I am getting bored of the food. So far I ate the following food (the best
on the left, the worst on the right).
- Burgers : In-N-Out, Arby's, Burger King, McD
- Sandwiches : Togo, Subway
- Rice : Indian Curry Lamb Rice, Fried Rice with chicken, Rice with
beef teriyaki, Chicken Teriyaki rice.
- Microwave/Instant Food : Fried Chicken, Salisbury Steak, Fried Rice,
Maggi Mee, Rice with pepper beef.
- Misc : Haagen Daaz Coffee, Chocolate, Pizza, Corn, and a few others.
So, I started to cook to experiment with the right combination of ease and
taste. So far, no full fledge cooking. Just some simple things to test out
with minimum fuss. The reason being, I cannot go out and buy tons of spices
and sauce and rice cause it will be a waste. What am I going to do with few
KG of rice, spice and food when I going home?
As you can see from my shopping, everything is simple. Taste good? Dunno:P
Shopping.........US14.76. Let's see. Some butter
with peanut butter for the bread I bought. Some instant food to last
some time. Red Beans and corn to add to my other meals. Ice cream-
Yumm.. And roughly 800grams of salt(US0.39). Cannot find smaller quantity.

More shopping. you can see the bread, cooking oil, some eggs, some
meatballs and 3 instant food. All these were bought roughly 2 weeks
ago. The meatballs are finishing, the bread no more while the instant
food consumed. Luncheon meat also finished. Bought replacement today.

My meal. Small serving of steak. I did not do my maths properly.
Didn't know the steak shrinks. Heheh, well still filling since I added
toasted bread. The steak was kinda salty, guess too much salt. A cup
of apple juice to round it up.

This is how microwave food looks like. I was surprised that it tasted
so good. Seen here is Salisbury steak with some potatoes, veggy and
apple dessert.

Instant food by themself can be quite bland. So occasionally, I add
fried egg, or red bean or some meatballs just to add more taste and
flavour to it.

More fried rice. This one is with some black pepper beef, but apparently,
they was too much sauce so its all red. Added in a fried rice.

This is the pack of instant fried rice before it is cooked. Some
rice, with stuff inside, some oil. Just add water and pop it in the
micro. Wait 4 mins and its done. Convinient eh? Miracle of technology.

Well, when I am buzy, I just go downstairs, pop some coins and get
some food from the vending machine. This pizza cost me US2.00. Not
very worth your money, but hey, not all food are easily accessible.
It was cold and dark outside.
