Fast food and chips

April 10, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Dearest Gabriel,

I guess all children like chips. However mummy seldom bring you to McDonald’s, KFC and all fast food stall because mummy hope you can develop a healthy mindset, have a healthy eating behaviour. When you grow up you can have a healthy body. Without healthy body, you can’t enjoy your life. However, mummy quite support McDonald’s and KFC kiddy meal as they actually gave away interesting toys and yet you can have a meal. Therefore whenever there are interesting toys, mummy and daddy will go to eat the fast food during lunch time (without you) so that we can bring home a surprise to you. All the below were few toys that we collected.

Crazy over Chips

March 21, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Dear Gabriel,

You have become crazy over chips and won’t eat anything else. Your favorite place for chips was A&W at Gurney Plaza. Mummy and Papa have a difficult time getting you to eat during meals. You would turn your head away, and cover your mouth, or spit out the food. Papa lost patience and scolded you for being choosy over your food. You became better after that. Actually Papa had to threaten you that if you didn’t eat your food, you won’t get to eat chips ever. Anyhow, Papa even took the trouble to prepare Fish and Chips at home. Because Papa love you. You enjoyed eating the chips and the fish as well. You said “Papa, the fish and chips is so nice! I like! Next time you cook for me again!” This made Papa shed tears of joy. Your words were worth all the effort.

Irresistable Hakka Stew Pork

October 20, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Dear Gabriel,

On Sunday 19-Oct afternoon Papa cooked Hakka Stew Pork or “Moon Zhu Nyook” for dinner the next day. We planned to go out for dinner, since it was Sunday. And since Papa cooked quite a lot, we planned to give some to Uncle Bart, and bring you to play with Didi Julian. It was a little past your dinner time and you were quite hungry before we left for dinner. You were looking for somethine to eat on the dinner table and you saw something and said you wanted some. It was Uncle Bart’s portion. Then Papa told you we will give to Uncle Bart, and you can try some that was reserved for the next day’s dinner. Mummy gave you a bit of pork and bracket fungus (“Mook Ngee”). It was so delicious that you can’t wait to eat some more. Then you said “We take to Uncle Bart’s house to eat, ar, OK?” Papa explained that we will go out for dinner, and eat something else, but you kept on wanting to eat the irresistable Hakka Moon Zhu Nyook…

Love,
Papa
