. And she would scold me severely.
But luckily she began to be more open, and its not everyday bread anymore. Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays will be bread day, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays I would be allowed to buy food. Which is noodles, for your info.
During Primary 3 I am even more clever. I would bring the bread home, and give it to my brother.
Maybe that's why he ended up like that :(
But I cannot be blamed. Sometime when I was K2, I went home and saw my brother eating paper. Yes, A4 size blank paper.
And by the way, he was smiling at me and eating it at the same time. What a maniac.
Maybe I got so traumatised that whenever I have extra food, I would end up giving it to him. Perhaps if I hadn't done that he would be a slimmer person.
Nowadays, when my mum made bread for breakfast, I will finish halfway, and leave the rest on the table. That is during school days.
During holidays, I will eat the part thats nice, and throw the rest away.
P.S I know I mentioned a lot of "throw it away" or something along that lines, but bear with it.
Like for example, when she cooks egg and ham, I will eat the part of the bread with egg and ham, and I throw the rest away. Which isn't a very big area, compared to last time.
And normally she will also help me by removing the skin. You know, the brown brown thing at the edges of the bread.
Unless its French toast. That's the only kind of food made from white bread, that I actually find it nice.
If the bread isn't to my liking I will just drink milk.
Alright this shall be the end of my food post. I will try and blog other weird habits of me next time.
To finish off, I have decided to post a picture.
To my dearest Wai Kuong, I mean Zhi Kuong, for posting that I suck.
That's my hand by the way ;)
