Apparently my family and I have been eating out for almost a week now. No its not because my mom is too lazy or busy to cook, she's away attending to my dear sister who has puffy eyes or something. Pizzas, McDonald's, Chicken Skewers, Secret Recipe is what you get if you leave 4 guys alone in a house with no instructions on what to cook.
3 out of 4 ( including moi ) of those guys know how to cook but we are not told of where the vegetables, chickens etc are placed especially me since I just came back from a full semester of uni. As soon as dad arrived home after sending mom to the airport he asked us "Where do you want to eat tonight?" Out came Sushi, McDonald's, Pizza, Thai, Chinese and other. Don't get me wrong, I love eating out as much as cooking. Less dishes to clean, heck we don't even have to do the dishes if we eat out. No fuss and mess in the kitchen. The only thing is the amount at the end of the receipt !
Every time I go eat out in Kuching, I forget that the price of food here are not the same as they are in Kelantan. Drinks cost a mere RM 2 - RM 2.50 max in Kelantan while here they even cost around RM 3 to RM 5 ! I was surprised when I saw the price of Ayam Penyet here was 7 ringgit. I was about to yell at the owner at how obscured the price was but then I slowly remind myself about the price different of food here.
I am actually making this post because of the pain I feel every time I eat out with my family. Its as if I am ignoring all the pain and sweat that I drip every morning and evening after doing Pilates. Just imagine, doing 30 minutes to an hour of Pilates all flushed down the toilet with a single bite of a double cheese burger.
Still contemplating whether to eat out tomorrow at some fancy restaurant for Dad's birthday or have his son cook for him his famous pasta and spaghetti ... That reminds me, I have not gotten him a gift ! Till then....
