Soy products and health foods

I love miso soup (it's made from soy bean). I can have it everyday, breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's very easy and convenient to make from the miso paste. Add some cubed silken tofu just before turning off the gas. Perfect.

I also love salmon. I can eat it everyday, breakfast, lunch and dinner. I eat it raw, grilled, broil, braised, fried, in fried rice, in omelet, in casserole. I eat it as snack, smoked salmon on crackers. I can even spread some miso paste on the salmon and grill it. I don't eat much other meat though. Maybe when I am invited by my Australian friends to their BBQ party, they are very into steaks and sausages.

I like green tea too. When I was young, my mum seldom had water at home, only green tea. She would prepare grean tea 3 times a day, very light ones for the young ones and normal strength for the adults. Now I also drink green tea much more often than water.

My family don't really eat much sweet food, so cereal/bread with jam/soft drink/most desserts and cakes are not really in our menu. I think it's good, none of my family members have any tooth decay problem.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think the rule is 'eat just what our body needs instead of stuffing ourselves with too much extra'. Most of us should count ourselves lucky to have so much fresh produce readily available, often a lot more than what we really need, when there are still a lot of people starving in some other part of the world.

I lived in Indonesia for 2 years, the food in the area I was staying was just horrible. The vegetable and fruits (very limited choices for us who has been staying overseas) in the supermarket look really sad, some even got mold growing on it (and yes they continue selling the spoilt food). A lot of expired packaged food are still being sold in the convenient stores. Some shop keepers try to erase the date, some just don't bother. The wet markets are even worse, trades are conducted next to piles of rubbish which you can smell from miles away. I had to prepare meals myself as everytime I eat out there I get stomachache, I don't know why, could be that I am allergic to some of the ingredients they put into the food or the hygiene of the food preparation process.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
