Self-coined term: riceosophy – a combination of words ‘rice’ and ‘philosophy’. Which really just mean the philosophies of rice. Don’t think too much into it, though. If I sound illogical or incoherent, I probably am. 😛 Here are some sayings I grew up with that are related to rice, each of which encapsulates the philosophies of life in its own unique way: Finish up every single grain of rice on your plate, or else whatever is left on it will resemble the acne/pimples on your future husband’s face. You don’t want that, do you? I’ve consumed more salt in my…

Nasi lemak for breakfast, with extra sambal on the side, and the extra ikan bilis (anchovies) and cucumber that I managed to sweet-talk the nasi lemak aunty for. Oh, and more gravy for the rendang. Yum. 🙂 Then I’d go about my daily activities and before I knew it, it’s lunch time. Between chicken rice and chap fan, I decided I prefer chap fan, with lots of greens on my plate and either sesame chicken, curry chicken, or sweet and sour pork. With probably just 3 spoonfuls of rice.Then comes tea time! My favorite time of the day. I’d drag…

Don’t know what to think. Or write. It’s one of those blanking-out days. Dazed in my own maze. Could it be the lack of nutrition? 0015: Had some coffee, and a piece of cracker with some butter on it.0200: Snacked on apple cinnamon fruit crisps, and lots of coffee (half a pot to be exact, by 3am I finished half a pot) 0445: Ooh. Coffee high by now. But what’s for breakfast? More coffee I guess, with some cereal in it. What. I ran out of milk okay. Oh and an orange. 1000: Taco truck outside the apartment calling my…

Andddd… I got another friend to guest-blog for me! Saved by the email again. 🙂  This friend of mine was trained under a reputable chef in Aussie (of whom I regretfully forgot the name) and was working with her for a while. Though she’s not in the food biz right now, I do hope she continues to hone her skills so she can cook me a six-star meal some day. *ahem, hint hint* 😛  Who knows, maybe someday she’ll own a restaurant (and I’d get free meals whenever I visit her). Hee hee. What a cheap friend I am! XD…

The homeless guy went missing for two days, and I found myself wondering where he had gone. Maybe he has another “spot”. Or maybe he went off on a ‘weekend trip’, to the beach or something, you know, for a change of environment. 😉 Everybody needs time-out every now and then. The homeless dude, myself. I’m getting a wee bit sick of the PB-pizza-cereal-noodle routine, so I treated myself out for a late night supper last night. 🙂 Ze list: 0150: Break time at work – salty fish fried rice, coworker’s “dinner” and but he was nice enough to share…

Long time ago I experimented a different way of eating cereal and came up with the oddest combination. It was a lot of fun eating it. Now I certainly don’t have the urge to eat my cereal that way every single time, but I wouldn’t say it tasted horrible either. Years later, I’ve yet again tried something new with cereal, and it’s definitely much better than the first ‘invention’. At the very least, it’s less odd. 😉 Yesterday’s food consumption:0130: “Lunch” break at work – had a Nutrigrain cereal bar.0150: Still on my break, had my boiled carrots and black…

It didn’t take a lot of persuading to get my ex-roomie to write me a food-diary post. She lives far far away from me now, so I have one less buddy to hunt for desserts and coffee. Actually, she was the only constant dessert buddy I’ve had over here–here as in the U.S. So now I’m down to none. 🙁 Anyhow. If you think what I eat throughout the day was weird, you should check out what she eats every day. 😛 With that said, I’m sharing with you my darling friend Chean’s food diary. You can take a sneak…
