Honey, wassup for dinner?
A typical homecook dinner will look something like this ....
It consist of :
Rice, main source of carbohydrates
Fried chicken wing, a look at the golden crispy skin already makes me feeling hungry.
Hub & I love to eat sinful fried stuff.
I find that the chicken wing is fried to a pleasant color which makes me just want to post this up. *click on the picture to appreciate the dish*
Tantalising....yum yum.... :) ~~~~
Steam Salmon with magarine, good source of omega 3 for the kids.
A slice like this cost near to S$5.
I try to have fish daily for the kids.
Either salmon, batang fish, red snapper, red garouper or kurau fish.
The kids just love soup. Zac has a habit of drinking soup daily after his meal.
The fish ball + sweet corn + carrot soup is one of his favourite.
Stir-fried brocolli with carrot and shrimps. Easy to prepare yet nutritious.
Good source of calcium from brocolli since Zac refused to drink milk.
So a simple meal at home would cost about S$12.
Divide by 4 adults : 3 adult & 2 kids (= 1 adult).
That will be S$3/meal, really value for money consider the fact that we have fish & meat.
Before you start to praise me for doing up such a mouth-watering meal for the family.
I better let you know that these are prepared by my very GOOD chef at home.
My indonesian helper. She is an EXCELLENT cook, at least to me.... she is!! *applaud*
I am just a LAZY one .... LOL :)
44 Hugs for Amos & Zac:

You purposely leave those 'meat' there on the stick to piss off your mum for not cooking sinful dishes often huh...notti boy lah !! ;)
Janice, I haven't had lunch yet and that chicken is sure making me hungry. LOL!
My wife cooks about same 'categories' too. We have rice, one main meat dish (fish, chicken or pork) vegetables and sometimes a soup dish.

You are great at doing all the calculation and listing the nutritions.. haha.. good mom you are! :)
Wow, simple but very tasty and nutritious for S$12??
Sounds like your salmon is much cheaper than in UK, how can that be wor? So not fair!!
Nick : I think those dishes are typical chinese dishes so... sama sama. Your wifey better than me at least still can cook. You are so fortunate :) :)
MW : Wah... how come your saliva dripping out from my notebook huh.... LOL :)

Jenny : I love chicken too. You have the same taste bud as me. Ok, you better hurry go for your dinner ;p
Jean : I love raw salmon too. But at home cant have that cos the kiddo cannot take raw food mah! It is very automatically to be calculating & doing up those nutritious menu once become a mama. I'm more & more like an aunty already *sob* :( ~~~
Judy : A nutritious meal for S$12 really value for money hor. I cant believe until I calculate it while doing this post leh.

Bon appetite
Hi Janice,
Ohhh... no.. even at this hour (almost midnight), I still could not withstand this temptation. I am feeling hungry looking at these photos. Looks like I got to find something to eat after this comment. :-)
Lili : Brocolli with carrot & shrimps is really a healthy dish for your boys. You should give it a try. For the sake of them, you have to try to cope with the vege as well.... good luck :)
Sam Chan : LOoks like my helper is really successful in making those dishes so palatable that everyone just felt hungry looking at it.
:) ~~~
You better grap something to eat else you will not be able to withstand the temptations to continue your blogging... haha :D
Yum yumm yummy! Jean, looking at your food, I feel hungry.
Wow, looks delicious! My favourite foods are fish and chicken and I eat them no matter how they are prepared. I only wish I had a helper to cook, but here in America that would cost over $20,000 per year!
Emila : LOL!! Sayang, you got my name "sa lah".. ini Janice, not Jean...I think Jean & I are kinda use to it now cos pple keep getting the both of us mixed up ;)
Bobby : Good !! You are not a fussy eater & that's easy to cook dishes for you. Too bad that I cant cook, else I could fly over to be your chef. Wow !! $20K is in USD or SGD?
wah....janice, u are really a good cook ah...can cook so many dishes at one go..!!!
Huhu...sorry Janice!! What was I thinking...maybe just now I read Jean's comment in Marzie's post, or was it because I read Jean's blog at the same time? *scratching my head* Anyway, sorry again, Janice!
Chin Nee : Don't praise me too early...you din read carefully...those dishes are not cook by me lah... LOL :)
Emila : No worries dear, I understand what you are saying cos sometimes I also blur blur esp with so many friends blog open up at the same time... hehehe ;p
So envious... good life good food with lotsa TLC.
Ed : envy leh....hehehe ;p
Looks great. When do I get my invite...lol!!! Just joking :o)
Shana : I would love to invite you with you 3 little ones over of course. You are one great mum too :)
Nvm later I shall dish out everything in the fridge and cook myself a feast. Whole family abroad... I shall self-entertain. Steam garouper first on the list. =P
Okay I am ALL over the slamo that looks good and I think I am going to have to hit you up for some recipes! I can't beleive you are a fried chicken girl! If you like a spicy southern style, my grandma's recipe is AWESOME! Take care!
