Day 11 – Food

After living here for more than a week, we learnt how to cook ourselves because of the price here. A meal can set you back from 10 euro to anything up to 30 euro depending on what and where you eat it. A fair comparison would be the kfc. We had family fest for lunch today, it cost us 18.99 euro. In singapore, its $18sgd? Well, its technically the same price but different currency :P

So, most of the time we would look up recipe online and buy ingredient to cook. Its not hard at all because the washing up is by dish cleaner and most of the time, things which we cook are fairly easy to cook. Every utensils we need are available at the house, so we don't really need to get any. I usually supervise the cooking because I guess watching discovery Home and Travel helps? All the jamie oliver, Nigella cooking shows kinda help a bit here and there.

Until now, we haven't really screw up any of our dinner yet. So, thank goodness!

Our first night cooking dinner was quite an experience. Shavonne did a stuffed pepper with rice, roast chicken with stuffed vegetable and asparagus with garlic. Ya, it was quite a spread. We also had lemon cheesecake as dessert which we bought from the supermarket. I know, it's a lot of food but we cleared it all nevertheless with no left overs :D

After cooking for the first night, Caroline decided to cook dinner for us. It was SUPERB! I must say, she's one hell of a cook. There was meatball, vegetable rice, potato with white sauce, garlic bread and salad. I must say, compared to our cooking, hers are restaurant standard while ours are more like... TV dinner :P

We also had a very pathetic dinner. Scrambled egg with mee goreng maggi mee? :( That wasn't filling at all.

Thomas, the intern which caroline had for one month also cooked a german dinner for us before he left. It was very meaty and filling, I guess germans eat a lot of meat? Hmm.. P1010963

So, that would sum up how our eating habit is over here. Lots of meat and no rice or noodle which I am glad. Might be cooking Nasi lemak or Chicken rice for Caroline if we can find an easy enough recipe online. :D
