A week of a carnivorous woman's life....

Sunday morning (late morning), had a light brekky at Melbourne St. ......a mushroom omelette and a good cuppa of cappucino.

Munch on some macadamias (I'm so hooked on nuts.......even though i suspect they are the reason for my expanding waistline, which has taken the shape of spare tyre..........) and slept.

Nothing left in the fridge, but some anchovies, a few stalk of celery, loads of carrots and potatoes. Well, the easiest thing to cook from all that is make some anchovy stock, dunk some pasta/macaroni and chuck all the vegs for a simple dinner.

Well, I had that for dinner, had the left over for lunch the next day, and by the end of the day....

I have this light and airy feeling......

I think my body is detoxing......

because for the past 24 hours......

I didn't have any meat...............

Seriously, people should know the importance of meat....

Without it, its hard to feel "human"..........

Driving home after work, I'm still wondering what's wrong with me....why do I have this empty feeling in my gut.......and I saw KFC along Anzac Highway. It struck me then that I have not eaten any meat and .......I guess you know the rest of the story. KFC to the rescue.....2 piece of fried chicken........

If there's a roadside bakuteh stall in Adelaide, I think I'll tahan and drive there for a meat fix!!!!

Anyway, I survived the rest of the week with crappy food from :

1) Had Domino's Pizza at Elaine's place. 4 large pizza for 4 adults.......

2) Tried Yum Sing Express from Glenelg. Fastfood Chinese Sytle ..........which, I personally thing, is more of ang moh food impersonating to be chinese food. Fried chicken pieces skewered with a sate stick is their version of sate chicken, spring roll...well its spring roll la. And butterish fried rice......together with one serve of salt & pepper squid.

All for less than $10. I can't complain...coz its considered dirt cheap for dinner. Its hard to have a meal outside that cost less than AUD10.

3) I'm late in meeting the girls for movies down at Palace Cinema, Rundle St. So late that I didn't have time to grab a burger or something from the likes of Hungry Jacks, McDonalds or KFC. Had a big pack of popcorn (yucky coz its salty) , coke and to end that with a Choc Top ice cream.

By then, I have this gnawing feeling that I'm not eating right........

And decided to do something about it :

Char Siew - the way Mom makes it :

Covered the marinated pork belly in foil, and chuck it in hot oven (200 degrees Celcius). After about 30-40 mins, the slab of fat meat look like that :

Sliced it into small pieces :

Put the remaining marinade on the pork slices, and chuck the plate of fatty char siew in the making into the oven - uncovered.

After...I think another 30 mins, the char siew turn out like that :

While waiting for the char siew to cook, I cooked the following :

I MISS STAYING AT HOME....................every night have good food from mommy....

I MISS Kuala Lumpur...where real food is just a stone throw away......................

I MISS all my friends in KL..........who are just a phone call away when I need to have a good makan.....................

I MISS rocky....who really rock my world....

But ...but......

But i don't miss the freaking long working hours........

I don't miss the traffic jams

I don't miss my RM/hr pay..................wahahaha...that's really crappy. I can't imagine for the 2.5 years with the Big 4, I have about 1 month overtime accumulated, that's on top of the 2 months leave I've utilised during 2008. You can do some maths.....assuming 8 std hours/working day, for 52 weeks (that's assuming there's no public holidays), plus 20 days (1 month worth of working days) multiply by 3 mths, i.e, I would have worked for 2560 days per annum (that's the average, ok....). That's more than 40 hr/week.......can someone out there tell me if that's legal???

Seriously, I think I'm worst than a confused teenager.......kekekekek
